Consumer Perception on the adoption of Electric Vehicle from an Indian Context- An Empirical Study

Abstract

Governments from many countries are encouraging people to switch to electric cars by offering financial incentives. According to earlier studies, challenges to consumer acceptability include the high cost of an electric car, the lack of charging infrastructure, and time and range concerns. Participants in the study are Indians who now own cars. To assess the data, structured equation modeling was employed. (SEM). A potent mediator in the adoption of electric vehicles has been identified as attitude (ATT). A few policy recommendations are offered for a more successful, long-term policy framework for India's future adoption of electric vehicles. For underdeveloped nations like India, research on crucial hurdles and insufficient charging infrastructure is addressed.
