Effects of providing total cost of ownership information on consumers’ intent to purchase a hybrid or plug-in electric vehicle
Jerome Dumortier,Saba Siddiki,Sanya Carley,Joshua Cisney,Rachel M. Krause,Bradley W. Lane,John A. Rupp,John D. Graham +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how providing information on five-year fuel cost savings and total cost of ownership affects the stated preferences of consumers to purchase a gasoline, conventional hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or battery electric vehicle.

Changing minds about electric cars: An empirically grounded agent-based modeling approach
TL;DR: An empirically grounded, spatially explicit, agent-based model, InnoMind (Innovation diffusion driven by changing Minds), is introduced to simulate the effects of policy interventions and social influence on consumers' transport mode preferences and suggests that introducing an exclusive zone for EVs in the city would accelerate the early-phase diffusion more effectively than financial incentives only.

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.

Beyond batteries: an examination of the benefits and barriers to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) transition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore both the promise and the possible pitfalls of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, focusing first on its definition and then on its technical state-of-the-art.

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).
