Event Date
In this webinar, researchers will compare drivers' experiences at gasoline stations with those at DC fast-charging stations, including identifying factors associated with negative and positive charging experiences.

- Aaron Rabinowitz, Postdoctoral Researcher at the UC Davis Electric Vehicle Research Center
Description
Public DC fast-charging infrastructure has expanded rapidly alongside the growth in sales of electric Vehicles (EVs). However, because public charging is still developing, it often relies on public funds, may be unprofitable, and many locations do not offer the amenities that consumers want.
In this webinar, researchers will compare drivers' experiences at gasoline stations with those at DC fast-charging stations, including identifying factors associated with negative and positive charging experiences. Researchers will also explore how EV drivers spend their time while charging, where they go, what they purchase, and what types of amenities they would prefer to see at EV charging sites.
