The effects of policy interventions on electric vehicle consideration among priority populations
通过全因子情景实验，研究了针对弱势群体的金融激励、充电设施和电池保障措施如何影响其购买电动汽车的意愿，发现大额激励和家庭/学校充电有显著正向作用。
While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have the potential to alleviate transportation cost burdens and reduce local air pollution in marginalized communities, adoption to date has occurred predominantly among affluent households and communities. This disparity motivates an examination of whether equity-focused policy interventions influence BEV consideration in the communities they are intended to serve. Using a full factorial vignette survey experiment, we specify a beta regression model to quantify the effects of information related to financial incentives, charging infrastructure, and battery assurance measures on BEV purchase consideration. Large financial incentives, like Clean Cars 4 All, increase likelihood of considering a BEV by 5.3%. Access to charging at home, work, or school yields a similarly sized positive effect while public Level 2 and fast charging correspond to lower levels of consideration and do not differ meaningfully from one another.. Battery assurance measures also have no statistically significant effects on purchase consideration.
