Investigation of User’s Preferences on Electric Passenger Cars

The objective of this research is to investigate user's preferences on the selection and use of electric passenger vehicles. In order to achieve this scope a questionnaire has been developed, for a sample of 150 users, consisting of difference sections (mobility characteristics, demographic, knowledge on electric vehicles). Moreover, the key part of the questionnaire referred to a stated preferences survey through hypothetical scenarios with attributes including purchase cost, fuel cost per 400km and driving autonomy. Subsequently, multinomial logistic regression models were developed from which the selection coefficients were obtained that mathematically describe the selection parameters of electric and hybrid passenger vehicles. Results indicate that, although purchase cost is an important factor, as expected, both driving autonomy and fuel cost have a significant effect on the model with high elasticity rates indicating that the next step on energy transition relies on several key parameters, that should be equally improved in the following years.
