I study battery electric vehicle (BEV) usage and ownership characteristics with fundamental implications for the electrification of passenger transportation. Using data covering the entire BEV population in New York, I quantify BEV mileage and electricity consumption and highlight the important role of vehicle utilization in contributing to real-world pollution damages and their spatial variation. I then study the factors influencing how much BEVs are driven with a focus on estimating the electricity price elasticity of BEV mileage. Understanding how drivers respond to these changes in operating costs may help align the social and private costs of BEV driving and illustrates how electric utilities may affect transportation outcomes in the future. I find a 10% increase in residential electricity prices reduces mileage by 1%, but responsiveness falls as public charging stations-where prices are often decoupled from electricity costs-become available.
我研究纯电动汽车（BEV）的使用情况和拥有特征，这些对客运电气化具有重要意义。利用涵盖纽约市所有纯电动汽车的数据，我对纯电动汽车的行驶里程和电力消耗进行了量化，并强调了车辆使用在造成实际污染损害及其空间变化方面的重要作用。然后，我研究了影响纯电动汽车行驶里程的因素，重点是估计纯电动汽车行驶里程的电价弹性。了解司机如何应对这些运营成本变化，可能有助于使纯电动汽车驾驶的社会成本和私人成本保持一致，并说明电力公司未来可能如何影响交通结果。我发现住宅电价上涨10%会使行驶里程减少1%，但随着公共充电站（其价格通常与电力成本脱钩）的出现，响应程度会下降。
