“…Mau et al (2008) concluded that preference dynamics can also be caused by changes in the EV market share. Rasouli and Timmermans (2013) and Kim et al (2014) found that social influence (EV adoption rate in an individual's social network) also changes people's preference for EV, although the effect is minor. However, these studies only explored one factor separately and did not investigate the combined effect of several possible sources of dynamics.…”

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.

“…Thereby, it has to do more research on potential consumers and their behaviors for EVs spread adoption In addition [11]. Moreover, the results indicates that the perception of environmental protection and energy safety has a big influence on consumer's preference [10,11,14,15,17], which was in consistence with public policy support and environmental education driven from central and local government of China. Similarity with previous scholarly findings that the consumers also pursue lower operation cost with EVs [11,21,26], which is concluded by the inverse proportional to the preference, the higher the operation cost, the lower preference for EVs.…”

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.

“…Thus, it needs more research on potential users to evaluate their behaviors for EVs spread adoption [11]. Also, the results show the awareness of environmental and national energy security has a significant influence on consumer's preference [10,11,14,15,17]. It verifies the public policy driven and environmental knowledge education from the central and local government of China.…”
