Abstract

This paper will provide a closer view on the early adopters of electric vehicles (EVs) for commercial transport in Germany, with a focus on the influences of electric vehicles on internal corporate processes. In particular, trip patterns involving EV usages will be described and the question whether the integration of EVs in fleets has an impact on trip patterns will be discussed. The results first show EVs are purchased as additional vehicles. Only forty percent replaces a vehicle powered by internal combustion engine (ICEV). Second EVs are driven by commercial users having trip profiles for integrating them directly without any adjustments. Third, the impact on transport organizations is therefore deemed to be marginal.
