Abstract

This study delves into the factors influencing the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in urban and peri-urban areas, focusing on the roles of availability, accessibility, affordability, and acceptability. Utilizing probit and logit models, the research evaluates how demographic characteristics such as age, income, and residence, along with beliefs about economic and environmental benefits, affect individuals' willingness to adopt EVs. The findings reveal that while urban residents are slightly more inclined towards EV adoption due to better infrastructure, significant gaps in EV infrastructure and high costs remain barriers in peri-urban regions. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of personal beliefs and trust in EV technology as critical factors that enhance the likelihood of adoption. The results underscore the need for comprehensive policy frameworks that address both infrastructural and psychological barriers, aiming to enhance the feasibility, overcome challenges, and ensure the sustainability of EV adoption initiatives. This research offers valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders looking to promote EV adoption and contribute to sustainable urban development.

电动汽车在城市和城郊地区采用的决定因素

本研究探讨了影响城市和城郊地区电动汽车普及的因素，重点研究了可获得性、可及性、可负担性和可接受性。该研究利用probit和logit模型，评估了年龄、收入、居住地等人口特征，以及对经济和环境效益的看法，如何影响个人采用电动汽车的意愿。调查结果显示，虽然由于基础设施较好，城市居民更倾向于采用电动汽车，但电动汽车基础设施的巨大差距和高成本仍然是城郊地区的障碍。此外，该研究强调了个人信仰和对电动汽车技术的信任的重要性，这是提高采用可能性的关键因素。研究结果强调，需要建立综合政策框架，解决基础设施和心理障碍，以提高电动汽车普及举措的可行性，克服挑战，并确保其可持续性。这项研究为政策制定者和利益相关者提供了有价值的见解，他们希望促进电动汽车的采用，并为可持续城市发展做出贡献。
