摘要

Increasing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution have motivated the search for sustainable transportation alternatives. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a promising solution, yet their potential to replace internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) in high-utilization ridesharing fleets remains insufficiently understood. This study analyzes data from a major ridesharing platform in Beijing, comparing EVs and ICEVs across car-sharing and private car-hailing modes. We find that at the driver level, EVs and ICEVs demonstrate comparable order completion in car-sharing, while EVs exhibit significantly lower daily mileage. Order-level regression analysis reveals that EVs, in private ride-sharing, exhibit a higher propensity to complete long-distance orders. We also find that mainstream 2015 EVs could cover the majority of daily ICEV travel patterns, with higher substitutability in car-sharing. These findings provide a benchmark for evaluating progress in the ongoing electrification of shared mobility.
