Barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles: An analysis of consumer attitudes and perceptions

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of financial incentives and other socio-economic factors on electric vehicle adoption

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between financial incentives, charging infrastructure, and local presence of production facilities to determine the relationship of one such policy instrument (consumer financial incentives) to electric vehicle adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of the Impact of Vehicle-to-Grid Technologies on Distribution Systems and Utility Interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current status and implementation impact of V2G/grid-to-vehicle (G2V) technologies on distributed systems, requirements, benefits, challenges, and strategies for VUE interfaces of both individual vehicles and fleets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in consumer electric vehicle adoption research: A review and research agenda

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive overview of the drivers for and barriers against consumer adoption of plug-in EVs, as well as an overview of theoretical perspectives that have been utilized for understanding consumer intentions and adoption behavior towards EVs, identifying gaps and limitations in existing research and suggest areas in which future research would be able to contribute.

State of the Union

TL;DR: The United Kingdom as a Union State without unionism was discussed in this article, where the authors presented a model of a union state without unions in an asymmetric union, where the United Kingdom is represented by a union of Westminster and Edinburgh parliaments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy conservation investment Do consumers discount the future correctly

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the apparently high discount rates attributed to investors making energy conservation investments are not irrational or the result of some market failure, rather they may result from an investor recognizing that many conservation investments entail substantial sunk costs.

Power Loss: The Origins of Deregulation and Restructuring in the American Electric Utility System

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the successful campaign waged by utility managers in the first decade of the twentieth century to protect their industry from competition and explain why the once staid and monopolistic electric utility industry entered an era of freewheeling competition and deregulation, allowing American consumers to buy electricity from any company offering it.
