van der Koogh, M.L. (author), Wolbertus, Rick (author), Heller, Renée (author)During the COVID-19—related lockdowns (2020–2022), mobility patterns and charging needs were substantially affected. Policies such as work from home, lockdowns, and curfews reduced traffic and commuting significantly. This global pandemic may have also substantially changed mobility patterns on the long term and therefore the need for electric...journal article 2023
