THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY, SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF ALTERNATE ENERGY VEHICLES IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA. VOLUME 1: TECHNICAL SUMMARY. FINAL REPORT

This study analyzes the potential market penetration in Arizona of various types of alternate energy vehicles. This market penetration is analyzed in terms of changes in the price of fuel, tax incentives, costs of conversion and consumer attitudes. While the study analyzes data only through 1985, many conclusions and responses related to the previous rapid rise in fuel prices may be relevant in light of the rapid price increases of early 1987. Short term market penetration, in the absence of legal intervention, is expected to amount to a very small fraction of the total operating fleet of motor vehicles.
