Modeling the charging and route choice behavior of BEV drivers
TL;DR: In this article, two multinomial logit based and two nested logit-based models are proposed to analyze BEV drivers' charging and route choice behaviors, and extract the differences between BEV and gasoline vehicle drivers' travel behavior, based on a stated preference survey.

Governing the electric vehicle transition – Near term interventions to support a green energy economy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two alternative scenarios of BEV uptake until 2030, one incremental growth scenario and one breakthrough scenario, based on a characterisation of barriers and drivers at landscape, regime and niche levels.

The adoption of sustainable innovations: The role of instrumental, environmental, and symbolic attributes for earlier and later adopters
TL;DR: In this article, a large questionnaire study revealed that potential earlier adopters of innovative cars evaluated the symbolic attributes of electric cars, but not the instrumental and environmental attributes, more favorably than later adopters.

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).
