Heterogeneous electric vehicle market resilience and underlying contributors: Evidence from China

This study assesses electric vehicle (EV) market resilience and explores its underlying contributors. The authors develop a set of indices to measure the resistance, recoverability, and comprehensive resilience of the EV market. A four-dimensional conceptual framework, encompassing market foundation, industrial foundation, policy support and usage environment, is proposed to investigate the potential contributors to the EV market resilience. The models are applied to China’s provincial EV markets, and the geographical detector model is used for empirical investigation. The authors identify an imbalanced distribution of regional EV market resilience, characterized by a spatial clustering of high-performing regions. Notably, a majority of regions encounter challenges in simultaneously achieving high performance in both resistance and recoverability. It is found that contributors across the conceptual framework exhibit varying degrees of influence on resilience, with resistance shaped by inherent factors and recoverability by agency-based factors. However, diverse initiatives may counteract each other, due to interactions among contributors.
