Charging Behaviors in Urban Centers: The Need for an Integrated EV Energy Ecosystem
The transition to electric mobility represents a systemic transformation that extends beyond vehicle technology to encompass distributed energy production and grid integration. This study examines EV adoption patterns and charging behaviors among GenZ and Millennials across Europe and Asia to understand consumer readiness for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) paradigms. Through survey-based research conducted by Mobius Lab in 2025, we analyzed responses from 5,650 urban residents born between 1980–2008 in five major countries (France, Germany, Great Britain, China, and India). Our findings suggest that sustainable urban electric mobility necessitates integrated energy ecosystems combining distributed self-production, V2G technology, and supportive policy frameworks. The research provides empirical evidence for policy choices moving toward decentralized urban energy systems where vehicles function as mobile energy storage units.
