Have you considered a vehicle that runs on electricity for your household? Kurani 2016
New Car Buyers Perspectives Most households with negative ZEV valuation have yet to ask themselves, Is a PEV right for my household? The importance of awareness, knowledge, Promotional policies that mitigate up-front costs still leave the newtechnology averse with an expensive unknown. The effects of incentives Among those who did not design a PEV or FCEV is very low. Those with positive ZEV valuations have multiple motivations, Everyone highly motivated by fuel cost savings is highly motivated by something else, too. Despite low awareness, knowledge, experience, and prior consideration, 24% to 39% of respondents design a PEV or FCEV as their next new vehicle. Kurani 2016

Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded If public charging is free we need about 60 chargers per 100 PEVs If public charging is congested nobody goes there anymore Especially not those who need it in order to go back home. The only one who can use it are does who can charge at home anyway. Paid public charging may reduce market share but increase the usability of BEVs.

PG&E Scenario 2025 Home dominates in urban areas (10 AM peak) Work centers have work based demand (noon and 6pm peak) Corridors draw from far away (5-8 pm peak) Corridors are the most speculative. Depends on confidence of availability and increase in battery Size https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/aboutpge/environment/what-we-are-doing/electric-programinvestment-charge/epic-1.25.pdf 30
