Abstract After a few years of initial sales, there is an opportunity to analyze how early hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) adopters evaluated the spatial arrangement of a network of stations prior to adoption. Since strategies differ on how best to arrange initial stations in a region to facilitate adoption, understanding how they did so informs future station planning methods. We distributed a web-based survey to 129 FCV adopters throughout California in 2019, asking them where they lived and traveled at the time of adoption, up to five stations they planned to use, and subjective reasons for listing those stations. We estimated shortest travel times to respondents' homes and other frequent locations, and deviations from frequently traveled routes. We compared differences in subjective and objective convenience for primary, secondary, and lower-ranked stations, and tabulated the different combinations of stations that satisfied adopters' various geographic criteria. Over 80% planned to rely on a portfolio of multiple stations subjectively convenient to key activity locations, and nearly 25% who provided subjective geographic criteria for listing stations did not include “near home” as their top reason for their primary or secondary station. Estimated travel times to stations subjectively considered “near” home, work, and other location types exhibit variability, but consistently decay beyond 90 min. Primary stations are subjectively and objectively more convenient to home and work than lower-ranked stations, and more associated with subjective convenience to home and objective convenience to work than secondary stations. Other destination types align with lower-ranked stations.

早期氢燃料电池汽车采用者如何从地理上评估加利福尼亚的加油站网络

摘要 经过几年的初始销售，有机会分析早期氢燃料电池汽车 (FCV) 的采用者在采用之前如何评估站点网络的空间布置。由于在如何最好地安排一个地区的初始站点以促进采用方面的策略不同，了解他们如何这样做可以为未来的站点规划方法提供信息。我们在 2019 年向加利福尼亚州的 129 名 FCV 采纳者分发了一项基于网络的调查，询问他们在采纳时居住和旅行的地点、他们计划使用的最多五个站点，以及列出这些站点的主观原因。我们估计到受访者家和其他频繁地点的最短旅行时间，以及与频繁旅行路线的偏差。我们比较了小学、中学、和排名较低的站点，并列出了满足采用者各种地理标准的站点的不同组合。超过 80% 的人计划依靠主观上方便到主要活动地点的多个站点的组合，并且将近 25% 提供站点列表主观地理标准的人没有将“靠近家”作为其主要或次要站点的首要原因。主观上认为“靠近”家、工作和其他位置类型的站点的估计旅行时间表现出可变性，但始终衰减超过 90 分钟。主站在主观上和客观上比排名较低的站更方便家庭和工作，并且与二级站相比，主观上的家庭方便和客观的工作方便相关。
