摘要: While ownership and purchase of all vehicles approach gender parity, to date electric vehicles (EV) are being purchased by farmore men than women. Prior analysis from California finds no reason in the available data why this difference persists. Thisreport extends that analysis across 12 other U.S. states with varying, but generally less supportive than California, EV policy andmarket contexts. Data are from a survey conducted of new-car buying households at the end of 2014, which allowed participantsto express their prospective interest in acquiring an EV. Participants then indicated why they were motivated to select an EV orwhat motivated them to not select one. Via multivariate modeling, differences in prospective interest in EVs between female andmale respondents are examined, and overall, no difference rises to the level of the observed differences in real EV markets.Further, the multivariate modeling indicates no statistically significant effect of a sex indicator on prospective interest almostanywhere in these data; where there is a difference, female participants are estimated to be more likely to select an EV thantheir male counterparts. While participants from both sexes tend to give high scores to the same EV (de)motivations, differencesin their rank orders repeat generalizations from other research. On average, female respondents score environmentalmotivations for selecting an EV higher than do male respondents. On average, male participants score interest in “newtechnology” as a motivation for selecting an EV higher than do female participants. Conversely, on average female respondentswho do not select an EV score “unfamiliar technology” more highly than their male counterparts. Within the variation in EVpolicy and market contexts represented in this study, no finding here explains why similar prospective interest in EVs from fiveyears ago has yet to be turned toward equal participation in EV markets. Explanations may lie in factors not modeled here.
