Abstract

From a planning and policy making standpoint, the location allocation of electric vehicle (EV) refueling stations is intrinsic problem. The preposition is that the more the charging points are installed, the higher the possibility of potential users gaining confidence in driving their EVs. However, the unplanned deployment of infrastructure may cause a waste of investment. Previous research focused on the domestic charging events and the connection to the grid, slim literature covered the non-domestic charging events and patterns of EV owners. This article develops and identifies the charging personas of EV owners using non-domestic charging points. Spatiotemporal analysis was conducted based on the usage data provided by Charge Your Car (CYC) Ltd. Company, the service provider in Tyne and Wear County. This paper reports on the e-mobility system of a metropolitan area in the North East of England, Newcastle-Gateshead Area. It proposes a methodological approach to analyse current EV users’ patterns and assists planning authorities and policy makers in understanding the mobility system hence strategically plan for future EV users.
