Samenvatting

There has been little research towards the characteristics of Dutch electric vehicle (EV) drivers. This paper describes the result of focus groups and a survey with 286 respondents. Results indicate the current EV driver is predominantly a well-educated middle aged male with a high paying job. We link this to the price of the vehicles and the structure of tax incentives. He is moderately environmentally friendly and likes innovation. He loves the driving experience and promotes EVs towards friends. Most EV drivers are unsatisfied with their all electric range and on average a range of 375 km is desired. Bigger batteries will lead to better use of charging infrastructure. Fast charging is considered important for longer trips but not as a replacement for chargers at parking locations. Smart charging is well received - as long as the user stays in control - which bodes well for the synergy between EVs and the renewable electricity grid.
