CUSTOMER BUYING INTENTION TOWARDS ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN INDIAIAEME Publication
Electric vehicle is a new way of transportation having no air, noise pollution and
an environmental friendly way to commute. India being a major market for electric
vehicle and government plan to be an electric vehicle country by 2030 is a major
ambitious plan and to achieve this this study has been conducted to check the
acceptability of people towards electric vehicle and its effect on automobile industry.
In this study we tried to find the people opinion and their awareness about the electric
vehicle, reaction to some shortcomings of electric vehicle and will people accept it
wholeheartedly. Government of India launched FAME scheme to increase the
adoption of electric vehicle among masses.
Almost all the vehicle producer in the world have at least one electric vehicle in
their product portfolio and around the globe the acceptance of electric people is
rapidly growing. Several policies in favor of electric mobility has been rolled out and
its immediate effect are positive. However it’s an ambitious and long journey with a
comprehensive policy plan, it can be achieved. Policies need to be introduce to
discourage the further adoption of gasoline vehicle and new schemes need to be
implemented to aggravate the adoption of electric vehicle.
This study used 9 independent factors pertaining to characteristics of electric cars
and developed a regression model for determining the buying behavior of customer.
The analysis was done using R software. The study found that mobility and recharging
characteristics were found to be most significant factors while RTO norms was
considered to be the least significant characteristic affecting the buying decision of
electric cars. The model developed from our study was 88% accurate and hence can
be used for predicting the buying behavior of customer. This study is of prime
importance to the companies who wanted to launch electric cars in India.

Many are skeptical initially; our task is to enlighten them.
Demonstrating functionality and value is crucial.
Throughout my journey, I've encountered constant
skepticism—range, costs, energy sources, weather
concerns, charging infrastructure—endlessly. Yet, every
success convinces skeptics, influencing change in mindset.
Patience is essential (although I have precious little of it).
Admittedly, some doubts persist, akin to unpopped popcorn
kernels. Eventually, a decision is needed to leave them and
progress forward.
How would you describe your leadership style and
philosophy when navigating the dynamic landscape of
EVs?
I work in business, so my focus is always to show the value
of transitioning to EVs. Very few will do it only for
altruistic reasons, they want to see the business case.
I try to figure out what is keeping people and companies
from implementing changes and then I do my very best to
provide solutions and ways to overcome those barriers. We
already know what we need to do, now we need to support
others to find out how to do it as fast and good as possible.
Have there been mentors or influencers who have
significantly impacted your journey in the EV sector?
In the beginning, there was a touch of solitude, yet
companionship was never far. I connected with remarkable
individuals like John Boesel and Bill van Amburg at
Calstart, who imparted invaluable wisdom and still serve as
my inspiration. At IKEA, numerous incredible colleagues
enriched my journey, including the ever-effective Raphael
Guillard.
Working alongside Sandra Roling of EV100, Erik Björke of
EV100+ and the Climate Group team has been a privilege.
Time with Climate Champions introduced me to global
trailblazers like Jamie Plotnek, Monica Arya, Mohammed
Hegazy and Nigel Topping. Industry experts such as
Andreas Follér (Scania), Fredrika Klarén (Polestar),
Kristen Siemen (GM) and countless others continue to fuel
my inspiration.
Could you share a personal example of how your
innovative mindset has contributed to advancements in
the EV industry?
I am a people person, so I work a lot through relationships.
I do think the work we did at COP26 was a game changer,
having companies like GM, Ford, Volvo cars, JLR and
others signing the ZEV declaration and telling the world we
should have an end of ICE by 2035, along with
governments, regions, fleet owners and many more. It took
months of negotiations, many discussions and a lot of trust-
building, but we got there in the end.
How do you actively contribute to inspiring and
nurturing young talent interested in pursuing a career
in electric mobility?
How could you not get inspired by this, it is so exciting!
Since I have the privilege of working with this every day, I
also get to talk about it a lot. I'm sure my younger
colleagues are getting tired of hearing me go on and on
about it honestly!
I try and make sure to talk about this every chance I get
honestly, at conferences, in schools and at recruiting events.
It is a very exciting field, with lots of technology changes,
disruption and the opportunity to have a real impact, who
wouldn't want to work with that?!
Looking forward, what legacy would you like to leave
behind in the EV industry and what vision do you hold
for its future?
My vision is to have a world where transport and mobility
are sustainable, available, affordable and safe for everyone.
We desperately need to electrify, but we also need to make
sure we don't just buy new EVs in the north and send our
ICE to the south.
We need a just transition, we need to think of mobility as a
whole and that includes safety for women on public
transport, it involves many modes of transportation, cities
built to encourage bikes, shared mobility systems, and
much more. I hope my legacy is that I did all I could to
make that future happen.

