Abstract

The USAge of battery electric vehicles in the commercial sector provides a lot of advantages. However many commercial company owners are reluctant to switch to battery electric vehicles. Important reasons for this are the insufficient range of battery electric vehicles and the lack of charging infrastructure. This paper presents an analysis of the charging infrastructure for battery electric vehicles in the commercial sector. The analysis is based on fleet test data, which was collected by 16 different commercial companies and 32 individual vehicles in the area of Munich. The approach in this paper is to use a simulation model, in which a backward-facing longitudinal dynamic model can simulate different types of electric vehicles. In addition, a charging simulation is integrated which includes the charging behavior of the user and different types of charging stations in the fleet test area of Munich. With the electric vehicle and charging simulation, it is possible to evaluate the current and future charging infrastructure of Munich. A comparison between public, company, employee and customer charging station locations is displayed in the results.
