The spatial distribution of hybrid electric vehicles in a sprawled mid-size Canadian city: Evidence from Windsor, Canada
Terence Dimatulac,Hanna Maoh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the determinants that led to the observed spatial distribution of this class of vehicles across the different census tracts within the Windsor Census metropolitan area (CMA), Ontario, Canada for the year 2010.

Electric, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, or conventional? Polish consumers’ preferences for electric vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the preferences of Polish consumers for three types of electric vehicles: battery, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and find that electric vehicles are significantly less preferred than conventional cars, even under a public programme that would enable slow-mode charging in places where respondents usually park.

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).
