“…Finally, although previous studies have found that EC functional attributes influence young consumers’ EC adoption, previous studies have failed to recommend which attributes are more relevant to promoting their EC adoption (Nosi et al , 2017; Sahoo et al , 2022). This study suggests that marketers need to carefully highlight the attributes that are more relevant to attaining Millennials and Gen Z consumers’ motives as it promotes EC adoption.…”

Purpose Electric cars (EC) adoption represents a strategic action aimed at promoting environmental sustainability. Although Millennials and Gen Z represent the greatest potential market for EC, their adoption remains low; thus, this study focused on examining the role of motive in predicting EC adoption intention within these two generations’ population. Built upon the fundamental motive framework, this research explores the motives that lead to EC adoption intention. Subsequently, this study aims to examine the role of performance expectancy as the mediating variable and EC attributes beliefs as the moderating variable that can promote EC adoption intention. Design/methodology/approach Both exploratory and confirmatory methods were used in this investigation. Using an exploratory approach, this research explores the fundamental motives and the attributes of EC that influence EC adoption intention. Using a confirmatory approach, this research tests the mediating role of performance expectancy. To collect the data, an online survey was administered to 260 young consumers in Indonesia. Findings The results of PLS-SEM analysis from the data revealed that self-protection, kin-care, status and affiliative motives influence EC adoption. Furthermore, performance expectancy mediates the relationship between self-protection, mate acquisition, affiliative motives and EC adoption intention. Among EC attributes, the short-haul performance strengthens the indirect relationship between affiliative motive and EC adoption intention. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this study is that it only focuses on the practical attributes of EC, whereas psychological attributes that were found to be more influential in consumer’s purchase decisions were not examined. Practical implications Marketers need to explore EC attributes that can strengthen the relationship between consumers’ motives and EC adoption intention by increasing consumers’ evaluation of performance expectancy. In this study, marketers can promote short-haul performance, as it will lead to EC adoption for consumers with affiliative motives. Originality/value This study ties together two lines of research on the adoption of EC, exploring EC attributes and examining consumers’ motivation to choose EC, especially Millennials and Gen Z. In this way, EC attributes facilitate the fulfillment of consumers’ needs and promote EC adoption intention.

“…Studies have been conducted to identify different barriers to, and facilitators of EV adoption in different country-specific context such as Poland (Lewicki & Drozdz, 2021), Belgium (Afroz et al,2015), China (Junquera et al, 2016), Malaysia (Wang et al, 2018), India (Khurana, 2019;Munshi et al, 2022;Sahoo et al, 2022). Earlier, pro-environmental behaviour was examined using socio-economic factors.…”

“…Although the current price of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) remains higher than the equivalent internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), declining battery costs and other advances indicate that PEVs are approaching price parity with ICEVs [4,5]. In addition to socioeconomic factors [6][7][8], government policies and incentives also play a role in shaping adoption intentions [9][10][11][12][13][14]. As of 2021, there were only 97 private and state-owned charging stations in Indonesia, but this number is expected to increase over time.…”

The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) has been considered the de-facto standard for communication between charge points and the central management system of the charge points. This paper presents a novel messages testing tool based on OCPP 1.6 to evaluate the conformance of the central system to the field category definitions specified by OCPP. The authors propose the test method, discuss the test case scenarios (positive and negative) used by the messages testing tool, and describe how to set up a test case to examine the system under test. Additionally, this study highlights the difference between the messages testing tool and the OCPP 1.6 Compliance Testing Tool (OCTT) provided by the Open Charge Alliance (OCA). To test its reliability, the message testing tool has been applied to an open-source central system platform. The result shows that the system under test is able to pass 100% of the positive test case scenarios, but only 33% of the negative test case scenarios. It is worth noting that similar results may occur in other central system platforms as well. The study's findings underscore the significance of using comprehensive messages testing tools during the development and release of central system platforms. This ensures conformance to the OCPP field category definitions and promotes reliable interoperability between charge points and central management systems.
