Electric Vehicle Enquiry (EVE) Pilot

This dataset originates from the Electric Vehicle Enquiry (EVE) study, conducted by the Observatoire de la Transition Énergétique (OTE), focusing on their utilization (EVs). Specifically, it encompasses the inaugural dataset amassed within this study, detailing the usage metrics over a period of three years of a common French electric car (1 Renault Zoe) by a driver whose profile will be detailed.

Comprehensive in scope, this dataset comprises pivotal automotive metrics of use, including speed, motor torque, braking torque, and distance travelled. It further encompasses battery particulars, such as state of charge, state of health, overall battery temperature, voltage, current, and individual cell voltages across the 96 battery cell pairs. Additionally, it furnishes insights into the charging dynamics of the vehicle, delineating parameters like charging port power, voltage, current, and power delivered during charging sessions. In addition to these quantitative datasets, it also contains key information about the primary driver and the car such as the major uses of the car, the motivations for purchase, and number of other drivers of the car.

Remarkably, the data acquisition process employed a participatory research approach, leveraging accessible tools like a Bluetooth OBD-II dongle, an Android device, and the open-source application CanZE. This methodology underscores a cost-effective means of sourcing longitudinal personal vehicle data.

This dataset is the first set of data from the EVE study. It contains a lot of pertinent data for conducting driver behaviour and trip variability studies amongst others. This data looks promising for the domains of transport planning and energy system management.
