“…First, corroborating prior studies on electric car adoption, our results confirm that both attitude [9,47] and subjective norm [49][50][51] have an impact on EV buying intention. Specifically, the more positive is the attitude, the higher is the behavioral intention, and the greater is the perceived social pressure, the higher is the intention to purchase the car.…”

“…Firstly, we used a dummy variable for the gender, with gender = 1 for male and gender = 0 for female. Then, given that the adoption decision is influenced also by the financial capacity of the family [9], the income was another control variable. We used a discrete variable for the net household income per year, with net household income per year = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for less than 15,000€, 15,001€-30,000€, 30,001€-45,000€, 45,001€-60,000€ and more than 60,000€, respectively.…”

Does Value Co-Creation Really Matter? An Investigation of Italian Millennials Intention to Buy Electric Cars

Abstract:The present research aims to explore the determinants of (full) electric vehicle (EV) buying intention of Italian millennials focusing on the role that value co-creation initiatives might play in the buying decision-making process. Value co-creation initiatives in the EV domain are studied employing an enhanced version of the Theory of Reasoned Action which, in addition to the traditional variables of the model, also includes perceived importance of cars' attributes. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the data collected though an online survey on 523 Italians aged 18-35. The outcomes provide recommendations to tailor proper initiatives to encourage millennials' buying intention of electric vehicles supporting private companies in favoring the adoption of wide-spread pro-environmental behaviors among Italian youngsters.

“…Several prior studies have found positive associations between ease of use and usefulness, ease of use and attitude, usefulness and attitude, usefulness and intention to use, and attitude and intention to use [21,36]. Related to the domain of transportation and innovative products, several prior studies have been conducted on the validity and significance of the TPB and TAM [37][38][39]. Moreover, although users can have positive attitudes toward EVs, there can be hindrances and real-world constraints in purchasing and using them.…”

This study explores potential factors of drivers' intentions to use electric vehicles and proposes an integrated adoption model. Results of a structural equation modeling analysis with 988 samples indicate that drivers' intentions are predicted by one negative factor (cost) and three positive ones (satisfaction, usefulness, and attitude). In addition, the total standardized effects of potential factors on the intention are computed. The current study also validates the original technology acceptance model. Based on the results of the current study, practical and academic implications with potential limitations are examined and presented.

This study investigates the effects of the range of a battery electric vehicle (EV) by using questionnaire data. The concern about battery depletion changes according to charging station deployment. Firstly, the methodology for deriving the probabilistic distribution of the daily travel distance is developed, which enables us to analyze people's tolerance of the risk of battery depletion. Secondly, the desired range of an EV is modeled. This model considers the effect of changing charging station deployment and can analyze the variation in the desired range. Then, the intention of a household to purchase an EV is analyzed by incorporating range-related variables. The results show that people can live with a risk of battery depletion of around 2% to 5%. The deployment of charging stations at large retail facilities and/or workplace parking spaces reduces the desired range of an EV. Finally, the answers to the questionnaire show that the probability of battery depletion on a driving day has little effect on the intention to purchase an EV. Instead, people tend to evaluate the range by itself or directly compare it with their desired range.
