Statistically, private users of vehicles in Germany re-charge their plug-in hybrid vehicle only on three out of four days. Company car users, on average, re-charge only every second day. Meanwhile, legal and financial barriers for installing home charging devices should be reduced. Fleet managers should limit the available budget for gasoline or diesel and instead offer employees the option to re-charge plug-in hybrid vehicles easily and at low cost.

However, the distance that a drone can travel and the duration it can stay in the air is limited by the availability of power and re-charging requirements. One option could see a ground support vehicle being used as a mobile charging station, where drones could hover over it and recharge, never having to leave the air. This would cut out humans having to reach these difficult to access places to re-charge them.
