Barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles: An analysis of consumer attitudes and perceptions
Ona Egbue,Suzanna Long +1 more
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:

Perceptual and motivational reasons for the low adoption of electric cars in Denmark
John Thøgersen,Jonas V. Ebsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework was developed based on prior research and reasoned action theories (extended TPB and TAM), and a mixed-method approach consisting of in-depth interviews and a survey of a sample of Danish car owners with an oversampling of EC owners was employed.

Implications of delaying transport decarbonisation in the EU: A systems analysis using the PRIMES model
Pelopidas Siskos,Georgios Zazias,Apostolos Petropoulos,Stavroula Evangelopoulou,Pantelis Capros +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system analysis that aims to assess what would happen if the decarbonisation strategy fails to develop, as anticipated during the decade 2020-2030.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of the evidence on plug-in electric vehicle user experience
TL;DR: It is qualifiedly concluded that PEVs can play an effective role in the transition: they can meet users’ travel needs satisfactorily, thereby being 'acceptable' to them, and are used at least as intensively as conventionally-fuelled vehicles, implying effective substitution away from more energy-intensive vehicle mileage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric vehicle energy consumption prediction using stacked generalization: an ensemble learning approach
TL;DR: ESG is a weighted combination of multiple base regression models to one meta-regressor, which enhances the model prediction and decreases the model variance over a single regressor model, to predict the EVs’ energy consumption.

Overcoming barriers to developing and diffusing fuel-cell vehicles: Governance strategies and experiences in Japan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine governance measures used by government and industry in Japan to accelerate the development and diffusion of fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) and propose several policy suggestions to overcome these unresolved challenges.

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).
