Analysis of charging behavior when using battery electric vehicles in commercial transport

Abstract
The use of battery electric vehicles - BEVs in commercial transport may require the integration of recharging during the usual operating hours. This might lead to a conflict between the commercial activity and a non-usability period of the vehicles due to charging. This conflict is an obstacle to the suitability of BEVs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse the charging behaviour of organisations, which already use BEVs in commercial transport. Furthermore, this paper provides conclusions on the feasibility of integrating recharging into the daily routine and the pursued energy-related and temporal charging behaviour.
