“…Despite the factors identified above, the discussion as to whether greener vehicles can effectively shape transportation means is far from being consensual. Qiao (2014) sheds light on this issue by studying policy options in China towards the adoption of new energy vehicles. The author concludes that policies implemented in China are not effective in triggering interest in new energy vehicles.…”

“…Our study is innovative because Portuguese policies aimed similar results although incorporating different mechanisms and under a diverse socio-economic and cultural context. Also, cultural aspects may well justify consumer options, and existent studies call for more research on the introduction of greener policies under different settings (Qiao, 2014).…”

“…The focus on financial incentives is relevant given the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of Portugal that are different from the context of other relevant studies (e.g. Sprei and Wickelgren, 2011;Schafer, 2011;Qiao, 2014). Also, we extend the theoretical framework of Ozaki and Sevastyanova (2011) of five factors by adding five other factors.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse to what extent financial incentives under the green tax reform introduced in Portugal in 2014 drive behaviours of acquiring a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Design/methodology/approach The existent literature identifies a number of factors that influence the interest for PHEV acquisition, including access to financial incentives. However, empirical evidence is not clear as to which factors are more relevant. The authors extend an existent theoretical model of five factors by including ten factors. On this basis, the study carries out a survey and develops a structural equation model to investigate what drives the interest to acquire a PHEV. Findings Financial incentives are superior to other factors in explaining the interest in acquiring a PHEV. Education, lower income levels, living in larger cities and driving smaller vehicles shape the interest on these vehicles differently. Financial incentives were found to closely offset the difference in price between conventional vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Social implications This study finds that public policies can be powerful in shaping consumers’ behaviour, although the amount of the financial incentive is key to triggering a large-scale effect. Originality/value The survey in this study allows an in-depth and ex ante analysis of the interest in acquiring PHEV under a green tax reform, taking into account other dimensions and socio-economic variables not accounted for in existent studies.

“…Shao Shifeng analyzed the factors that influence the purchase behavior of consumers, and found that price, brand, living environment, use purpose, the economic power of consumer, the economical fuel injection performance, etc., are the outstanding factors that influence car purchasing behavior of consumers (Shao 2003). Using Shanghai as a case study, Qiao Guangyu found that the current new energy vehicle (NEV) promotion policies did not have a significant impact on the cognitive trade-off of the NEV consumption, mainly due to inconvenient charging facilities, technical concerns regarding battery, higher prices, and wait-and-see attitudes regarding the pilot policy environment (Qiao 2014). Bao Yue summed up middle-income residents' car purchase motives and categorized the purchase motives into physiological need drive, social need motive, status need motive, enjoyment need motive, and cognitive need motive.…”
