Literature review and motivation for research Sample Clauses

Literature review and motivation for research. The lack of public charging infrastructure is identified in the literature as a major barrier in the development of the EV market. The analysis of Sierzchula et al. (2014) shows that the charging infrastructure coverage was the best predictor of EV adoption and suggests that the installation of charging stations may be more effective than financial measures. Xxxxx et al. (2018b) review the factors which influence the economics of public infrastructure, concluding that psychological factors such as range anxiety are not yet well understood. Nevertheless, the existence of public recharging infrastructure is considered as a key factor for mitigating the range anxiety of EV drivers and encouraging EV usage. Xxxxxxx et al. (2017) examine the relation between daily driving distance and the power of charging service offered, based on data of EVs and infrastructure usage in the UK and the US. The authors claim that fast chargers enable the usage of EVs for trips of distance above their single-charge range and suggest that the existence of fast charging infrastructure can help overcome range limitations of EVs. Yet, the actual charging behaviour of EV users needs to be better understood in order to assess the financial viability (from the perspective of the private investor revenues) of publically-available charging stations. A number of scientific papers analyse data on recharging behaviour to estimate the actual utilization of different charging types. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx (2014) analyse the charging patterns of electric vehicles using data from the Western Australian Electric Vehicle Trial and the EV Charging Research Network in Perth. Their analysis confirms that most of the EV charging takes place at business location and at home. The authors conclude that slow and semi-fast public charging stations will not be properly utilized when the number of EVs is low and that a fast-DC charging network should be favoured as it will satisfy the segment of charging demand associated with the need for quick full recharge.
