Cover Story: This comparative study aims to investigate to which extent electric vehicles are already being used like conventional vehicles. To do this, we present a supervised method where we combine usage data from conventional vehicles and electric vehicles in Germany and California. Based on conventional vehicles, eight car usage profiles were defined via hierarchical clustering in a previous study. Using a SoftMax regression, we estimate for each electric vehicle a probability of assignment for every car usage profile. Comparison of conventional and electric vehicles with a high probability reveals that electric vehicles are used similarly for long-distance travel (>100 km) and differently for short-distance travel (<10 km) to conventional vehicles.
