Abstract

Electic vehicles (EVs) show great potential to cope with the intermittency of renewable energy sources (RES) and provide demand side flexibility required by the smart grid. Furthermore, EVs will increase the electricity consumption. Large scale integration of EVs will probably have substantial impacts on power systems. This paper presents a methodology to transform driving behavior of person into one of the cars in order to analyze the driving pattern of EVs based on the National Travel Surveys. In the proposed methodology, a statistical process is used to obtain the driving behavior of cars by grouping the survey respondents according to the driving license number and car number, and mapping the households with similar characteristics. The proposed methodology was used to carry out the driving pattern analysis in the Nordic region. The detailed driving requirements and charging/discharging availability of vehicles along the day were obtained. Two types of EV availabilities were studied in this paper considering different charging/discharging conditions of EVs for the power system integration, i.e. EV availability all day and EV availability at home. The results show that the daily driving requirements of the Nordic region are not very intensive. The driving patterns of vehicles in the Nordic region vary on weekdays and weekends. The two types of EV availabilities are quite different from each other.

  • Range is technically sufficient for well over 90% of trips taken by Nordic drivers.

    “range is technically sufficient for well over 90% of trips taken by Nordic drivers (Liu et al., 2015;Pearre et al., 2011)”

    From Understanding the socio-technical nexus of Nordic electric vehicle (EV) barriers: A qualitative discussion of range, price, charging and knowledge (2020) · cites this paper as Liu et al., 2015

    Section 3.1 says the four countries’ average daily driving distances can be supported by current EV technologies, and Tables 2–3 show that more than 90% of vehicle-days fall below some distance thresholds. But those tables measure daily distance per vehicle, not the percentage of individual trips within an EV’s range; the paper does not establish the quoted percentage for trips. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • For many experts, range was not actually a technical barrier but rather a knowledge and experience barrier.

    “First, for many experts, range was not actually a technical barrier, but rather was a knowledge and experience barrier, given that EVs could suffice the vast majority of the average trips an average resident in the Nordic countries would take (Liu et al., 2015).”

    From Understanding the socio-technical nexus of Nordic electric vehicle (EV) barriers: A qualitative discussion of range, price, charging and knowledge (2020) · cites this paper as Liu et al., 2015

    Section 3.1 (page not provided) reports that average daily driving is under 50 km in all four Nordic countries and can be supported by current EV technology. It also finds that most vehicles travel short daily distances. The paper does not attribute range concerns to a lack of knowledge or experience, or report experts' views on that barrier. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
