Evaluating Electric Vehicle Policy Effectiveness and Equity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the academic literature on the economics of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), with a focus on PEV policy, benefits, and equity, and suggest that consumer PEV subsidies are not cost-effective and are often expensive relative to estimated environmental benefits.

Inaccuracy versus volatility – Which is the lesser evil in battery electric vehicles?
TL;DR: It was found that displaying accurate but volatilerange information results in higher perception of range stress and a lower feeling of trust in comparison to the provision of less accurate but less volatile range information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of countries' socioeconomic characteristics on the adoption of electric vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper , a predictive model based on nonlinear regression and asymmetrical S-curves was developed to evaluate the evolution of electric vehicle adoption in different countries, which can help in decision-making regarding public policies and infrastructure to support electromobility.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Giving Green to Get Green: Incentives and Consumer Adoption of Hybrid Vehicle Technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative efficacy of state sales tax waivers, income tax credits and non-tax incentives for hybrid-electric vehicle adoption in the United States has been studied and shown that the type of tax incentive offered is as important as the value of the tax incentive.

Electric vehicles: How much range is required for a day’s driving?
TL;DR: In this article, a full year of high-resolution driving data from 484 instrumented gasoline vehicles in the US is used to analyze daily driving patterns, and from those infer the range requirements of electric vehicles (EVs).