A Comparative Analysis

27. n recent years, the automotive industry has witnessed a
Isignificant shift towards more sustainable and
environmentally friendly transportation options. Electric
vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a viable alternative to
traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This
comparative analysis aims to examine the key differences
between electric vehicles and internal combustion engines,
taking into account various aspects such as environmental
impact, cost, performance, and infrastructure.
Overall Effect
One of the most significant factors driving the adoption of
electric vehicles is their reduced environmental impact. EVs
produce zero tailpipe emissions, which means they do not
release harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen
oxides (NOx), and particulate matter. This reduction in
emissions contributes to improving air quality and mitigating
climate change. In contrast, ICE vehicles burn fossil fuels and
release these pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air
pollution and global warming.
Additionally, the environmental benefits of EVs can be further
enhanced when the electricity they use is generated from
renewable sources like wind or solar power. This transition to
cleaner energy sources can significantly reduce the carbon
footprint associated with electric vehicles.
Cost of Ownership
The cost of ownership is a crucial consideration for consumers
when choosing between EVs and ICE vehicles. While the
upfront cost of electric vehicles is generally higher than that of
traditional vehicles, there are several cost-related factors to
consider.
Fuel and Maintenance: Electric vehicles are more energy-
efficient and have lower operating costs than ICE vehicles. EV
owners save money on fuel as electricity is typically cheaper
than gasoline or diesel. Moreover, EVs have fewer moving
parts and require less maintenance, leading to lower
maintenance and repair costs over the vehicle's lifetime.
Government Incentives: Many governments offer incentives
such as tax credits and rebates to promote the adoption of
electric vehicles. These incentives can offset the higher initial
purchase price and make EVs more affordable for consumers.
Resale Value: EVs tend to have better resale value compared
to ICE vehicles due to their lower maintenance costs and the
perception of being more environmentally friendly.

28. Charging Infrastructure
Charging infrastructure is a critical factor in the widespread
adoption of electric vehicles. While ICE vehicles can be
refueled at gas stations almost anywhere, the availability of
charging stations for EVs varies by region. In urban areas,
charging infrastructure is generally more accessible and
convenient. However, rural areas and regions with limited
charging infrastructure may pose challenges for EV owners,
especially during long trips.
To address this issue, governments and private companies
are actively investing in expanding the EV charging
network to make it more accessible and convenient for
users. Fast-charging stations are also being developed to
reduce charging times, making EVs a more viable option
for long-distance travel.
Performance
Performance is another area where EVs and ICE vehicles
differ. Electric vehicles are known for their instant torque
and smooth acceleration. They offer a quiet and smooth
driving experience, with no engine noise. ICE vehicles, on
the other hand, may have a broader range of options in
terms of power and performance, including high-
performance sports cars and heavy-duty trucks. However,
EV technology is advancing rapidly, and high-performance
electric vehicles are becoming more common.
Environmental Impact
Emissions: Beyond just tailpipe emissions, the entire
lifecycle of a vehicle should be considered. While EVs
produce no tailpipe emissions, the manufacturing process of
their batteries does have an environmental impact.
However, as battery technology improves and becomes
more sustainable, this impact is expected to decrease.
Resource Utilization: The production of lithium-ion
batteries, which are commonly used in EVs, relies on the
extraction of minerals like lithium and cobalt. Sustainable
mining practices and recycling initiatives are being
developed to mitigate the environmental impact of resource
extraction.
Evaluation
Fuel Costs: The cost of electricity is generally lower than
that of gasoline or diesel, resulting in significant fuel
savings over the lifetime of an EV.
Maintenance: EVs have fewer moving parts, reducing the
need for maintenance. ICE vehicles require regular oil
changes, transmission repairs, and more, which can add up
over time.
Depreciation: EVs tend to depreciate at a slower rate
compared to ICE vehicles, partly due to their lower
operating costs and the growing demand for electric
vehicles.
Charging Infrastructure
Charging Speed: Fast-charging technology is improving,
allowing EVs to charge more quickly. Some EVs can gain a
significant amount of range in just 30 minutes of charging,
but the availability of fast chargers varies by location.
Home Charging: EV owners can charge their vehicles at
home using a standard electrical outlet, making it
convenient for daily use. This contrasts with ICE vehicles,
which require visits to gas stations.
