“…Also, the portion of the net buffer is higher when the trip is short and lower when the trip becomes longer and the buffer stays unchanged. Under 10 km-trip and 60 km-trip, the portion of interviewees choosing the longest safety range (40.4% under 10 km-trip, 21.6% under 60 kmtrip) is much higher than that of the second longest range (11.1% under 10 km-trip, 16.8% under 60 km-trip). This may be due to the uncertainty the drivers have when the BEV range remaining is low or the trip mileage remaining is high.…”

“…The first part (Appendix Part I) is mainly about the driver's basic information, including gender, age, and driving age. Based on the previous reference [16], the second part (Appendix Part II) is designed with several 5-point Likert scales and multiple-choice questions on the range anxiety's influence. The Likert scales on the driver's satisfaction level towards vehicle and driving style are set with the intention that the higher score always refers to a better situation.…”

Drivers tend to have more range anxiety compared with driving traditional fuel vehicles if they are driving battery electric vehicle (BEV) with a long trip. Range anxiety could potentially have negative effect on driver's emotions and behaviors. In order to understand this behavior and improve the related safety issues, this paper will focus on BEV drivers' study in China. A survey on BEV drivers' actual range anxiety as well as the effect of range anxiety on drivers' behaviors is conducted in this research. Levels of feelings and attitudes of the interviewees are quantized with Likert scales using mathematical tools of the relationship. Safety buffer is defined as a measurement of the period given range anxiety starting to significantly intervene in driver's operation. The research reveals the proportional quotative relationship between BEV drivers' safety buffer and the mileage of trip. Factors, including driving experience, satisfactory level of recharge accessibility, and resistibility to emotions, are found to be significant contributing factors to influence the perceived range anxiety level of BEV drivers. This research will provide implications to the future study on the interface design of BEV.
