Exploring Factors Influencing E-Bike Adoption Among Filipino Commuters: An Integrated Diffusion of Innovation and Technology Acceptance Model

World Electric Vehicle Journal, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16(2), С. 113 - 113

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2025

This study examines the factors influencing behavioral intention and usage behavior of e-bikes in Metro Manila National Capital Region (NCR) using constructs from Diffusion Innovation (DOI) theory, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), external variables such as government policies, infrastructure, social influence, public awareness. A cross-sectional survey 340 respondents was analyzed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore relationships among these constructs. The results indicate that perceived usefulness (PU), ease use (PEOU), awareness significantly affect intention, which strongly predicts e-bike behavior. Infrastructure also positively impacts use, while trialability enhances usefulness. However, between policies usefulness, well were insignificant, reflecting contextual limitations Philippine setting. findings highlight importance a primary driver adoption. To address barriers, practical recommendations include expanding bike lanes, implementing sharing systems, strengthening incentives, launching campaigns benefits e-bikes, cost savings environmental sustainability. contributes theory by integrating DOI TAM frameworks, offering comprehensive understanding adoption developing urban settings. These insights provide actionable strategies for policymakers, manufacturers, stakeholders promote sustainable transportation Philippines similar contexts.

Comparative Analysis of Charging Station Technologies for Light Electric Vehicles for the Exploitation in Small Islands

Energies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(6), С. 1477 - 1477

Опубликована: Март 17, 2025

The worldwide growing adoption of Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) indicates that such technology might in the near future be decisive for improving sustainability transportation. segment LEVs has some peculiar features compared to electric mobility general, which then deserve a devoted investigation. Stakeholders are called implement most appropriate depending on context, by taking into account multi-faceted factors, investigation object this work. At first, methodology is formulated estimating power and energy impact recharging. Based this, assessed load constituted general modest but create problems lowly structured networks, it becomes conceivable develop Charging Station (CS) technologies alternative grid connection at point delivery. Yet, fundamental accurate methodologies techno-economic environmental analysis. This work considers use case developed University Brescia (Italy): CS operating off-grid, powered PhotoVoltaics (PV). Its peculiarity transportable, makes more appealing rural/remote areas or when charging demand highly not homogeneous time. On these grounds, specializes context where proposed solution appealing: small isolated islands, particular Favignana Sicily (Italy). It estimated off-grid far advantageous as regards greenhouse gases emissions economically profitable than only if number users per day less order 200. Hence provides meaningful indications usefulness PV contexts furnishes method their assessment.

Consumer Acceptance, Social Behavior, Driving, and Safety Issues Regarding Electric Vehicles in Oman

World Electric Vehicle Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(12), С. 549 - 549

Опубликована: Ноя. 25, 2024

Following Vision 2040, Oman seeks to achieve economic diversification and environmental sustainability. In this context, the world’s quest of going electric brings along opportunities as well challenges. This study aims at determining key barriers facilitators EV adoption in country. examines factors such consumer acceptance, engagement, safe driving relation EVs, with a specific focus on Oman. To establish what Omani clients prefer, worries them most, whether they would consider making switch vehicles, empirical data sufficiently representative number were collected through survey. According responses, 55% participants reported that be willing think about purchasing an vehicle (EV) for their next car, which suggests somewhat moderate level acceptance. Adoption is hindered primarily by concerns reliability batteries extreme weather conditions, high purchase prices, fear running out charge, lack sufficient charging stations. Most drivers appreciate calm ease vehicle. As report states, certain actions must taken, including creating public awareness educational programs campaigns, providing government subsidies or financial incentives, necessary infrastructure equipment. address these issues quicken pace Oman’s transition calls collaboration among policymakers, car manufacturers, transport planners. Aside from offering actionable recommendations regarding eco-friendly means Oman, relevant acceptance vehicles country, research also enhances understanding related

Design and evaluation of a standalone electric vehicles charging station for a university campus in Argentina

International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(6), С. 1078 - 1092

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2024

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles in recent years has led to a growing demand for charging stations. In this context, universities are an ideal setting their installation, as they have large number students, professors, and staff who could benefit from them and, at the same time, it serves teaching material raise awareness use renewable energy. This work presents design proposal vehicle station campus Universidad Nacional de Rafaela (UNRaf). will be located area where construction more buildings sport facilities is planned. not connected electrical grid instead, energy storage system guarantee supply. capacity simultaneously charge 4 bicycles 2 light vehicles, with average 0.786 kWh per hour. Homer Pro software was used calculations. most economically viable option 100% solution powered only by solar It expected consist 15-kW that produce 22,922 kWh/year bank 30 batteries 3 plus single battery 1 kWh. installation on UNRaf contribute promoting adoption sustainable transportation, which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions without using public power grid.
