Abstract
Understanding the factors that will influence people’s preferences for Electric Vehicles (EVs) over Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs) is crucial. A discrete choice experiment was designed and administered as an online survey resulting in 1077 completed questionnaires. This study examined the influence of over 83 variables on preferences for EVs. As well, previous studies have used tailpipe emissions only to present GHG information, but in this study lifecycle GHG emissions of vehicles are presented. Five ensemble learning techniques and two interpretation techniques were employed to investigate individual decisions regarding selecting between EVs and ICEVs. The results demonstrate that when lifecycle emissions are presented, financial impacts are the principal influences on predicting preference for an EV over ICEV. Following the financial impacts are existing preferences for EVs and attitudes related to climate change. How the emissions are presented was the 12th and 9th most influential factor for BEVs and PHEVs respectively.
期刊介绍：
In our first issue, published in 1972, we explained that this Journal is intended to promote the free and vigorous exchange of ideas and experience among the worldwide community actively concerned with transportation policy, planning and practice. That continues to be our mission, with a clear focus on topics concerned with research and practice in transportation policy and planning, around the world.
These four words, policy and planning, research and practice are our key words. While we have a particular focus on transportation policy analysis and travel behaviour in the context of ground transportation, we willingly consider all good quality papers that are highly relevant to transportation policy, planning and practice with a clear focus on innovation, on extending the international pool of knowledge and understanding. Our interest is not only with transportation policies - and systems and services – but also with their social, economic and environmental impacts, However, papers about the application of established procedures to, or the development of plans or policies for, specific locations are unlikely to prove acceptable unless they report experience which will be of real benefit those working elsewhere. Papers concerned with the engineering, safety and operational management of transportation systems are outside our scope.
