Abstract
The effect of different charging infrastructure configurations on the
electric-driven distance of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (e-mileage)
has been investigated, using an agent-based traffic simulation. Our
findings suggest that the same e-mileage can be achieved with fewer
charging poles if the poles support charging from several parking slots
around them, and the charging cable is switched from one vehicle to the
next. We also find that the charging power supported by most Finnish
charging stations, 3.7 kW, and the cable switching delay of 1 h seem to
be sufficient for effective workplace charging.
