Running on empty - Users’ charging behavior of electric vehicles versus traditional refueling
TL;DR: A large-scale questionnaire study with car drivers from Germany showed that the conditions for a refueling or charging decision only differ partially, and socio-demographic factors hardly play a role, socio-economy and vehicle utilization are the biggest predictors.

Effects of urban environmental policies on improving firm efficiency: Evidence from Chinese new energy vehicle firms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the dynamic effects of such policies and of financial support on the relationship between firm size and efficiency in the new energy vehicles (NEVs) industry, which is important to the government in controlling the environmental pollution associated with the urbanization process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy recapture through deceleration - regenerative braking in electric vehicles from a user perspective.
TL;DR: It is found that drivers quickly learn to use and accept a system, which is triggered via accelerator, and it appears reasonable to integrate options to customise or switch off the system.

Development of a multi-scale model for customer perceived value of electric vehicles
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors constructed a multi-scale model for the measurement of customer perceived value (CPV) based on surveys conducted at Shanghai, China, and applied the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method to evaluate the importance of every scale and depict the internal relations among different scales on the impact-relations map (IRM).

Investigating barriers for plug-in electric vehicle deployment in fleets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on operational barriers, rather than traditional technical or economical barriers, for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) adoption in commercial vehicle fleets and provide an in-depth understanding of the operational barriers that public or private enterprises face when introducing BEVs in their vehicle fleets.

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).
