Understanding Consumer Unawareness, Resistance, and Discontinuance vis-à-vis Electric Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Kenneth Kurani, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
This research examines both passive and active consumer resistance to EVs. Passive resistance may be characterized as never entering a consideration and purchase process, i.e., unawareness. Active resistance is a decision made as the result of evaluation—up to and including the experience of owning and driving an EV.
