Abstract
Aiming to diversify the energy matrix, mainly regarding the transport sector, electric vehicles have been used as an option to reduce emissions. Despite many advantages of this technology, such as zero operational GHG emission, better energy efficiency compared to conventional vehicles, and low maintenance costs, the purchase cost is still high in several countries, compromising their adoption by many customers. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the factors that impact electric vehicles (EV) adoption. A systematic review was conducted considering peer‐reviewed papers published in English from 2016 to 2020, and results were separated into clusters to enable the assessment. The main factors found in the literature that most impacted EV market diffusion negatively were the purchase price and the risks related to the market infancy, while subjective norm, perceived behavior, prior knowledge and experience with EV and government incentives influenced EV adoption positively.
期刊介绍:
Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Energy and Environmentis a new type of review journal covering all aspects of energy technology, security and environmental impact.
Energy is one of the most critical resources for the welfare and prosperity of society. It also causes adverse environmental and societal effects, notably climate change which is the severest global problem in the modern age. Finding satisfactory solutions to the challenges ahead will need a linking of energy technology innovations, security, energy poverty, and environmental and climate impacts. The broad scope of energy issues demands collaboration between different disciplines of science and technology, and strong interaction between engineering, physical and life scientists, economists, sociologists and policy-makers.
