“…The majority of these studies (e.g., Bunch, Bradley, Golob, Kitamura, & Occhiuzzo, 1993;Batley, Knight, & Toner, 2004;Horne, Jaccard, & Tiedemann, 2005;Potoglou & Kanaroglou, 2007;Mabit & Fosgerau, 2011;Achtnicht, 2012;Daziano & Bolduc, 2013;Hackbarth & Madlener, 2013) analyzed the effect of car features (such as purchase price, driving range, fuel costs) and charging location (Batley et al, 2004;Bockarjova, Rietveld, & Knockaert, 2013;Ito, Takeuchi, & Managi, 2013;Jensen, Cherchi, Mabit, & Ortuzar, 2014) on the AFV's demand. Some recent studies have also explored the role of individuals' attitudes, mainly toward environment sensitivity (Daziano & Chiew, 2012;Daziano & Bolduc, 2013;Jensen, Cherchi, & Mabit, 2013;Glerum, Stankovikj, Themans, & Bierlaire, 2013) but also toward car features (Mabit & Fosgerau 2011), in their propensity to buy AFVs.…”

Because of the recent improvements in the electrification process of cars, several types of alternative fuel vehicles are appearing in the car market. However, these new engine technologies are not easily penetrating the market around the world and the conventional ones are still the leaders. A vast literature has explored the reasons for such low market penetration, due mainly to car's features. Using a hybrid choice model approach, in this research we study if, and to which extent, habitual car use influences individual propensity to buy a specific type of engine technology. We found significant latent habitual effect on choices of type of car engine. This effect is important only for some of the car alternatives considered in the study. In particular, habitual car users prefer to buy a new car with liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas types of engine technology instead of a conventional one. The importance of taking into account this latent construct is demonstrated also with the results of the simulated elasticity measures. In fact, the exclusion of latent habitual effect significantly underestimates the elasticity of diesel and hybrid cars and overestimates the elasticity of liquefied petroleum gas car.

“…The section of the paper to come shows how such integration avoids some of the pitfalls of depending on each theory in isolation. Some studies note the heightened performance of EVs compared to their counterparts in terms of not only efficiency but acceleration or "smoothness" and "quietness" of ride (Ryghaug and Toftaker 2014;Tran et al 2013;Tran et al 2012;Daziano and Chiew 2012). Others have affirmed that EVs require minimal maintenance and generally less effort to own or operate (Mwasilu et al 2014;Neubauer et al 2012).…”

I expand and integrate a theory of mobility (Automobility) with one of science and technology (Actor Network Theory) and one about social acceptance and user adoption (UTAUT).I apply this integrative framework to the diffusion (and non-diffusion) of electric vehicles and the process of electric mobility. I begin by presenting my methods, namely semi-structured qualitative research interviews with social theorists. Then, I present the three theories deemed most relevant by respondents. Automobility holds that, on a cultural or social level, automobiles exist as part of a complex, one that involves hardware and infrastructure-a hybridity between drivers and machines-along with patterns of identity and attitudes about driving pleasure. Actor Network Theory (ANT) involves the concepts of network assemblage, translation, enrollment, and actants and lieutenants. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, or UTAUT, states that on an individual level, the adoption of new technologies will be predicated on interconnected factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and other facilitating conditions.Based largely on the original interview data supplemented with peer-reviewed studies, I propose a conceptual framework of user acceptance consisting of motile pleasure, sociality, sociotechnical commensurability, and habitual momentum. I conclude with implications for research and policy.

“…It is a trend particularly evident in the residential sector (Popescu et al, 2012), with buildings that reduce energy consumption by means of better insulation, passive solar heating, high efficiency lighting, and more. It is also evident in transportation with the diffusion of hybrid and purely electric road vehicles (Daziano and Chiew, 2012), as well as attempts to improve public transportation while reducing the distance traveled by both goods and people.…”
