The introduction of electric vehicles has been placed as a countermeasure against global warming in the transportation sector, but there has been little consideration of the potential for electrification based on the operating conditions of vehicles for business pur-poses. This study shows the electrification potential of vehicles used in business and logistics and the nature of the charging infra-structure by simulating the movements of individual agents with the information obtained from the data on the origin and destina-tion of the 2005 National Survey of Roads and Streets Traffic Conditions (Traffic Census). The results show that most of all com-mercial passenger cars are able to be electrified. On the other hand, freight vehicles traveling a limited distance can only be electri-fied, even if the conditions are met that they can be charged with Origin and Destination. As electric vehicles become widespread, they will create a significant impact of demand for electricity if the timing of charging is not controlled. It is desirable to be able to charge at Destination as well, because not only provide peace of mind for drivers, but will also help to spread the load on the power system and make it easier to use renewable energy.
