Scholars suggest that carsharing may lead to a reduction in car ownership and car travel. Research on how carsharing is connected to other sustainable effects such as an increased openness to micro to mid-sized battery electric vehicles is limited, however. We thus adopted a stated choice survey with 995 participants from Switzerland to test the car purchase preference of mobility users with and without carsharing experience. Results suggest that - for people living in the countryside - carsharing users have a 3 times higher likelihood of choosing a micro to mid-sized battery electric vehicle compared to participants without carsharing experience. We find a similar trend for people living in the agglomerations. We therefore recommend policy makers and mobility planners to take these benefits into account when planning carsharing services and its role in mobility systems.

学者认为，汽车共享可能会导致汽车保有量和汽车出行减少。但是，关于汽车共享与其他可持续影响（例如对微型至中型电池电动汽车的开放度增加）的联系的研究受到限制。因此，我们通过了来自995名瑞士参与者的明示选择调查，以测试有无汽车共享经验的出行用户的汽车购买偏好。结果表明-对于居住在农村的人们来说-与没有汽车共享经验的参与者相比，汽车共享使用者选择微型至中型电池电动汽车的可能性要高3倍。对于居住在城市群中的人们，我们发现了类似的趋势。
