A fleet‐trial with 795 battery electric vehicles (BEV) in 369 companies and public bodies has been conducted in the metropolitan region of Hamburg. For fleets, the low number of public charging infrastructure (either as a complement or a fallback option) is often seen as a major obstacle for the adoption of new procurement strategies. This chapter explores the extent to which this is true for commercial and public fleets in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region by investigating use patterns and preferences for charging infrastructure of BEV in and around Hamburg. It focuses on the preferences and opinions of users concerning sufficient recharging opportunities of the new technology on a day‐to‐day basis. The chapter closes with recommendations for the future planning of public charging infrastructure in transport policies. Half of the participating companies and public bodies only have access to their own private charging infrastructure.
