However, the market is still at an early stage, and the deployment of BETs is subject to a multitude of uncertainties and challenges. In order to shed light on the first practical experiences with BET, this study analyses real-world data from nineteen BETs of case study partners, operating in regional delivery transport in Germany in 2023 and 2024. The main focus of this work lies in the analysis of vehicle energy consumption and activity patterns. The results show that exterior temperature, vehicle weight, and driving uphill or downhill clearly influence the total energy consumption of BETs. The average consumption is 0.96 kWh/km. Activity patterns indicate different usage between one-shift and two-shift operations, including intermediate daytime charging and extended night-time charging.
