Abstract:
In the context of the rapid popularization of battery electric vehicles (BEV), it has become a key problem to deeply understand the charging demand and reasonably configure charging facilities. Exploring the relationship between trip chaining patterns and charging choice of battery electric vehicle users may aid in understanding the mechanism of charging demand. Based on the recursive simultaneous bivariate probit model, we integrate the impact of BEV users’ risk aversion attitude and develop two causal structures: one is that the charging choice is determined first and influences trip chaining pattern, the other is that trip chaining pattern is determined first and influences charging choice. Next, a stated preference survey is conducted through online platform and field survey, and a total of 494 valid questionnaires are collected. The model results show that the fitting effect of the causal structure model where trip chaining pattern precedes charging choice is better than another causal structure model. Moreover, integrating the influence of risk aversion attitude in the form of latent variable into the RSBP model can significantly improve the fit goodness of the model. These findings will help to further understand the mechanism of charging demand and have some implications on estimating charging demand.
