Optimal charging operation of battery swapping stations with QoS guarantee
TL;DR: A novel queueing network model is proposed to capture the operation nature for an individual BSS, formulate the charging schedule problem as a stochastic control problem and achieve the optimal charging policy by dynamic programming.

Zero-emission vehicle exposure within U.S. carsharing fleets and impacts on sentiment toward electric-drive vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the impacts of ZEV exposure on U.S. carsharing users and found that exposure to PHEVs or EVs through car-sharing increased a user's reported likeliness to purchase a ZEV in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing demand by urban consumers for plug-in electric vehicles under future cost and technological scenarios
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a survey-based discrete-choice exercise with 961 potential new vehicle purchasers in large US cities to assess how consumer demand might change with various breakthroughs in PEV technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the sharing economy and its implication on sustainability in smart cities
TL;DR: In this paper, the main drivers of the sharing economy through an exhaustive weighting and meta-analysis of previous relevant quantitative research articles, obtained using a systematic literature review methodology, are evaluated.
Electric Vehicles - Environmental, Economic and Practical Aspects: As Seen by Current and Potential Users
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey among 1,721 EV owners showed that they experience few disadvantages and that the number of EV-only households is growing, and almost all EV owners plan to continue buying EVs.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Giving Green to Get Green: Incentives and Consumer Adoption of Hybrid Vehicle Technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative efficacy of state sales tax waivers, income tax credits and non-tax incentives for hybrid-electric vehicle adoption in the United States has been studied and shown that the type of tax incentive offered is as important as the value of the tax incentive.

Beyond batteries: an examination of the benefits and barriers to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) transition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore both the promise and the possible pitfalls of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, focusing first on its definition and then on its technical state-of-the-art.

Electric vehicles: How much range is required for a day’s driving?
TL;DR: In this article, a full year of high-resolution driving data from 484 instrumented gasoline vehicles in the US is used to analyze daily driving patterns, and from those infer the range requirements of electric vehicles (EVs).
