Factors Influencing Electric Vehicle Adoptions: A Literature Review Based on the UTAUT2 Model
Keywords:
EV, UTAUT2, technology trust, satisfaction with incentive policiesAbstract
The global climate crisis has become a severe issue that impacts all facets of human existence. Over half of the world's CO2 emissions are caused by the transportation sector, with road transport contributing roughly one-sixth of all emissions. In order to lessen the sector's negative environmental effects, it is crucial to create a clean and sustainable transportation system. As an alternative
to internal combustion engines (ICE), Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more popular. They are thought to lessen reliance on energy imports. However, there are a number of obstacles to overcome before transportation electrification can be fully implemented globally, including those related to infrastructure, technology, economy, and user acceptance. The Indonesian
government has bolstered its support for EV adoption through policies and laws, including lowering tax incentives and subsidies and building charging infrastructure, in keeping with its pledge to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) emissions by 2030. Customers' trust also influences the adoption of EVs in technology since they frequently have concerns about its sustainability, safety, and
performance. This study combines technology trust and incentive policy satisfaction and applies the Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use 2 (UTAUT2) to examine the variables impacting EV adoption. This model was created to elucidate the variables that may impact consumers' choices to switch to EVs for daily transportation.
