Peer-to-peer residential charger sharing: Exploring public perceptions in California
调查了367个加州电动汽车家庭对点对点住宅充电桩共享服务的看法，约28%愿意提供充电桩、31%愿意租用，收入、便利和成本是主要动机，责任担忧是主要障碍。
Peer-to-peer residential charger sharing (P2P-EVSE) matches private electric vehicle (EV) chargers with drivers seeking near-home charging alternatives. We surveyed 367 California EV households to assess their perceptions of this emerging service. Approximately 28% of respondents expressed willingness to host and 31% to rent through a P2P-EVSE platform. Hosts prioritized rental income, while renters valued charging convenience and cost savings. Liability concerns were the primary deterrent for both groups, with environmental benefits considered less critical. EV drivers in detached houses showed lower interest in renting, while those with above-average mileage and daily charging habits showed higher interest. The success of P2P-EVSE in reducing barriers to near-home charging access will depend on matching price offers and bids. Regions like Southern California, where cost disparities between home and public charging are greater, have a higher match probability. Further research and policy development to support P2P-EVSE could quickly integrate private chargers into the marketplace.
