• The effectiveness of financial purchase incentives for battery electric vehicles – A review of the evidence (2017, background): “This has also been found to be true for the automotive sector, even for buyers of hybrid or electric vehicles [20,50].”
• Modelling transport energy demand: A socio-technical approach (2012, background): “As such, non-price driven behaviour, which has already been found to play a significant role in transport choices (Anable, 2005; Steg, 2004; Turrentine and Kurani, 2007) was deemed to be a dominant driver of energy service demand from transport.”
• Predicting consumers’ intention to adopt hybrid electric vehicles: using an extended version of the theory of planned behavior model (2016, background): “Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), one type of energy-efficient transport innovation, are defined as the vehicles which combine a conventional internal combustion engine propulsion system with an electric propulsion system and can switch between the two systems (Turrentine and Kurani 2007; Diamond 200”
• Intent to Purchase a Plug-In Electric Vehicle: A Survey of Early Impressions in Large US Cites (2013, background): “…actual purchasing decisions based on fuel economy, perhaps due to their tendency to incorrectly gauge the size of fuel economy benefits (Heffner et al., 2007; Kurani and Turrentine, 2007), or due to a common perception that fuel economy connotes “cheap” or “light” (Kurani and Turrentine, 2007).”
• Nudging Energy Efficiency Behavior: The Role of Information Labels (2014, unknown): “See, e.g., Ruderman, Levine, and McMahon (1987), Sutherland (1991), Jaffe and Stavins (1994), Metcalf (1994), Gillingham, Newell, and Palmer (2006, 2009), Tietenberg (2009), Newell (2010), Allcott and Greenstone (2012), Arimura et al. (2012), and Gillingham and Palmer (2012).”
• Conspicuous conservation: The Prius halo and willingness to pay for environmental bona fides (2014, background): “This is particularly true of owners of hybrid and electric-powered vehicles (Gjøen and Mikael, 2002; Heffner et al., 2006, 2007; Turrentine and Kurani, 2007; Skippon and Garwood, 2011).”
• The role of instrumental, hedonic and symbolic attributes in the intention to adopt electric vehicles (2013, background): “In general, car use and car ownership are typically associated with instrumental, hedonic, and symbolic attributes (e.g., Anable and Gatersleben, 2005; Bergstad et al., 2011; Steg, Vlek, and Slotegraaf, 2001; Steg, 2005; Turrentine and Kurani, 2007).”
• Chapter 5 – Is There an Energy Efficiency Gap? (2012, unknown): “Turrentine and Kurani (2007) and Larrick and Soll (2008) use structured interviews and laboratory studies to show that consumers are not very good at calculating the gasoline costs for different automobiles.”
• The impact of government policy on preference for NEVs: The evidence from China (2013, methodology): “…constructs in this research are considered to possess high content validity, as the measuring items were predominantly derived from the literature, such as Segal (1995), Mourato et al. (2004), Klein (2007), Ozaki (2011), Turrentine and Kurani (2007), Sevastyanova (2011), and Kang and Park (2011).”
• Will subsidies drive electric vehicle adoption? Measuring consumer preferences in the U.S. and China (2015, background): “In a study of semi-structured interviews of 57 households in California, they found that consumer decisions about fuel economy were more heavily influenced by emotion rather than analysis and that car buyers do not think about fuel economy in terms of payback periods, willingness-to-pay, or other co”
• Psychological determinants of fuel consumption of purchased new cars (2011, background): “With regard to underlying specific beliefs (Ajzen, 2007) about the 22 consequences of buying such vehicles, a survey by Turrentine and Kurani (2007) 23 suggests that most consumers associate fuel economy with the smallest and cheapest 24 vehicles and do not perceive any difference between fuel…”
• The Welfare Effects of Misperceived Product Costs: Data and Calibrations from the Automobile Market (2013, background): “Structured interviews by Turrentine and Kurani (2007) show that only a small fraction of vehicle owners are able to calculate the present discounted value of gasoline costs in the way that standard consumer choice models, taken literally, assume that they can.”
• Total cost of ownership and its potential implications for battery electric vehicle diffusion (2016, background): “…undervalue fuel economy savings, which in turn leads to a lower adoption rate of “ eco innovations ” than theoretical market theory would predict, in the literature this phenomena is called the “ energy paradox ” (Boardman et al., 2000; Green, Evans, & Hiestand, 2013; Turrentine & Kurani, 2007).”
