Underutilised charging stations can be a bottleneck in the swift transition to electric mobility. This study is the first to research cooperative behaviour at public charging stations as a way to address improved usage of public charging stations. It does so by viewing public charging stations as a common-pool resource and explains cooperative behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. Current behaviour is analysed using a survey (313 useful responses) and an analysis of large dataset (2.1 million charging sessions) on the use of public charging infrastructure in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In such a way it identifies the potential, drivers and possible obstacles that electric vehicle drivers experience when cooperating with other drivers to optimally make use of existing infrastructure. Results show that the intention to show direct reciprocal charging behaviour is high among the respondents, although this could be limited if the battery did not reach full or sufficient state-of-charge at the moment of the request. Intention to show direct reciprocal behaviour is mediated by kin and network effects.

未充分利用的充电站可能成为向电动汽车快速过渡的瓶颈。本研究首次研究公共充电站的合作行为，以此作为解决改善公共充电站使用的方法。它通过将公共充电站视为公共池资源并从进化的角度解释合作行为来做到这一点。使用荷兰阿姆斯特丹公共充电基础设施使用调查（313 条有用回复）和大型数据集（210 万次充电会话）分析当前行为。通过这种方式，它可以识别电动汽车驾驶员在与其他驾驶员合作以最佳利用现有基础设施时遇到的潜力、驾驶员和可能遇到的障碍。结果表明，受访者表现出直接相互充电行为的意愿很高，尽管如果电池在请求时未达到充满或充足的充电状态，这种意愿可能会受到限制。显示直接互惠行为的意图是由亲属和网络效应介导的。
