Abstract:

Many low-and medium-income households are disproportionately affected by high traffic congestion and increased vehicle emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) produce less emissions compared to diesel vehicles; however, they are still unaffordable for these households despite EV incentives and credits. More effective strategies are needed to help low-and medium-income communities get access to cleaner transportation options such as EVs and lower potential health impacts. Shared EV service is one way to help combat these issues. Creating a car sharing service with EVs in these areas can benefit these communities by reducing a greater amount of emissions, bridging the existing equity gap, increasing mobility for some users, and reducing vehicle ownership and user transportation expenses. Therefore, the major objective of this project is to assess the feasibility of these services in terms of operation and recognize the potential service areas within a metropolitan. The approach used for this study is as follows: identifying the households and zones for potential shared EV service use, evaluating passenger car tours for car sharing and ride matching services, designing a two-way EV sharing service, and evaluating its performance. The current case study in the Houston-Galveston area showed a potential for initializing a fleet of 20 shared EVs within six zones with high demand in terms of passenger miles. Such a service can accommodate more than 24,000 passenger miles and save 3 tons of CO2 per day. The current study can be used for exploring shared EV service designs as well as their cost and impact assessment.
