Abstract

Existing research on battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption has primarily focused on early adopters. This study examines factors influencing BEV uptake in a mature market using a representative survey from Norway. Multinomial logistic regression and open-ended responses are used to explore how attitudes influence the likelihood of being a BEV user, having adoption intentions, or having no adoption intentions. The results indicate that economic incentives are important for BEV users, while environmental performance drives adoption intentions. Environmental concerns are a significant barrier for consumers with no adoption intentions. All groups express dissatisfaction with BEV range and charging infrastructure, but consumers with no adoption intentions are the most critical. BEV users and consumers with adoption intentions value BEVs as convenient, while consumers with no adoption intentions do not. These findings suggest that targeted policies addressing the distinct needs and attitudes of different market segments are essential to further accelerate BEV uptake.

消费者对纯电动汽车的偏好：比较挪威消费者群体

目前对纯电动汽车（BEV）采用的研究主要集中在早期采用者身上。本研究考察了影响纯电动汽车在成熟市场吸收的因素，采用挪威的代表性调查。使用多项逻辑回归和开放式回答来探索态度如何影响成为BEV用户，有采用意图或没有采用意图的可能性。结果表明，对于纯电动汽车用户来说，经济激励是重要的，而环境绩效则是驱动采用意愿的因素。对于没有购买意向的消费者来说，环境问题是一个重大障碍。所有群体都对纯电动汽车的续航里程和充电基础设施表示不满，但没有采用意向的消费者最为不满。纯电动汽车用户和有采用意向的消费者认为纯电动汽车方便，而没有采用意向的消费者则不认为方便。这些发现表明，针对不同细分市场的不同需求和态度制定有针对性的政策，对于进一步加速纯电动汽车的普及至关重要。

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.
