SUMMARY:Understanding Emotional States and Charging Behaviors for Decision
  Making and Battery Preservation in Electric Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Matin Malaek, Mengmeng Zhu, and Karen Chen (North Carolina Sta
 te University)\n\nUnderstanding battery electric vehicle (BEV) charging be
 havior is essential for improving driver experience and battery life, and 
 reducing range anxiety. This study examined charging frequency, battery le
 vel, charging rate, and emotional states of BEV drivers over a two-week pe
 riod, identifying patterns in BEV charging decisions. Findings suggested t
 hat BEV drivers did not always charge their vehicles to full, likely due t
 o infrastructure limitations or battery life concerns. Range anxiety and h
 abitual behavior may influence charging decisions, as reflected in the pre
 ference to charge at moderate battery levels. While some drivers developed
  routines to mitigate stress over time, others remained concerned about th
 e long-term effects of charging habits on battery life and resale value. A
 dditionally, the impact of fast charging on battery health could shape use
 r behavior, with some drivers avoiding fast charging unless necessary. Thi
 s study demonstrates the feasibility of real-time behavioral data collecti
 on and identifies variables for future large-scale studies, informing huma
 n-centered strategies to balance convenience with battery longevity.\n\n
