“…In more recent years, the focus of these studies of EV recharging has shifted towards analysing factors resulting from the EVs' extra load on the grid. The factors include driving patterns, charging behaviour, energy cost optimisation, and battery longevity [16][17][18][19][20]. …”

“…The results of recent studies suggest that EV uptake rates are likely to be non-linear [19,[21][22][23]. They are also currently at very low levels and both of these mean that at this early stage in EV market development, future EV penetration levels are difficult to predict.…”

“…This paper inherits the general structure of the formal research, with results verifying many of the conclusions from previous studies. Furthermore, it extends on the limitations of earlier studies which found that survey respondents had no driving experiences of EVs [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The contribution of this study is that most surveyed participants had direct experiences of driving EVs, thus reflects the real status of consumer behavior accurately.…”

Abstract:China promoted the large-scale adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in its 13th five-year plan; however, this target faces many obstacles. This paper analyzes the main barriers to widespread adoption of EVs through a survey in Shenzhen, which has the biggest EVs market share out of China's major cities. Based on previous research, this paper conducted a new study using 406 approved questionnaires among 500 participants. Our study proposed five hypotheses to examine the main barriers to widespread adoption of EVs. The analysis was conducted using statistical method that included two-way frequency tables, chi-square test, and factor analysis. The results indicated that perception of advantages of EVs and access to recharging EVs remained the main barriers in large-scale penetration. Furthermore, our study revealed that a drop in financial incentives would not cause a significant decline in the future adoption of EVs. The study provides suggestions to car manufacturers and government policy advisors based on our analysis and discussion.

“…Technical factors include: the number of EVs being charged (EV penetration trend), the availability of charging infrastructure, charging voltage and current levels, charging time, battery technology, battery life time and capacity. An analysis of real EVs driving behaviors is performed in [70]. The results indicated that the use of EVs has changed the daily routines of 36% of the participants leading to a significant reduction both in energy consumption and in greenhouse gas emissions.…”

a b s t r a c tElectric vehicles can become integral parts of a smart grid, since they are capable of providing valuable services to power systems other than just consuming power. On the transmission system level, electric vehicles are regarded as an important means of balancing the intermittent renewable energy resources such as wind power. This is because electric vehicles can be used to absorb the energy during the period of high electricity penetration and feed the electricity back into the grid when the demand is high or in situations of insufficient electricity generation. However, on the distribution system level, the extra loads created by the increasing number of electric vehicles may have adverse impacts on grid. These factors bring new challenges to the power system operators. To coordinate the interests and solve the conflicts, electric vehicle fleet operators are proposed both by academics and industries. This paper presents a review and classification of methods for smart charging (including power to vehicle and vehicle-to-grid) of electric vehicles for fleet operators. The study firstly presents service relationships between fleet operators and other four actors in smart grids; then, modeling of battery dynamics and driving patterns of electric vehicles, charging and communications standards are introduced; after that, three control strategies and their commonly used algorithms are described; finally, conclusion and recommendations are made.
