“…The results are not only related to the statistical fit of the model but might generate some preliminary policy implications. Usually, one of the topics in the car choice literature is the identification of which car alternative is the most preferred (see the work for the Italian car market done by Valeri and Danielis (2015) using the same database we used in this research). Considering the intensive rate of car use, the high number of cars owned by the Italian families, and the important role that the automotive sector has in Italy, we investigated if car use and expertise play a role in the process of buying a new car, with special attention to the AFVs.…”

“…A total of four trained interviewers randomly administered 121 interviews in the first semester of 2013. 1 An example of a SP task and further details of the survey are reported by Valeri and Danielis (2015). The SP includes five attributes that describe car alternatives: purchase price, expressed in Euros (€); annual operating cost (gasoline, insurance, tax, maintenance), expressed in Euros (€); acceleration, expressed in seconds needed to go from 0 to 100 km/h; range expressed in kilometres (km); and refueling distance, expressed as the distance required to get the closest refueling or recharging station (km).…”

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.

“…Rasouli and Timmermans (2013) found that heterogeneity is particularly high when the price of EV is much higher than CV. Several studies discovered an income effect, namely that people with high incomes are less pricesensitive than others (Achtnicht et al, 2012;Hackbarth & Madlener, 2013;Hess et al, 2012;Mabit & Fosgerau, 2011;Molin et al, 2012;Potoglou & Kanaroglou, 2007;Valeri & Danielis, 2015), while Jensen et al (2013) found this effect to be insignificant. Preferred car size also plays a role in price sensitivity: Jensen et al (2013) concluded that buyers of smaller cars have a higher marginal utility of price.…”

“…Again, people with higher incomes place lower importance on fuel cost (Helveston et al, 2015;Valeri & Danielis, 2015). However, Chinese respondents with higher income (2013) are more sensitive to high fuel costs (Helveston et al, 2015).…”

Consumer preferences for electric vehicles: a literature review

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) may contribute to the alleviation of problems such as environmental pollution, global warming and oil dependency. However, the current market penetration of EV is relatively low in spite of many governments implementing strong promotion policies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of studies on consumer preferences for EV, aiming to better inform policy-makers and give direction to further research. First, we compare the economic and psychological approach towards this topic, followed by a conceptual framework of EV preferences which is then implemented to organise our review. We also briefly review the modelling techniques applied in the selected studies. Estimates of consumer preferences for financial, technical, infrastructure and policy attributes are then reviewed. A categorisation of influential factors for consumer preferences into groups such as socioeconomic variables, psychological factors, mobility condition, social influence, etc. is then made and their effects are elaborated. Finally, we discuss a research agenda to improve EV consumer preference studies and give recommendations for further research.

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.
