“…These aspects cover expressed concerns regarding the environmental consequences of car use, interest in automotive technology and the perceived importance placed on car ownership which past research has indicated represent salient issues in consumer evaluations of clean fueled vehicles (Sangkapichai and Saphores, 2009;Ozaki and Sevastyanova, 2011;Krupa et al 2014;Plötz et al 2014). The inclusion of these issues allows the analysis to simultaneously consider the views which consumer groups hold towards EVs specifically and cars in general.…”

Data has been sourced through the application of a self-completion household questionnaire distributed over two cities in the United Kingdom (UK). A two stage cluster analysis methodology has been followed to identify market segments in a dataset of UK drivers. Five unique segments have been identified in the analysis and are characterised by their preferences for EVs, socio-economic characteristics, current car details, and socio-psychological profiles. These segments hold a range of different EV preference levels, from those who appear unwilling to adopt an EV to those which are clearly attracted to EVs. Moreover, the features of these segments tend to suggest that segments might be attracted to or repelled from EVs for different reasons. These results demonstrate that a significant degree of consumer stratification is present in the emerging market for EVs, with the possible implications being that policy interventions at the market, as opposed to segment, level may prove ineffective due to their inability to cater for the nuances of important segments.

China planned to promote the large-scale adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the thirteenth five-year plan, however, this target faces many obstacles. This paper was trying to analyze the main barriers to widespread adoption of EVs through a survey in Shenzhen, which has the biggest EVs market share in China major cities. Based on previous scholarly findings, this paper conducted a new study which collected 406 approved questionnaires among 500 participants. The study proposed five hypotheses to examine the main barriers to widespread adoption of EVs. The analysis conducted by statistical methods: two-way frequency tables, chi-square test, and factor analysis. The results noted that perception of EVs advantages and recharging access remained the main barriers to EVs large-scale penetration. Besides, financial incentives drop would not cause a significant decline of EVs adoption in future. The study proposed suggestions to carmaker and government policy administrator on the analysis and discussion.

The overarching objective of this study is to understand factors that influence the customer attitude and eventually purchase intention towards electrical vehicles (EVs). Market survey was done in major cities of 3 states of India to examine the customer attitude and purchase intention towards (EVs). The collected data was analyzed by using partial least squares‐structural equation modeling techniques. It has been found that the factors like overall customer value (performance and cost), awareness and sensitivities towards the climate change, and perceived benefits are the major factors that influence the attitude and subsequently the adoption of EVs by millennials. The factors like perceived price and social acceptance are relatively less significant in terms of their influence on the attitude and purchase intention towards EVs. Hence, it has been concluded that the environmental concern, performance features, infrastructure facility positively influence the attitude and purchase intention towards EVs. This study essentially underscores the importance and role of coordinated impact of performance, features, and infrastructure and climate change sensitivities in influencing and enhancing the adoption of EVs in India, in the context of current market scenario. Hence, this study contributes by providing actionable insights to manufactures and government for developing and communicating pragmatic value proposition to promote EVs. This study brings fresh perspectives on creating positive attitude and purchase intention towards the EVs by providing a model that could be leveraged for devising a long term and sustainable strategy.
