Our paper titled “Vehicle-to-grid and car sharing: Willingness for flexibility in reservation times in Switzerland” presents the results of a stated preference survey conducted with 777 Mobility car sharing users in Switzerland. This study was part of our Vehicle-to-grid for Car Sharing project, funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, where we aim to analyze the potential of integrating V2G in car sharing services. Understanding the time flexibility of car sharing users is crucial for designing dynamic pricing strategies, for example with the goal to incentivize users to shift their reservation times and thereby to increase the flexibility for V2G.
We found the value of time to be 31CHF/h on average, where older adults, lower income groups and employed adults tend to have lower flexibility. For more details, see our paper published in Transportation Research Part D.
