The Assessment of the Experiences and Identification of the Expectations of Electric Car Users Regarding the Logistics Infrastructure for Electromobility in the City of Piła

Summary/Abstract: Aim: The article aims to assess the logistics infrastructure for passenger car electromobility in the city of Piła, together with the identification of areas requiring development. Methodology: To find out about the experiences and expectations of electric car users regarding the use of public charging stations available in urban areas, a survey questionnaire was used - a statistically representative sample of 180 respondents. Results: Electric passenger cars are mainly used for short distances - up to 25 kilometres. Car users point out that there are not enough connectors at charging stations, especially the most popular ones - Type 2 and CCS. The next new charging station should be located in a high-traffic area - either a shopping centre or a buffer car park. The following were recommended as priority infrastructure investments for the time being: purchase of new chargers together with adaptation of charging stations and dedicated parking spaces for electric cars. Implications and recommendations: The results of the study are directly relevant for a medium-sized city. However, they are also indirectly useful for smaller as well as larger cities - the possibility of further analyses of similarities and differences within and between agglomerations. Originality/value: The objective formulated in the article and the research methodology used (questionnaire survey) are of a universal nature. According to the proposed research approach, each city can carry out its own assessment of the urban electromobility infrastructure.
