Study from The Transportation Energy Institute's
Electric Vehicle Council Offers Current Perceptions and
Behaviors
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Electric vehicle (EV) charging station site hosts
might be able to better attract and satisfy their customer needs if
they focus on key site attributes related to safety, according to a
new report, "EV Market Insights", released today by the
Transportation Energy Institute's (TEI) Electric Vehicle
Council (EVC).
This important report combines insights
from drivers with the experience of charger site hosts.
"There have been hundreds of surveys released that ask drivers
about their experience, preference and intent," said John Eichberger, Executive Director of TEI. "But
this is the first that we are aware that combines insights from
drivers with the experience of charger site hosts. This type of
analysis is critical if we are to build a charging network that
satisfies the needs of both the driver and the site host and
provides business value to those investing in infrastructure."
According to the report, the most important site features
desired by EV drivers included:
1) Multiple
charging spots
2) Open 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week (provided by 52% of sites surveyed)
3) Chargers located in a highly
visible location (provided by 68% of sites surveyed)
4) Bright lighting around charging
units (provided by 56% of sites surveyed)
5) Visible security cameras (provided
by 65% of sites surveyed)
Charging station site hosts that offered these services, plus a
playground for children, could potentially "activate" 94.2% of EV
drivers to visit their site for their charging needs.
