“…Considering the interlinkages of energy and transportation, worldwide induction of EVs is important to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 2030 [1,35]. Previous studies [36][37][38] have been discussing various strategies to explore EV adoption in different countries. Rafique and Town [36] explored the potential of EV adoption in South Wales, Australia, where most of the innercity vehicle trips were less than 30 km.…”

“…A study from Portugal suggested increasing tax applied to fossil fuel consumption and conventional vehicle sales as an efficient solution to increase EVs' diffusion [37]. In Brazil, a SWOT analysis was conducted by Costa et al [38] to explore the stakeholders' perspectives regarding EV adoption. The study analyzed the opportunities and challenges to adopting the EVs and suggested the market diffusion of light-duty electric vehicles as a first option.…”

Public Intentions to Purchase Electric Vehicles in Pakistan

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to lead the transition in road transportation from traditional petroleum mobility to electric mobility. Despite many environmental benefits, the market penetration rate of EVs is still low in most developing countries. Recently, Pakistan formulated its first EV policy for 2020–2025 to accelerate EV adoption. This study aims to explore the factors, including environmental concerns, perceived ease of use, effort expectancy, social influence, and perceived facilitating conditions, affecting individuals’ behavioral intentions to purchase EVs in Pakistan. The hypotheses were developed based on the literature, and an online questionnaire survey was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan, to collect the relevant data. The partial least square path modeling approach of structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. The results confirmed that the environmental concerns, perceived ease of use, and effort expectancy positively affect the public’s intentions to use EVs in the future. However, social influence and facilitating conditions did not significantly contribute to EV adoption in the present study. The findings suggest that the EV manufacturers aiming to accelerate EV adoption should develop marketing strategies to disseminate information regarding the environmental benefits of EVs and enhance clarity about EVs’ performance and usage.

“…Whilst there is no academic consensus on the origins of the SWOT analysis [45], it has been present in management literature for at least half a century [42]. SWOT analysis has also been applied in EV studies, such as in the analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats inherent in EV in general [46], and the factors affecting the diffusion of EVs in Brazil [47].…”

A SWOT Analysis of the UK EV Battery Supply Chain

et al. 2020

The aim of this research is to identify and explore the UK electric vehicle (EV) battery industry’s supply chain strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) by taking a leading UK EV battery company as an exploratory case study. Our research addresses the gap in knowledge surrounding the UK EV battery supply chain, as the current literature is limited whilst demands for EVs are surging. There are significant opportunities awaiting the EV battery industry, though it is crucial that companies are aware of the threats facing them. To address the gap, this research followed an exploratory qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews with experienced interviewees in the industry. By applying the SWOT analysis framework and the theory lens of Resource Based View (RBV), we suggest that the UK EV battery industry should diversify its supply base into multiple regions such as India, Africa, and the US, which would reduce the reliance on sourcing from China whilst maintaining good supplier relationships and continuous innovation.

“…The motivation for this research is: Most of the work in the literature investigates the consumer adoption of EVs [28,29,31,[34][35][36], barriers in adoption of EVs [25,34,[37][38][39], and other issues related to EVs (carbon emission policies, fast charging infrastructure, perceived values, tax rebate policies, etc.) [23,27,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. However, the literature lacks studies about consumer motivation related to electric vehicles.…”

Consumer Motivation by Using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology towards Electric Vehicles

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The transport sector is the leading source of growing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. To consider environmental degradation aspects due to transport, electric vehicles (EVs) have the prospect to lead road transport to electric mobility from conventional petroleum vehicles. Despite various eco-friendly benefits, the EV market penetration ratio is very low, especially in developing countries. The primary reason for low penetration is consumer limited motivation and knowledge about the EVs features. This paper uses a unified theory of acceptance and technology (UTAUT) model to assess consumer motivation and environmental knowledge towards EVs. This research used convenience random sampling to collect data and analyzed the results using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method on the example of 199 respondents from Malaysia. The study results revealed that factors identified in the motivational context significantly influence consumer intentions to purchase EVs. Perceived environmental knowledge and technophilia have been included in UTAUT from a motivational perspective. Furthermore, a significant relationship between effort expectancy, social influence, technophilia, perceived environmental knowledge, and purchase intention towards electric vehicles has been observed, without performance expectancy. The study findings serve to inform policymakers and automakers to formulate effective marketing strategies to enhance consumer motivation, knowledge, and value creation for EVs in a sustainable era. Ultimately, the policies will help to encourage consumers to buy eco-friendly vehicles that will help reduce transport carbon emissions and attain sustainable development goals (SDGs).
