ReachNow EV Driving Data From Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and New York, NY
Abstract
ReachNow provided Idaho National Laboratory (INL) with a dataset describing approximately 49,000 trips taken by customers and employees in approximately 100 BMW i3 EVs operating in ReachNow's free-floating car-sharing fleets in Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and New York, NY between May 2016 and February 2017. Data fields include vehicle rental period start and end timestamps, the location where vehicles were parked at the start and end of rental periods, and distance driven during rental periods. A field categorizing the user during each rental period is also included. This field makes it possible to identify when vehicles were rented by customers and when vehicles were driven by fleet management team employees to reposition, charge, or service the vehicles.
