To what extent does mobility behavior change the charging network?: will DC charging become dominant-Presented at the EVTeC and APE Japan on September 30, 2018

摘要

Mobility behavior is changing. Not only in the Netherlands, but in Europe as a whole. The conventional car is no longer the only way to travel from A to B. The engine becomes a battery, is silent and has no harmful emission at the pipe. With an electric engine the electric vehicle (EV) seems to fit in an urban area. At the same time municipalities create policies to ban the car out of the city center. Concepts like carsharing, public transport and Mobility as a Service fill up the need for clean transportation in city centers. Large transfer stations appear at the city borders. Users of the transfer stations park their cars and change to an other mobility. The change in mobility behavior, brings along the question if the current charging network in the Netherlands still meets the needs of the electric vehicle driver. In the Netherlands there is an adequate network of AC charging points. In this paper we explore the need of AC or DC charging points in relation to different mobility concepts.
