Youngers’ Preferences for Electric Cars in Italy and China: A Stated Choice Analysis
This article reports on a study of automobile drivers’ car preferences in Italy and China to identify differences and commonalities in electric car choice determinants. The authors conduced a stated-choice experiment and collected data from a sample of Italian (N = 436) and Chinese (N = 358) university students with a web-based questionnaire (March to November 2021). The authors used a mixed logit (MXL) model to investigate the roles of purchase price, driving range, and other socioeconomic variables in the choice of electric vehicles (EVs). Results showed that Italians were more concerned about the EV range than the Chinese respondents. The availability of garage charging points positively affected the choice of battery electric vehicles (BEV) for Italians, while no significant result was found in China for the different types of electric vehicles. Another aspect of the study evaluated the impact of policy changes on the selection of BEVs, showing that dual incentives that target both price and driving range could stimulate the uptake of electric vehicles.
