Electric vehicles' choice behaviour: An emerging market scenario.
18
TL;DR: This study examines electric vehicle adoption enablers and inhibitors in an emerging market (India) using a mixed-methods approach, finding that consumer sustainability consciousness positively influences both enablers and inhibitors, moderated by product involvement and marketplace influence.

Abstract: Worldwide, the adoption of electric automobiles is gaining momentum, owing to a steady rise in customers' sustainability consciousness. So far, electric vehicle-related studies have investigated consumer motives, attitudes, and intentions toward adoption. However, empirical research on enablers and inhibitors of electric vehicle choice behaviour has not been fully explored, particularly in an emerging market context, (e.g., India). The present study employed a judicious mix of three notable theoretical lenses of dual-factor theory, innovation resistance theory, and the stimulus-organism-response model to empirically scrutinize electric vehicle adoption enablers and inhibitors by analysing data collected from 391 young Indian sustainability-oriented electric vehicle users. The sample was gathered via the purposive sampling method, and the data was analysed employing structural equation and PROCESS macro modelling. The research posits that consumer sustainability consciousness (CSC) is a stimulus with a positive influence on enablers (e.g., personal motives, social motives, and incentive policy) as well as inhibitors (e.g., usage, value, and risk barriers). Additionally, product involvement and perceived marketplace influence significantly moderate the relationship between choice behaviour and facilitators and inhibitors. The research offers a few useful strategic decision-making insights for electric vehicle manufacturers, green marketers, and policymakers from emerging markets.

Electric vehicles in transition: Opportunities, challenges, and research agenda - A systematic literature review.
Prakhar Prakhar,Rachana Jaiswal,Aviral Kumar Tiwari +2 more
Abstract: This study conducts a systematic literature review on electric vehicle (EV) adoption, mapping critical themes and presenting an integrated framework to advance understanding of EVs' role in sustainable transportation. Drawing on 917 Scopus-indexed articles and 23 stakeholder interviews, it explores economic, environmental, energy, and social (EEES) dynamics through the Theory-Context-Methodology (TCM) framework and causal loop diagrams. Findings reveal dominant theories, such as the Theory of Planned Behavior and Value-Belief Norm Theory, and underscore the importance of methodological approaches like regression analysis and structural equation modeling. Key research themes include adoption intention, green infrastructure, and sustainable transport policy, all aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 (Clean Energy), 11 (Sustainable Cities), and 13 (Climate Action). By constructing a causal loop diagram, this study illustrates complex interrelations among EEES factors, highlighting the reinforcing and balancing influences on EV adoption behavior. The proposed integrated framework provides a roadmap for future research, identifying significant gaps and strategic directions for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers. Practical implications include guidelines to foster EV integration into smart cities, addressing infrastructure and environmental challenges while encouraging policy incentives to enhance public adoption. The study's theoretical implications include the expansion of existing behavioral theories, the development of an integrated theoretical framework that combines TCM and CLDs, the introduction of CLDs as a tool for complex systems analysis, and the identification of thematic clusters within EV adoption research. This review supports informed decision-making for sustainable urban mobility, positioning EVs as transformative in the global shift toward eco-friendly transportation solutions.

S.M. Fatah Uddin,Lamay Bin Sabir,Mohd Danish Kirmani,Pradeep Kautish,David Roubaud,Oksana Grebinevych +5 more
TL;DR: This study explores consumer reasons for adopting electric vehicles using Behavioural Reasoning Theory, identifying "for" reasons (environmental concern, tech, knowledge) and "against" reasons (scepticism, price, utility), and examines the impact of financial incentives on adoption intentions.
