Intentions to introduce electric vehicles in the commercial sector: A model based on the theory of planned behaviour

COPE-SMARTER – A decision support system for analysing the challenges, opportunities and policy initiatives: A case study of electric commercial vehicles market diffusion in Denmark

“…Comparing the results of this study with the results of Kaplan et al (2015) The observed activity pattern consisted of the average number of depot-based daily tours, the average daily tour duration and the number of pick-up/drop-off and rest stops per tour for a representative vehicle, the share of vehicle fleet that have a tour length from under 50 km to over 400 km in increments of 50 km, and the share of the vehicle fleet that has at least one 30-minute stop. The distribution of the activity pattern of the firms is provided in table 3.…”

“…The chosen challenges, opportunities and policy instruments derive from the results of the study of Kaplan et al (2015), who proposed a comprehensive framework for understanding the motivations and challenges to the introduction of ECVs based on a survey across fleet managers in Austria, Denmark and Germany. The challenges consist of technological, financial, physical, operational and psychological challenges to be alleviated.…”

“…Sierzchula (2014) found that American and Dutch organizations that adopted ECVs were interested in testing new technologies, receiving government grants, and improving the organization's public image. Kaplan et al (2015) established a linkage between ECVs' procurement intentions and the theory of planned behavior, namely positive attitudes and subjective norms towards ECVs, familiarity with ECVs and perceived operational ease.…”

Electric vehicles in Danish Municipalities: An Understanding of Motivations, Barriers, and the Future of Sustainable Mobility

“…There has been a considerable amount of literature, which has focused on the market penetration of EVs in private households. However, there has been limited research into the motivations and barriers of the introduction of EVs in the commercial and local government sector [12][13][14]. Haller et al (2007) [14] was one of the first research papers to explore the adoption of EVs in local government.…”
