Influence of new car buyers' purchase experience on plug-in electric vehicle demand

(2018) Influence of new car buyers' purchase experience on plug-in electric vehicle demand. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are one new technology which offers promise for transport sustainability and improving energy efficiency. Global enthusiasm for PEVs has spurred broad-reaching interest, but for jurisdictions where PEV policies are absent, as in Australia, consumer adoption continues to be low. Research into the barriers of adoption for PEVs often identifies cost and lack of infrastructure as key barriers, but consumer's purchase experience plays a pivotal role in technology adoption. This research will help the PEV industry and governments to understand how critical the consumer purchase experience is to overall market success.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
