The objective of this study is to understand what factors drive household decisions to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure at home. To this end, we administrated an online questionnaire to 1,199 households drawn from across the state of New South Wales in Australia, who were asked to complete one of two discrete choice experiments (DCEs). The DCEs were customized based upon the type of property the recruited respondents reside in, with this being either a separate private dwelling (i.e., house) or a house/apartment belonging to a building complex. A Logit Mixed Logit model (Train, 2016), a non-parametric version of the traditional random effects discrete choice model, is used to analyse the data obtained from the two DCEs. The empirical findings suggest that both sampled populations positively value the opportunity to endow their property with EV home charging points, with those who live within apartment buildings clearly preferring having access to private charging as opposed to communal charging.

本研究的目的是了解哪些因素促使家庭决定在家中安装电动汽车充电基础设施。为此，我们对来自澳大利亚新南威尔士州的 1,199 户家庭进行了在线问卷调查，要求他们完成两个离散选择实验 (DCE) 中的一个。DCE 是根据招募的受访者居住的房产类型定制的，这可以是单独的私人住宅（即房屋）或属于建筑群的房屋/公寓。Logit 混合 Logit 模型（Train，2016)，传统随机效应离散选择模型的非参数版本，用于分析从两个 DCE 获得的数据。实证研究结果表明，两个抽样人群都积极重视为他们的财产提供电动汽车家庭充电点的机会，住在公寓楼内的人显然更喜欢使用私人充电而不是公共充电。
