Abstract

The electrification of vehicles is often a significant component of global efforts to decarbonize transportation. To promote EV adoption, there is a need to understand the factors influencing it and how these factors vary across the population. While many have studied this topic, few (if any) have distinguished the factors influencing EV adoption based on whether the EV is replacing an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) or adding to a household’s fleet. Using a nationwide survey, this study examines how preferences towards hybrid, battery electric, and plug-in hybrid vehicles vary based on transaction type (i.e., to replace vs. acquire a car). Model results highlight differences in the effect and magnitude of factors influencing the propensity to choose EVs between households replacing an ICEV and expanding their vehicle fleet. However, regardless of transaction type, homeowners, younger adults, and individuals with higher levels of educational attainment are more likely to adopt EVs.

电动汽车：对于额外的家用汽车和替换家用汽车的偏好有何不同？

汽车电气化往往是全球交通运输脱碳努力的重要组成部分。为了促进电动汽车的采用，有必要了解影响电动汽车的因素，以及这些因素在不同人群中的差异。虽然很多人都研究过这个话题，但很少有人（如果有的话）根据电动汽车是取代内燃机汽车（ICEV）还是加入家庭车队来区分影响电动汽车采用的因素。通过一项全国性的调查，本研究考察了人们对混合动力汽车、电池电动汽车和插电式混合动力汽车的偏好是如何根据交易类型（即更换汽车还是购买汽车）而变化的。模型结果强调了家庭更换电动汽车和扩大车辆数量之间影响电动汽车选择倾向的因素的影响和程度的差异。然而，无论交易类型如何，房主、年轻人和受教育程度较高的个人更有可能采用电动汽车。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
