The Netherlands is a frontrunner in the field of public charging infrastructure, having one\nof the highest number of public charging stations per electric vehicle (EV) in the world. During the\nearly years of adoption (2012-2015), a large percentage of the EV fleet were plugin hybrid electric\nvehicles (PHEV) due to the subsidy scheme at that time. With an increasing number of full electric\nvehicles (FEVs) on the market and a current subsidy scheme for FEVs only, a transition of the EV fleet\nfrom PHEV to FEV is expected. This is hypothesized to have an effect on the charging behavior of the\ncomplete fleet, and is reason to understand better how PHEVs and FEVs differ in charging behavior\nand how this impacts charging infrastructure usage. In this paper, the effects of the transition of\nPHEV to FEV is simulated by extending an existing agent-based model. Results show important\neffects of this transition on charging infrastructure performance.
