Brian Fowler was awarded a certificate of excellence at the 8th International Conference on Energy Economics and Energy Policy (ICEEEP) held in Lille, France, for his insightful presentation on electric vehicle (EV) charging preferences. Utilizing discrete choice experiments, his research probes into consumer preferences for various EV charging features.
The certificate highlights Fowler's significant contributions to understanding the factors that influence the adoption of flexible EV chargers. His findings are especially pertinent as Belgium, among other European nations, advances towards electric mobility.
In his presentation, Fowler detailed how different charging technologies—such as smart charging and solar charging—might influence consumer decisions regarding EV adoption. The study evaluates consumer willingness to invest in these technologies, considering the perceived benefits and costs.
