The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The sustainable future for transport lies in a radical shift to low carbon technologies. The electrification of surface transport coupled with an increase in electricity production from renewable sources will play a major role in this transition to low carbon vehicles in the years to come. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles is obstructed by a number of barriers, both real and perceived. One such barrier is the importance placed on the provision of public charging infrastructure. This paper, through analysis of soft data and smart telemetry data, investigates the use of public charging infrastructure by 100 participants and over 6000 charging events in the SwitchEV trial. It shows that recharging events that occur at public charging locations could be reduced by up to 93% through the maximisation of energy transfer at non-public locations.
