The aim of this paper is to analyze the subsidy strategies of NEV charging infrastructure considering consumers' low-carbon preference. A tripartite evolutionary game model is constructed among the government, auto manufacturers and consumers. The impacts of the initial willingness of each participant and external parameter on evolution of strategies are simulated, revealing the mechanism of subsidy strategy on the development of NEVs. The results of the study show that the government's strategy choice is least affected by the initial willingness of the parties, and largely affected by the level of government subsidies. In addition, consumers' low-carbon preference level, government subsidy level and fuel price have the greatest impact on the strategies of auto manufacturers and consumers, and the government can choose to regulate fuel price and increase low-carbon publicity to alleviate the financial pressure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 114688"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144168468","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}

Households in six European countries – Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Switzerland – were surveyed to examine challenges and adaptation measures, including strategies such as reducing room temperature and energy consumption, and how these varied across political and socio-technical contexts. Using descriptive statistics and factor analysis, this paper shows that perceptions of rising energy prices vary across countries, but that feeling affected by the crisis does not necessarily translate into everyday energy-saving actions. However, a higher perceived impact on daily life correlates with lower confidence in the future, especially among younger participants, low-income groups, and women. The paper highlights the policy opportunities and challenges of crises, which offer opportunities for change and raise awareness around the need for a swifter green energy transition; if mishandled, crises situations and energy transitions more generally could widen inequalities and lead to the rejection of this goal. Three recommendations are put forward: empowering vulnerable groups without exacerbating inequalities, building resilience to future energy crises, and fostering public confidence in the management of disruptions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 114711"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147368","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}

Using a structural gravity model, this study analyzes the relationship between technology imports and the expansion of wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) capacities. The findings reveal significant differences in countries’ development trajectories, showing that between 2000 and 2020, increases in renewable energy capacity did not substantially drive technology imports. A 100 % increase in the growth rate of wind energy capacity led to a 1.9 % increase in wind technology imports, while the same growth rate for solar PV resulted in a 6.2 % increase in PV technology imports. These findings hold even when China, the largest producer of clean energy technologies, is excluded from the dataset. Based on these results, it is recommended that policymakers continue to support renewable energy expansion, as it does not necessarily lead to higher import dependency and may offer opportunities for local industries, especially when coupled with industry-specific support measures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 114697"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147367","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}

Concerns over energy security and demand for alternative energy technology by the Department of Defense (DoD) shifted federal R&D initiatives in favor of clean technologies in the early 2000s.

If operated flexibly, these assets can influence electricity price formation and trigger a redistribution of welfare from producers to consumers. The magnitude and direction of this redistribution are likely to vary across technologies and end-user groups, depending on their flexibility potential and usage behavior. To explore these dynamics, this study quantifies redistributional effects by integrating diverse flexibility options and user groups into a high-resolution European dispatch model, simulating multiple flexibility use cases across the transport and heating sectors in Germany. Our findings show that while total system welfare increases slightly, greater flexibility leads to a significant redistribution of welfare from producers to consumers. Notably, consumers benefit as an aggregated group, regardless of whether they provide flexibility. Among the assessed flexibility options, electric vehicles – particularly through bidirectional charging – offer greater welfare gains compared to heat pumps, while also intensifying competition with utility-scale batteries. In the transport sector, flexibility leads to notable variations in electricity costs depending on charging behaviors, whereas in the heating sector, increased flexibility promotes cost convergence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 114684"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144134417","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}
