Abstract

With the support of local and central governments, various incentive policies for "green" cars have been established, and the number of electric vehicle users has been rapidly increasing in recent years. As a result, much attention is being given to establishing a user-centered charging infrastructure. A standard for the number of electric vehicle chargers to be supplied is being prepared based on building characteristics, but there is quite limited research on the appropriate ratio of slow and fast chargers based on the characteristics of each place. Therefore, this study derived an appropriate penetration ratio based on data about the distribution ratio of common slow chargers. These data were collected using a survey of actual electric vehicle users. Next, an analysis was done on how to categorize the needs of charging environments and to determine what criteria or characteristics to use for categorization. Based on the results of the survey analysis, three types of places were derived. Type-1 places require 10% of chargers to be slow chargers, Type-2 places require 40-60% of chargers to be slow chargers (i.e., around equal distribution of slow and fast chargers), and Type-3 places require more than 80% of chargers to be slow chargers. The required levels of slow chargers were classified by place type and by individual using latent class cluster analysis, which made it possible to categorize them into five clusters related to socioeconomic variables, vehicle characteristics, traffic, and charging behaviors. It was found that there was a high correlation between charging behavior, weekend travel behavior, gender, and income. The results and insights from this study could be used to establish charging infrastructure policies in the future and to prepare standards for supplying charging infrastructure according to changes in the electric vehicle market.

최근 정부의 적극적인 지원정책과 함께 전기차 이용자들이 급증하고 있으며, 이로 인해 이용자 중심의 충전인프라 구축에도 많은 관심을 쏟아지고 있다. 다양한 정책의 수립과 함께 건물 특성에 기반한 총량적인 전기차 충전기 보급대수 기준은 마련되고 있으나, 장소별 특성에 기반한 완속과 급속충전기 적정 보급 비율에 대한 연구는 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전기차 이용자들을 대상으로 진행한 설문조사를 통해 수집한 장소 유형별 공용 완속충전기 보급 비율 자료를 바탕으로 적정 보급비율을 도출하고, 개인별로 충전 환경 요구가 어떻게 차별적으로 유형화되고 이들이 어떠한 특성과 연관되는지 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 10% 이하의 완속 충전기가 필요한 유형, 40-60% 수준의 완속충전기가 필요하여 완속과 급속충전기의 균등 분배가 필요한 유형, 완속이 80% 이상 필요한 유형 등 총 세 가지 장소 유형을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 잠재계층 군집분석을 통해 개인별로 서로 다른 장소유형별 완속충전기 필요 수준을 분류한 결과 5개 군집으로 유형화할 수 있었으며, 이들은 사회경제적 변수, 차량의 특성, 통행 및 충전행태와 연관된 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 충전행태와 주말 통행행태 그리고 성별, 소득과의 연관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 향후 충전인프라 정책 수립 및 전기차 시장의 변화에 따른 충전인프라 보급 기준 마련에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
