Survey on Electric Vehicles and Battery Swapping Stations: Expectations of Existing and Future EV Owners

Due to maturity of the battery technology and public incentives, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity among drivers. However, there are still both technical and psychological obstacles to the widespread adoption of EVs. The objective technical issues include limited driving range, high purchase cost, limited number of charging stations, and long charging times, among others. On the other hand, some of the psychological issues are range anxiety, skepticism towards new technology and lack of distinctive EV models. In order to gain insight into both technical and social perception of EVs, an on-line survey was conducted. This paper reports the results of the survey and analyses them in order to provide insight into preferences and expectations of the potential EV owners, especially with respect to battery swapping stations.
