Abstract
We present a study to assess the feasibility and implications of replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) in a car-sharing fleet. For the analysis, we used operational data from a local car-sharing company, which encompasses various aspects such as trip distance, start and duration, vehicle type, and pickup and return locations. To evaluate the impact of transitioning the entire fleet to EVs, we used EV and charger models to simulate the battery-powered trips and also the necessary post-trip recharging. Both could affect the service quality of car sharing services, as the requested trip distance might not be covered by an electric vehicle due to range or charging time limitations. Specifically, in our simulation-based analysis, we identified chains of consecutive bookings as a critical factor for car-sharing electrification. Furthermore, to assess the potential impact of electrification on the energy grid, we used data about the local grid load and its composition to relate it to the predicted vehicle charging times.
