ELECTRIC AND PLUG‐IN HYBRID VEHICLE DEMAND: LESSONS FOR AN EMERGING MARKET
基于选择实验数据，估计插电式混合动力汽车与纯电动汽车的需求差异，发现前者支付意愿与价格溢价之间的差距接近当前补贴水平，而后者差距更大，且插电式混合动力汽车吸引了不同的消费者群体。
Understanding demand in the new plug‐in hybrid electric vehicle ( PHEV ) market is critical to designing more effective adoption policies. We use stated preference data from an innovative choice experiment to estimate demand for PHEVs relative to battery electric vehicles ( BEVs ) and to explore heterogeneity in demand for these vehicles. We find the gap between willingness to pay for PHEVs and their price premium over conventional vehicles is on the order of current subsidies, while that of BEVs is an order of magnitude larger. We use a latent class model to show PHEVs draw a different consumer segment into the market.
