Discontinuance, the act of abandoning a new technology after once being an adopter, has implications for market growth and could prevent electric vehicles from ever reaching 100% market share. Using results from five surveys of electric vehicle owners, the researchers examine discontinuance among battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle adopters.
Long-distance travel research is limited due to the lack of robust data and the complexity of defining a long-distance trip. This study contributes to filling that gap by investigating the factors that affect the frequency of long-distance trips of Californian millennials and members of the preceding Generation X.
This paper proposed a methodological framework to assess the potential of electric vehicle penetration and corresponding reduction in energy use and emissions in Georgia, U.S., using 2017 National Household Travel Survey data.

This dissertation presents a unified framework for understanding plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) usage, with special focus on household factors, user preferences, and PEV technologies. The researcher also looks at energy, emissions, and infrastructure-related factors.
This dissertation communicates results from three different studies on emissions reductions, charging infrastructure, and travel behavior associated with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
