Abstract (arXiv)
With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), understanding user charging behavior has become critical for grid stability and transportation planning. This study investigates the behavioral heterogeneity of EV taxi drivers by analyzing the interaction between psychological traits and situational triggers within dynamic travel contexts. Leveraging large language models (LLMs) as a core simulation tool, a novel framework with statistical enhancement is developed to replicate and analyze the charging behaviors of taxi drivers. LLMs simulate personalized decision-making processes by leveraging natural language reasoning and role-playing capabilities, accounting for factors such as time sensitivity, price awareness, and range anxiety. Simulation results indicate that the framework reliably reproduces real-world charging behaviors across multiple urban environments. his fidelity arises from integrating statistical priors into the reasoning process, allowing the model to anchor its decisions in empirical behavioral patterns. Further analysis highlights the joint influence of environmental and psychological variables on charging decisions and reveals the heterogeneity of different user groups. The findings provide new insights into EV user behavior, offering a foundation for optimizing charging infrastructure, informing energy policy, and advancing the integration of EV behavioral models into smart transportation and energy management systems.
