Abstract

The electric vehicle industry is currently undergoing a profound transformation. We conducted two surveys, respectively, in 2016 and 2022, to investigate whether these changes are perceived by consumers and to identify the key limitations of policy implementation. Our primary findings are as follows: a) The improvement in air quality has led to a gradual weakening of the influence of smog-related concerns on consumers' purchase intentions, rendering this factor no longer significant; b) Network externalities have been found to have the most substantial cumulative impact on enhancing consumers' purchase intentions, with this positive effect expected to expand further in the future; c) The decline in subsidies has had a relatively weak negative impact, resulting in a relatively minimal cumulative negative effect from 2016 to 2022; d) The perceived inadequacy of charging infrastructure improvements has a comparatively modest cumulative effect on consumers' purchase intentions, thereby emerging as a key limitation of policy implementation.

找出中国电动汽车发展的政策薄弱环节
电动汽车行业目前正在经历一场深刻的变革。我们分别于 2016 年和 2022 年进行了两次调查,以研究消费者是否感知到这些变化,并找出政策实施的主要限制因素。我们的主要发现如下:a) 空气质量的改善导致雾霾相关担忧对消费者购买意愿的影响逐渐减弱,使这一因素不再显著;b) 发现网络外部性对提高消费者购买意愿的累积影响最大,预计这一积极影响在未来将进一步扩大;c) 补贴下降的负面影响相对较弱,从 2016 年到 2022 年的累积负面影响相对较小;d) 充电基础设施改善不足对消费者购买意向的累积影响相对较小,因此成为政策实施的主要限制因素。

期刊介绍: Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
