Accounting for BEV Users’ Risk Attitudes and Charging Inertia in En Route Charging Choice Behavior
Table 1
List of attitudinal questions in the initial scale.
| Label | Question | Reference |
| Risk attitudes-related | I will choose to travel by BEVs only when the remaining battery is more than sufficient for this trip | [3, 9, 19, 33] | I will not drive a BEV for a long trip when the distance exceeds the total battery range | If the remaining battery is lower than expected, I will look for chargers instead of changing travel strategy to save energy | If the remaining battery is not enough for the next planned trip, I will charge | I don’t like to make risky decisions, even though the decision may bring me great benefits |
| Charging inertia-related | I will charge when the battery drops to a specific level | [18, 25, 34] | I will charge as soon as I return home | I will charge when I approach the charging station that is often used | I will charge when I pass by a charging station | I will charge when daily trip is over | I will charge at a specific time of the day (e.g., midnight) | After a specific activity (e.g., working and shopping), I will charge | I will compare the electricity price of each station and choose the cheapest one to charge |
