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

Energy Efficiency Policy and Market Failures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the empirical basis for skepticism about the effectiveness of the market mechanism in yielding cost-effective energy efficiency improvements, and present a series of examples that provide evidence for market failures related to energy efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
How high are option values in energy-efficiency investments?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the uncertainty and irreversibility attendant to such investments, and the resulting option value, account for the anomalously high implicit discounting in consumers' energy-efficiency investments.

The Allure of Technology: How France and California Promoted Electric Vehicles to Reduce Urban Air Pollution
David Calef,Robert Goble +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the policies of California and France in terms of the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and show that the former's stringent regulation spurred development of innovative hybrid and fuel cell vehicles more effectively than the latter's non-adversarial approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Power of 5 Percent
TL;DR: Even a 5 percent drop in peak demand can yield substantial savings in generation, transmission, and distribution costs, enough to eliminate the need for installing and running some 625 infrequently used peaking power plants and associated power delivery infrastructure.
