摘要: This research project explores the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market, including both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and the sociodemographic characteristics of purchasing households. We use detailed micro-level data on PEV purchase records to answer two primary research questions. (1) We seek to provide evidence for or against conventional wisdom that suggests PEV adoption is more common among high income households and less common amongst minority groups. We use a detailed dataset that provides information about the demographic characteristics of the buyers allowing us to empirically confirm the extent to which adoption during this period was concentrated amongst particular demographic groups (2) To the extent that PEV adoption gaps exist, to what extent do adoption patterns support the possibility that low-income and minority ethnicity buyers of PEVs experience barriers to purchasing in the new and used market? Our dataset allows us to assess the relative difference in price and distance traveled to purchase a car between PEVs and conventional vehicles across ethnic and income categories.
