“…Although NEVs feature the low cost of usage, easy-to-use and the conveniences of maintenance [46], the issues regarding cruise distance and security are obvious drawbacks, which have still perplexed NEV users and makers [3]. Once consumers perceive high risks in relation to the performance aspects of new products, it is most likely to deter their adopting NEVs [47].…”

“…It is closely related with the number and scale of NEV's charging facilities such as public charging stations and private charging piles [5]. The availability of charging infrastructure influences the driving experience of NEVs [46]. It is highlighted that lacking the supportive infrastructure would hinder the potential consumers to purchase NEVs to some extent [26].…”

Consumers’ Purchase Intention of New Energy Vehicles: Do Product-Life-Cycle Policy Portfolios Matter?

New energy vehicles have been recognized as a sustainable alternative to lower gasoline consumption and emissions in the transportation sector. To alleviate environmental pressure, a spectrum of government policies has been introduced to inspire the production and penetration of new energy vehicles (NEVs). Meanwhile, some of the incentive policies are facing renewals and modifications to meet consumers’ demand of purchase and the present growth of the NEV industry. This means that the understanding of what the current and upcoming policies are, how to formulate policy portfolios, and consumers’ purchasing NEV behavior in a response to these policies and its adjustment are of practical and academic importance for the NEV sector. Different from prior research which analyzed the role of government policy as a whole, we here separately examined the impact of policy portfolios (i.e., production policy, purchase/usage policy and recycle policy) on NEV adoption from the product life cycle perspective. The hypotheses were empirically tested by analyzing data collected from 299 respondents in China. The results showed that production policy has a significantly positive impact on financial benefits, esteem needs and infrastructure, whereas it insignificantly influences NEV performance; similarly, purchase/usage policy positively affects esteem needs and infrastructure, yet its effect on financial benefits is found to be insignificant; meanwhile, recycle policy has a significantly positive effect on financial benefits, and esteem needs as well as NEV performance. Furthermore, financial benefits, esteem needs, NEV performance and infrastructure are found to significantly and positively impact on consumers’ purchase intention. Parallel to this, we observed perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use play partially mediating relations between policy portfolios and consumers’ adoption intent. Hints for decision-makers and avenues for future study are discussed in this research.

“…For the effectiveness of the safety supervision and management by the government, it is found that the incidence of accidents associated with online hailed cars is obviously related to the perfection of the safety supervision and management system. Strengthening the supervision and management through policies or rules is an important guarantee for the safe operation of the online car-hailing service [17]- [20]. Based on the analysis of the technical means to realize the safety operation [21]- [24], the establishment of a better sharing system is regarded as the key to solve the problem of the safety operation of online car-hailing service and an effective strategy to ensure the safety supervision [25]- [28].…”

Car-hailing safety supervision is of great significance to ease the pressure on urban public transportation and facilitate people to travel safely and conveniently. In this paper, a novel tripartite evolutionary game theory is proposed to describe the interaction mechanism of the government supervision department, online vehicle platform security monitoring department, and car sharing owner in the process of China's Internet ride-hailing operation. The replication dynamics equations are used to elaborate the evolutionary stable strategies of stakeholders and system dynamics are presented to explore the dynamic simulation process of the evolutionary game model, analyze the stability of stakeholder interactions and determines an equilibrium solution. The meaningful simulation results are as follows: there is no stable strategy for the evolution of the three-party selection strategy; the optimized dynamic penalty incentive control scenario can not only effectively suppress fluctuations, but also achieve the effect of obtaining an ideal evolutionary stable strategy. It shows that the cost of government supervision, the platform monitoring and the online hailed car owner can influence the strategy choice of the stakeholders; the government should impose appropriate fines and penalty on the platform and reward car owners, which will help all parties to the game reach a stable state; appropriate punishment-reward factors help the system to reach steady state more easily. These results can provide a theoretical guidance for the government to promote the development of online car-hailing service and establishment of the supervision and management system. INDEX TERMS Online car-hailing, safety supervision and monitoring, evolutionary game theory, dynamic penalty incentive control scenario, government intervention.

“…Rabbitt and Ghosh [44] assessed the economic and environmental influence of CS in Ireland and the results showed that CS could benefit both the individual in terms of travel cost savings, and society in terms of CO 2 emissions reduction. Schlüter and Weyer [45] adopted the technology acceptance model to evaluate the impact of CS on EV acceptance. Nijland and van Meerkerk [7] assessed the impact of CS on car ownership, car use, and the possible benefits on CO 2 emissions.…”

The combination of car-sharing and electric vehicles can increase the acceptance of electric vehicles and facilitate car-sharing to be a more sustainable means of transport. However, this also poses more challenges for the good planning of electric car-sharing systems. To assist car-sharing companies in improving the planning decisions, this paper developed an evaluation framework from a comprehensive view. In the first step, four evaluation criteria were identified according to the planning process: construction of stations; routine inspection; vehicle usability and relocation management; and the maintenance and replacement of stations. Then, a combinatorial method based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), cost-benefit analysis (CBA), and Voronoi diagram (VD) is developed to determine the relative weight of the four criteria and evaluate the alternative. Finally, the evaluation framework was applied in a realistic case of EVCARD, which is the most influential electric car-sharing company in China. The performance of two different operational districts of EVCARD—Jingan and Changning—were compared. The results showed that vehicle usability and relocation management is the greatest criterion influencing the planning performance of the electric car-sharing system in China, and that routine inspection is a negligible but important factor. According to the relative scores, Jiagan District performed better than Changning district.
