Keeping up with the ever-changing BEV industry is a high-stakes challenge, particularly as demographic factors influence consumer behavior and adoption patterns. This study investigates how demographic elements, such as education, income, age, and gender, are associated with environmental awareness, BEV awareness, and purchase intention in Guangdong Province, a national leader in BEV infrastructure and adoption. Based on 300 survey responses, our finding reveals that charging infrastructure (42 %) and battery technology (40 %) are key technological priorities among consumers. Education and income are positively related to both BEV awareness and purchase intention, while younger consumers show a stronger intent to adopt BEVs than older groups. Gender differences also emerge, with men reporting higher purchase intention. Environmental awareness shows a positive association with both BEV awareness and intention, suggesting a link between sustainability values and mobility choices. This study fills a significant gap in the literature by incorporating socio-economic diversity into BEV adoption. Framed within the Industry 5.0 paradigm, our findings offer new insights into how human-centric, inclusive transitions may be facilitated through demographically informed policy and market strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 114690"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that (1) ADCV have trade-destruction effects and substantially reduce CSPE.

Additionally, some production capacity shifts to domestic sales, mitigating the negative impact of trade disruptions.

In this study, we investigate the economic and environmental impacts of implementing a carbon tax on this sector. To achieve this, we employ a global, multi-region Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), as our analytical framework. We extend the GTAP model by incorporating transport mode substitution and exogenously determining maritime transport costs using machine learning techniques and rich-level dataset on ships. We assess the effectiveness of carbon taxes at $50 and $100/tCO2e on international shipping. This assessment involves calculating emissions for each bilateral trade route and product category. Our findings reveal that the proposed carbon taxes lead to a modest reduction in maritime emissions, but also modest negative impacts on exports and real GDP. However, the adverse impacts can be partially alleviated by redistributing the carbon tax revenues to climate-sensitive countries. Moreover, our results underscore that carbon pricing alone may not be sufficient to achieve deep decarbonization in the shipping sector. Complementary policies—such as fuel standards, or other energy efficiency regulations—can enhance the effectiveness of carbon taxation while mitigating its regressive economic impacts. Our analysis highlights the importance of developing comprehensive measures that not only achieve emissions reduction but also address inequalities and support decarbonization goals of the shipping sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 114627"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis reveals that MTREP implementation significantly suppresses renewable energy investment overall, though with important nuances. The observed inhibition stems primarily from subsidy withdrawal, while market-oriented trading mechanisms show no statistically significant negative impact. This dampening effect exhibits distinct spatial and technological heterogeneity: it is concentrated in regions with low electricity demand, and while MTREP curtails wind power investment in resource-scarce areas, it conversely stimulates solar PV development. At a high level of renewable energy development, the inhibition effect of MTREP decreased. Geographically, the benefits of marketization become increasingly concentrated in eastern and central China, along with Xinjiang province. Temporally, the policy impact evolves through three distinct phases - an initial stimulative effect gives way to investment suppression before reaching a period where both effects coexist.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 114683"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144070064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
