“…Consequently, it is concluded by the analysis that consumers' attitude toward EVs is determined by perceptions of EVs [7,10,23], EVs advantages and full-charge range based on the regression equation [19], which support the hypotheses#2 and hypotheses #3. Furthermore, the perception item has maximum regression coefficient which indicates that it influences the consumers attitudes significantly [7,10].…”

China planned to promote the large scale adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the thirteenth five year plans, however, this target faces numerous obstacles. This paper was trying to analyze the main barriers to wide spread adoption of EVs through a survey in Shenzhen, which has the biggest EVs market share in China major cities. On the basis of previous scholarly findings, a new survey was conducted and 406 approved questionnaires were collected among 500 participants. Five hypotheses were established to examine the main barriers to wide spread adoption of EVs. The analysis conducted by statistical methods: two-way frequency contingency tables, chi-square test and factor analysis. The study observed that the perception of EVs advantages and recharging access remained the main barriers of EVs large scale penetration, in addition, the new finding was that financial incentives cancellation would not result in big drop of EVs adoption in future. The study proposed suggestions to car maker and government policy administrator upon the analysis and discussion.

“…However, considering EVs spread adoption, the uptake of EVs depends on more recharging access placement in community and working place rather than the public recharging station [11,27,28,40]. Second, the research showed that perception of EVs could be a significant barrier to EVs penetration [23,41]. Only consumers can get the EVs knowledge accurately and experience it regularly, the attitudes and willingness toward EVs will rising significantly.…”

“…All other coefficients are positive, and EVs advantages account for a higher percentage. It infers that when customers have enough opportunity to experience EVs, consumer's perceptions of EVs will rise significantly, and buying willingness rise simultaneously [23,24]. Further, considering EVs performance, if EVs advantages better than ICEVs, which also increase the consumers desires significantly.…”

“…Range anxiety 6 could be borne largely out of their ignorance of daily driving practices compared to an electric vehicle's 7 technical capabilities. At the same time, other studies found that after experiencing electric vehicles, 8 range anxiety continued to be a critical factor for drivers, in some cases increasing (Jensen et al, 2013), 9 (Krause et al, 2013). Thus, confusingly, range anxiety has been found to both decrease and increase 10 after an individual experiences driving of an electric vehicle.…”

Why Did Better Place Fail?: Range anxiety, interpretive flexibility, and electric vehicle promotion in Denmark and Israel

With almost $1 billion in funding, Better Place was poised to become one of the most 10 innovative companies in the electric mobility market. The system Better Place proposed had two novel 11 prongs; first, to reduce the cost of batteries, and second, to reduce range anxiety, public infrastructure 12 concerns, and long charging times. Yet, despite this seemingly strong combination, Better Place failed to 13 make any progress in Denmark and Israel, the first two markets it operated in, and subsequently 14 declared bankruptcy, selling off its collective assets for less than $500,000. Drawing from science and 15 technology studies and the notion of "interpretive flexibility," this paper posits several reasons to 16 explain the failure of Better Place, including that Denmark is not as "green" as it seems nor is the Israeli 17 market as attractive as believed, and that Better Place's solution to charging time and range anxiety 18 resolved a psychological, not a functional, barrier of the general public to adopt electric vehicles. Before 19 investigating these two reasons, the paper presents a short history of Better Place and explores the 20 contours of its operations in Denmark and Israel. It then discusses why Better Place "failed" across both 21 countries before concluding with implications for energy planning, policy, and analysis. 22 2
