Charging Persona Study 2021

Charging behaviour of different user segments

The study shows the results of a cluster analysis of e-car drivers who differed significantly in terms of living situation, vehicle use, charging behaviour and attitude towards charging. Based on this analysis, the study develops four different user segments, so-called charging personas.

The Charging Persona Study survey was conducted online in September 2021 with over 2,000 e-car owners in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The deliverable includes a PDF report (approx. 78 pages).
