5 Evaluation

Aligning household production with EV consumption indicates

dynamic and complex relationships.

1. Attitudes Towards Aligning.

2. Willingness to Align and Leveraging Convenience.
3. Household Mobility.
4. Charging routines and Electricity Production.
5. Technology Assisted Charging.
6 Evaluation : 1- Attitudes
Towards Aligning.

1. motivated :
earn money
technology interested
environmental awareness

2. not motivated :
typically persons with less interest in
technology and optimising it or
being green.
7 Evaluation : 2- Willingness to Align and
Leveraging Convenience

Willingness to align and leveraging convenience to most

household members aligning electricity consumption with production was
perceived as an inconvenience

Economic factors such as tariff schemes and convenience played a role.

8 Evaluation : 3- Household Mobility

two ride patterns :

planned rides: Everyday trips such as going to work.
ad-hoc: nature required more planning in the form of thinking about the
available range and the need for additional charging

EVs take some time getting used to, all household members felt
comfortable driving it for planned rides. In contrast to planned rides is
the ad-hoc rides.
9 Evaluation : 4- Charging routines and
Electricity Production
Charging Routines :
One of the more regular routines that have been
found in all households was to always begin
charging their EV when returning home after a
drive

Electricity Production :
as a major challenge, production from PVs during
night time is minimal.
as a major challenge, production from a wind
turbine during the summer months, because of
lacking wind.
10 Evaluation: 5- Technology
Assisted Charging

two technologies to charging their EV :

feedback displays : include
information on charging status and
remaining charging time.

Charging timers : included features

to time charging,
11 Results

Relying on People to Align : that ideology alone is not enough to

overcome aligning EV consumption with household electricity production

Electricity Production and Mobility : it difficult for householders to align

charging with the production of electricity from PVs

Spatial Alignment of Consumption : they were restricted in charging when

they were not at home
 Aligning household production with EV
12 Conclusion consumption indicates dynamic and complex
relationships.

the role of economic factors

aligning electricity production and charging is

challenged by :
mobility patterns.
charging routine.
household attitudes.
