Abstract: Abstract The limited endurance mileage of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) affects mode choice of commuters inevitably. To help facilitate BEV charging and improve accessibility of transit stations, the park-charge-ride (PCR) services have been implemented in some cities. This study develops a deterministic continuum equilibrium model for a monocentric city to analyze the modal choice behavior of commuters in a transportation system with BEVs and PCR services. Theoretical analysis is conducted for the model and some equilibrium properties are presented. The positive influence for setting PCR facilities is confirmed from theoretical point of view. It is also found that in the transportation systems with PCR services, a location exists that commuters living closer to CBD should choose railway as their only transportation mode. By deploying the discrete approximation approach, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the model. The impact of factors including initial state of charge of the battery electric vehicles, in carriage crowding cost of the railway transit are studied via numerical analysis.
