The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Assessing CO2 emissions of electric vehicles in Germany in 2030 (2015, background): “Due to acceptance issues, this lower limit might even be too low and more likely is a technical limitation rather than a realistic one (Franke et al. 2012).”
Interacting with limited mobility resources: Psychological range levels in electric vehicle use (2013, background): “Based on previous findings (Franke et al., 2011), we hypothesize that users adopt an individual range comfort zone that translates into a certain preferred range safety buffer, based on individual standards for avoiding stressful situations.”
Optimal planning of swapping/charging station network with customer satisfaction (2017, background): “Franke et al. (2012) introduced the definition of a comfortable range.”
Methods of evaluating electric vehicles from a user's perspective - The MINI E field trial in Berlin (2011, methodology): “The trip decision game was administered three times throughout the study and is described in more detail elsewhere [32].”
Advances in consumer electric vehicle adoption research: A review and research agenda (2015, background): “As researchers point out (Franke et al., 2011; Pearre et al., 2011), there are psychological barriers in adaptation to limited range of BEVs which can possibly be overcome by interventions such as interface design and driver training.”
