TLDR
In this paper, the authors identify potential socio-technical barriers to consumer adoption of EVs and determine if sustainability issues influence consumer decision to purchase an EV, and provide valuable insights into preferences and perceptions of technology enthusiasts; individuals highly connected to technology development and better equipped to sort out the many differences between EVs and CVs.About:

Adoption of PHEV/EV in Malaysia: A critical review on predicting consumer behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a conceptual framework for the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)/electric vehicles (EVs) by amending environmental concerns towards PHEVs/EVs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal charging facility location and capacity for electric vehicles considering route choice and charging time equilibrium
TL;DR: A bi-level mathematical model is proposed to derive optimal design considering the equilibrium of route choice and waiting time for charging for electric vehicles to minimize the joint cost of facility constructions and EV drivers’ travel and waited time over the network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Multi-Unit Residential Buildings: Mapping feedbacks and policy recommendations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the challenges and decision-making processes involved in the installation of EV charging infrastructure in multi-unit residential buildings in British Columbia from the perspective of different stakeholders.
Journal ArticleDOI
A market modeling review study on predicting Malaysian consumer behavior towards widespread adoption of PHEV/EV
TL;DR: This review is based on improving how the “attitude-action” gap is understood as it is an important element for further studies on PHEVs and examines how to modify the consumer’s environmental concerns in acquiring PH EVs.

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.

Car use: lust and must. Instrumental, symbolic and affective motives for car use
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results of two questionnaire studies aimed at examining various motives for car use, and investigate individual differences in the relative importance of the three categories of motives were investigated.

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).
