Abstract The spread of electric vehicles can be a partial solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are a major challenge of modern industrial nations. However, the limited ranges and the fragmentary charging infrastructure are currently impediments to adoption. To develop a need-based fast-charging network users’ requirements on preferred charging locations have to be factored in. Therefore, the present study aimed at quantifying users’ preferences regarding the fast-charging infrastructure and identifying possible trade-offs by using conjoint-analysis. Both current and potential battery electric vehicle users were addressed through an online questionnaire (N = 283). It was revealed that the waiting time for an available charging station, the necessary detour and the charging costs are the most important attributes for the selection of charging locations, whereas possible on-site activities to bridge the charging time were less important. While the attributes’ importance was largely independent from trip length, participants’ BEV experience contributed significantly to found variance.
