Electric vehicles have gained ground in the global market in recent years. However, this innovative product is still in the early stage of mass acceptance in Taiwan, and there are few literatures about the perspective of consumers. This research aims to understand the key factors influencing Taiwanese consumers' intention to use electric vehicles by integrating constructs such as planning behavior theory, innovation diffusion theory, and consumers' personal emotions. The data of 180 valid respondents were collected through online questionnaires, and then the path analysis of the SEM was carried out. The results show that factors such as compatibility, media influence, social influence and self-efficacy have positive effects on consumers' emotions about electric vehicle, which in turn directly or indirectly affect their intentions to use. Personal emotion is the most important predictor of intention to use, which is supported by empirical data. The results will help the government to formulate electric vehicle industry development policies and to implement subsidy plans to promote consumers' intention for commonly purchase electric vehicles. |
