The Road to Electromobility in Poland: Consumer Attitude Assessment

Abstract

Purpose: The article presents selected research results concerning the Polish path of electromobility development. The subject of the research was to gain extensive knowledge about contemporary consumer attitudes. This goal was achieved by trying to identify the most important factors determining the choice of electric vehicles by the demand side in the Polish automotive market. Approach / Methodology / Design: CAWI techniques were used in the study. The study was conducted at the turn of 2020 and 2020. The research sample included 1,000 respondentscurrent owners of conventional fuel vehicles. Conclusions: Increasing the share in the electric vehicle market is one of the pillars of the electromobility development program in Poland. The authors emphasize the essence of the relationship between consumers' attitudes towards electric vehicles and the willingness to buy them and continue to use them. Practical implications: The study shows that the knowledge of consumer attitudes plays an important role in the development program electromobility in Poland. By verifying opinions about electric vehicles among their potential buyers. Originality/Value: The survey attempts to fill a gap in the literature on the subject. An experimental research approach may clarify the essence of the relationship between the development of electromobility and the attitude of consumers.

The Potential of Using Renewable Energy Sources in Poland Taking into Account the Economic and Ecological Conditions

“…To this end, according to Directive 2009/28/EC [2], EU Member States should gradually increase the share of energy from their renewable sources, both in total energy consumption and in the transport sector. The problem related to CO 2 emissions in transport has been widely described in publications [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. In Poland, despite production of energy from renewable sources is growing every year, the country's main source is still conventional energy sources.…”

Machine Learning for Solving Charging Infrastructure Planning Problems: A Comprehensive Review

“…The identification of charging hotspots in advance will help power grid operators check whether grid reinforcement is required to support the increasing EV adoption. The planning model adopted in this case study performed better than the model reported in [114][115][116][117]. The third case study predicted the charging demand in Helsinki using a hybrid Bayesian network and RF-based methodology.…”

Determinants of Electric Cars Purchase Intention in Poland: Personal Attitudes v. Economic Arguments
