“…With regard to the performance (range and charging time) of an EV, consumers in general are not satisfied (Chen et al, 2020;Kester et al, 2018). However, EVs have the potential to perform better than ICVs, so this advantage can compensate for more unfavorable factors such as limited range, long charging time and high price (Skippon, 2014).…”

Electric vehicles stand out for their ability to reduce pollution. However, electric vehicle sales have not been brisk despite their positive effects. The objective of this study is twofold: first, to determine the variables that predict the purchase of an electric vehicle from the implementation of an algorithm based on computational intelligence; second, to contrast these results with two panels of experts in consumer behavior and the automobile sector. An empirical study was carried out with 404 potential consumers in Spain with regard to their beliefs, attitudes and purchase intention. The results show that range, incentives and reliability are the most reliable predictors of purchase intention. Likewise, the experts posit that the selection of these three variables would be sufficient to know the purchase intention of potential buyers of electric vehicles. In addition, it provides useful information for policy makers and private companies for decision making in the electric vehicle marketing process.

“…Meanwhile, more specific policies should be tailored to different kinds of EVs, as the policy incentives for these two types of cars are different. Table 3 summarises the factors associated with EV adoption intention as these were documented in studies published over the last five years [31,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. These factors include vehicle price, vehicle usage, social networks, personal norms, environmental awareness, pro-technology attitudes, monetary incentives, consumer cognitive status, product perception, driving emotions, marketing, V2G capability, and socio-economic characteristics.…”

Accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles provides a rare historic opportunity for reducing the dependence on fossil fuel and decarbonising road networks in the field of transport. Many countries have introduced various policy packages on both national and local levels to encourage electric vehicle adoption, but their market shares remain low. For better understanding the reasons behind this evidence, exploring the determinants that influence consumers’ adoption intentions is significant. Previous literature reviews have made clear and elaborated syntheses of influential factors; however, a summary of how evidence can be translated into policy through these factors is lacking. In response, this paper synthesises the main policies of various countries, summarises the previous research results, and forms corresponding policy tools, which can provide a reference to policymakers and guide the policy-making process.

“…Consumers' expectation of environmental quality, environmentally friendly values and emphasis on energy efficiency all demonstrate consumers' environmental beliefs [56]. Results of Nordic (developed area) research show that environmental value has significant influence on consumers' adoption of EVs [24]. In recent years, China has been adhering an environmentally friendly developing policy, which echoes consumers' environmental beliefs.…”

The rapid development of automobile industry in China did improve people’s quality of life. However, it has also damaged the ecological environment. The emission of a large amount of automobiles is one of the serious air pollution sources. In recent years, the shortage of petrochemical energy, the rapid rise of harmful particles in the air (e.g., PM2.5 and PM10), and the increasing worse atmospheric environment are becoming obstacles to China’s sustainable development. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are recognized as an ideal alternative to conventional cars. This study aims to explore the factors that can promote consumers’ adoption of BEVs and to construct domains of these factors. Firstly, an open web questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were conducted to widely collect factors that promote consumers’ purchase of BEVs. Then, questionnaire survey and exploratory factor analysis were used to construct domains of promoting consumers’ purchasing willingness. A total of six factors that promote consumers’ adoption of BEVs were obtained. Finally, the research results can provide references for the Chinese government and the BEV manufacturers in the development and promotion of EVs.
