Title: | Conditions for electric vehicle taxi: A case study in the Greater Stockholm region | Authors: | Hagman, Jens LANGBROEK, Joram |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC | Source: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION, 13(6), p. 450-459 | Abstract: | This study investigates the usability of electric vehicles (EVs) in a taxi company in Greater Stockholm, Sweden. By investigating cost and revenue data of both electric and conventional taxi vehicles, as well as by interviewing taxi drivers and carriers, an assessment has been made of the financial and operational implications of using EVs in a company's taxi fleet. Both the drivers' and the carriers' perspectives have been examined. The main findings are that the investigated e-taxis have a similar or lower Total Cost of Ownership and slightly higher profitability than the investigated conventional taxis. For taxi drivers, using e-taxis implies more advanced planning and revenue service time being sacrificed for charging. However, certain customers' preferences for EVs, as well as benefits such as corporate clients favoring e-taxis and a zero emission priority queuing system at Stockholm's main international airport (partly) compensate for time devoted to charging. In order to facilitate increased use of e-taxis, more fast charging facilities should become available at strategic locations. Besides that, there are signs that carriers' lack of information about the opportunities and consequences of shifting towards e-taxis hamper a wider deployment of e-taxis. | Notes: | [Hagman, Jens] KTH Royal Inst Technol, Sch Ind Engn & Management, Stockholm, Sweden.
