Electric Taxis in Berlin – Analysis of the Feasibility of a Large-Scale Transition

摘要: Battery operated electric vehicles (BEVs) offer the opportunity of running a zero-emission car fleet. However, due to their current range constraints, vehicle operations are mainly attractive for inner-city transport, such as taxi business. This paper is bringing together facts and assumptions about Berlin’s transport conditions BEVs in Germany provide scope electrification. Firstly, necessary amount fast chargers determined taking general constraints business into account. For charging, especially busy days during cold winter will be critical. Furthermore, pricing scheme charger usage introduced. Based on this, operating operation costs hybrid battery compared. The authors conclude that BEV only pay off if vehicle’s life can warranted over long span or energy drops.
