Abstract:
This study explores how local policy can promote the diffusion of EVs (battery-electric vehicles). Specifically, we discuss how creative and destructive elements of local policy in two cities might have enhanced the relative advantage of EVs through shaping socio-technical configurations that surround the EV niche and the ICEV regime. We find that local policy can enhance the relative advantage of EVs in many ways, especially through shaping infrastructure, user practices, and normative rules. The latter could in particular take research on EV diffusion further, by increasing our understanding of the controversy of EVs even in markets with high diffusion.
