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.

Emissions and Energy Efficiency Assessment of Baseload Wind Energy Systems
TL;DR: A model was developed to assess the technical and environmental performance of baseload wind energy systems using compressed air energy storage that achieves an effective primary energy efficiency of at least five times greater than the most efficient fossil combustion technology, with greenhouse gas emission rates less than 20% of the least emitting fossil technology currently available.

Choice of smallest car by multi-vehicle households and the demand for electric vehicles
Steven D. Beggs,N. Scott Cardell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model explaining the choice of smallest car by multi-vehicle households was estimated on data collected in the Baltimore area in the spring of 1977, with choice categories defined by distinguishing five size classes (including one “luxury” class) and four age categories.

The allure of technology: How France and California promoted electric and hybrid vehicles to reduce urban air pollution
David Calef,Robert Goble +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the role of public, the media, the academic community, and the interest groups affected by the regulation in California and France and argue that California's stringent regulation spurred the development of innovative hybrid and fuel cell vehicles more effectively than the French approach.
