Policy measures to promote electric mobility – A global perspective

Research that addresses policy measures to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has discussed government regulations such as California’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) or penalties on petroleum-based fuels. Relatively few articles have addressed policy measures designed to increase the adoption of EVs by incentives to influence car buyers’ voluntary behavior. This article examines the effects of such policy measures. Two of these attributes are monetary measures, two others are traffic regulations, and the other three are related to investments in charging infrastructure. Consumer preferences were assessed using a choice-based conjoint analysis on an individual basis by applying the hierarchical Bayes method. In addition, the Kano method was used to elicit consumer satisfaction. This not only enabled the identification of preferences but also why preferences were based on either features that were “must-haves” or on attributes that were not expected but were highly attractive and, thus, led to high satisfaction. The results of surveys conducted in 20 countries in 5 continents showed that the installation of a charging network on freeways is an absolute necessity. This was completely independent from the average mileage driven per day. High cash grants were appreciated as attractive; however, combinations of lower grants with charging facilities resulted in similar preference shares in market simulations for each country. The results may serve as initial guidance for policymakers and practitioners in improving their incentive programs for electric mobility.

- Forecasting the trajectory of electric vehicle sales and the consequences for worldwide CO2 emissions (2020, background): “Norway and Sweden, for instance, will reach a 50% market share prior to 2035, which can particularly be attributed to strong governmental support (Lieven, 2015; Rietmann and Lieven, 2019).”
- The impact of service and government-policy attributes on consumer preferences for electric vehicles in China (2019, background): “…policies, previous research tends to focus exclusively on policies that are targeted at promoting AFV adoption only through incentives such as providing monetary subsidy or tax exemption, free parking, and access to bus or highoccupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes (Lieven, 2015; Wang et al., 2017).”
