Deliberating the social acceptability of energy storage in the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present qualitative findings from four deliberative workshops held with members of the British public and find that people underestimate the challenge of growing volumes of inflexible low-carbon electricity generation, and respond to storage technologies through reference to commonly perceived risks and benefits.

Wenjian Jia,T. Donna Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an individual-level vehicle fuel type choice model is developed based on a 2018 stated preference survey of 837 Virginia drivers and a county-level EV ownership model was developed using Department of Motor Vehicles’ 2012-2016 vehicle registration data.

An exploratory empirical analysis of willingness to pay for and use flying cars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the level of anticipated acceptance from the traveling population of flying cars in travel demand literature and found that various individual-specific socio-demographic, behavioral and driving attributes, as well as individuals' attitudinal perspectives towards the cost, safety, security and environmental implications of the flying cars, affect their willingness to adopt this emerging transportation technology.

On the ease of being green: An investigation of the inconvenience of electric vehicle charging
TL;DR: It was found that if drivers are compliant with the UK Highway Code in taking regular breaks on long journeys, fewer than 0.01% of trips are expected to be delayed by charging when using battery capacities of 40–60 kWh.

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.

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).
