The future of private car mobility might be predominantly electric and powered by batteries. However, the environmental impacts of electric vehicles increase significantly with larger battery sizes. When relying on car utilization, vehicles with smaller batteries (i.e. smaller car, shorter range) should generally be preferred. However, the adoption of small cars is exacerbated by misjudgments […]
We adopted a stated choice survey with 995 participants from Switzerland to test the car purchase preference of mobility users with and without carsharing experience. Results suggest that – for people living in the countryside – carsharing users have a 3 times higher likelihood of choosing a micro to mid-sized battery electric vehicle (BEV) compared […]
Alternative mobility lifestyles are often seen as costly compared to owning a conventional car. We provide a basis for discussion and compare total cost of ownership of Swiss conventional car users and three sustainable mobility lifestyles with participants of the Swiss Household Energy Demand Survey conducted in 2020. The future of private car mobility might […]
What factors increase the openness to switch to a sustainable long-term mobility lifestyle from previously using a combustion engine car? A lot of research about sustainable mobility is conducted on mode choice behaviour and less so on long-term mobility decisions, especially considering a multimodal mobility lifestyle. We want to close this gap and address the […]
Can carsharing further increase the acceptance of electric mobility? Electromobility is considered to play a central role in the decarbonisation of mobility, provided that the electricity is generated from renewable sources. While northern countries such as Norway, Iceland or Sweden already have a market share of more than 10% of the new car sales for […]
