“…Although the Macau government offers tax incentives for purchasing light environmentally friendly vehicles, these tax incentives also cover hybrid electric vehicles. Like many Western countries, the Macau government's subsidies are not currently aligned with the goal of decreasing gasoline consumption in a consistent and efficient manner [95]. Thus, the Macau government should do more to promote full electric vehicles.…”

Factors Influencing the Behavioural Intention towards Full Electric Vehicles: An Empirical Study in Macau

This study examines the factors that influence individual intentions towards the adoption of full electric vehicles. A sample including 308 respondents was collected on the streets of Macau. The collected data were analysed by confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The results demonstrate that environmental concerns and the perception of environmental policy are antecedent factors of the perception of full electric vehicles, which influences the behavioural intention to purchase full electric vehicles. This study also finds that the perception of economic benefit is one of the key factors influencing the adoption of full electric vehicles. Vehicle operators seek economic benefits from future long-term fuel savings, high energy efficiency, and cheap electricity. Thus, a government striving to promote low-carbon transportation needs to scale up its efforts to enhance citizens' environmental concerns and to establish proper environmental policy as well as to provide long-term financial and strategic support for electric vehicles.

“…In fact, it has already been shown that EVSE investments are less cost-effective than increased PHEV and EV driving range, viewed in the context of reduced petroleum consumption [56]. Therefore, policy makers need to consider allocating resources more to R&D to increase battery performance for driving range extension.…”

Abstract:This study aims to determine the influential factors on the market share of electric vehicles through panel data analysis based on time series data from 2011 to 2015 in 31 countries. We selected five significant independent variables that are expected to affect electric vehicle adoption based on literature review. The econometric model in this study suggests that the relative price of electric vehicle compared to internal combustion engine vehicle, driving range, and number of models available in markets are correlated to the market share of electric vehicles. On the other hand, relationship between recharging infrastructure-an important factor for electric vehicle adoption in many studies-and market share of electric vehicles turned out to be insignificant in this study. From a political point of view, we argue that policy makers need to allocate more resources to research and development in order to extend driving range at the early stage of electric vehicle deployment in the markets.

“…They argue that the best battery capacity choice for PHEVs depends on this charging frequency and PHEV economics depend largely on charging patterns of the driver. In a different paper, Peterson and Michalek (2013) study the cost-effectiveness of PHEV battery capacity and charging infrastructure investment for reducing US gasoline consumption. The authors conclude that increased PHEV battery capacity results in higher gasoline savings than charging infrastructure.…”

We investigate the travel costs of CVs, HEVs and PHEVs for long-distance trips. We analyze the impacts of battery, driver and road network characteristics on the costs. We provide critical managerial insights to shape the investment decisions about PHEVs. Drivers' stopping intolerance may hamper the cost and emission benefits of PHEVs. Negative effect of intolerance on cost may be overcome by battery capacity expansion. a r t i c l e i n f o b s t r a c tIn a road network with refueling and fast charging stations, the minimum-cost driving path of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) depends on factors such as location and availability of refueling/fast charging stations, capacity and cost of PHEV batteries, and driver tolerance towards extra mileage or additional stopping. In this paper, our focus is long-distance trips of PHEVs. We analyze the impacts of battery characteristics, often-overlooked driver preferences and road network features on PHEV travel costs for long-distance trips and compare the results with hybrid electric and conventional vehicles. We investigate the significance of these factors and derive critical managerial insights for shaping the future investment decisions about PHEVs and their infrastructure. In particular, our findings suggest that with a certain level of deployment of fast charging stations, well established cost and emission benefits of PHEVs for the short range trips can be extended to long distance. Drivers' stopping intolerance may hamper these benefits; however, increasing battery capacity may help overcome the adverse effects of this intolerance.
