How to increase the charging network for EV drivers? A Community-based Charging solution for EV drivers

摘要

One of the biggest issues of EV roll-out and mass-adoption for EV drivers is the limited availability of a large charging network when traveling. This paper outlines the key results and feedback of an online survey contacted in 2016 by the author about the idea and concept of using private charging stations from EV drivers at home for public use. Based on the results of the survey, the second part of the paper will present an innovative approach of a community-based model to increase the charging network for EV drivers.
