Summary: This study investigates the acceptance of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging among electric vehicle (EV) drivers. The findings suggest that clear communication, financial compensation, real-time insight, and user-friendly interface contribute to higher acceptance. However, uncertainty in battery state-of-charge, increased planning requirements, anxiety about reaching destinations, and restrictions on personal vehicle use are major barriers. The study also reveals that actual experience with V2G charging influences perceptions, with concrete factors carrying more weight than abstract concerns.

Summary: The introduction of emission legislation has increased innovations in vehicle fault diagnosis, but the adoption of Electronic Vehicle Diagnostic Technology (EVDT) is low in Ghana. This study develops an EVDT Acceptance Model (EVDTAM) based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) to assess mechanics' intention and actual use of EVDT. A sample of 384 auto mechanics in Ghana was selected using a convenient sampling technique. The results support the hypotheses and indicate that technology facilitating conditions strongly predict intention to use EVDT and resource facilitating conditions strongly predict the adoption of EVDT. This study fills a research gap and provides practical and theoretical implications.

Summary: This study examines the impact of experience on the intention to use autonomous vehicles (AVs), finding that a satisfying experience leads to higher levels of trust, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. The study also shows that attitudes, perceived behavioral control, experience satisfaction, and trust are statistically proven to affect the intention to use AVs, excluding the subjective norm. Individual differences, such as gender and education level, also play a role in the impact of experience satisfaction on perceived behavioral control.

Summary: Higher battery storage capacity in electric vehicles (EV) reduces the inconvenience of recharging during long trips and increases the potential gains from vehicle-to-grid (V2G) electricity supply. This study shows that V2G increases consumer choice of battery capacity, lowers the cost of owning an EV compared to a traditional car, alleviates capacity pressure during peak hours, and saves social costs. Moreover, V2G may also reduce the price difference between peak and off-peak hours, potentially increasing social surplus further.

Summary: In recent decades, water shortage has become a serious problem worldwide, leading to an increased focus on seawater desalination as an alternative water resource. Despite efforts by China's coastal provinces to promote the desalination industry, the reluctance of residents to use desalinated water hinders its large-scale development. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) reveals that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control influence residents' intention to use desalinated water, with an interrelationship between subjective norm and attitude.

Summary: The study on the data of rental EVs in Beijing in January 2019 showed that increasing infrastructure availability and charging/discharging speed can boost both charging and discharging demands. A 10% increase in EV charging probability leads to a 13% increase in charging demand and a 28% increase in discharging demand. Overall, rental EVs have the potential to contribute significantly to smart grid through V2G technology.

Summary: In the field of Energy Social Science (ESS), the concept of imagined publics is used to describe how energy actors perceive societal groups. Findings show that imagined publics often build upon deficit assumptions and each imaginary is based on different epistemic, action, and normative assumptions. By systematically identifying diverse imagined publics, key social, ethical, and political tensions and trade-offs in transitions become visible.

Summary: The article discusses the impact of new technologies on public life and emphasizes the need for public debates on innovation. It suggests that instead of solely focusing on the expected effects of new technologies, there should be discussions on the implicit normative assumptions in innovation processes. By depicting innovations as deliberate transformations, it proposes that existing technology assessment organizations could initiate discussions on the desirability and credibility of worldviews and expectations held by technology developers to democratize the technology development process further.

In liberal democracies, justice demands are seen as a pursuit for emancipation and empowerment of excluded groups. Conceptual inconsistencies explain the ambiguity and inconsistencies in these demands, requiring an empirical and normative research agenda to adapt institutions for social justice.

Summary: With increasing concerns for environmental sustainability and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles have emerged as a promising solution. However, successful adoption and widespread use of electric vehicles depend not only on technological advancements but also on the availability and effectiveness of supporting facilities and conducive environments. This research employs structural equation models to examine the influential factors related to urban planning that impact individuals' willingness to adopt electric vehicles. Data were collected from a diverse sample of 4011 Beijing residents. The study underscores the pivotal role of urban conditions and travel patterns in driving people's preference for electric vehicles, with influential factors including access to green spaces, high-rise buildings, parking availability, loan accessibility, commute time, and housing ownership. Then, variations in willingness and influencing factors between urban and suburban residents are observed, with urban residents being more susceptible to the impact of motorized travel modes and suburban property ownership directly affecting electric vehicle usage. Additionally, certain variables exhibit mediating and moderating effects on electric vehicle preferences. The study highlights the multi-factorial nature of electric vehicle adoption from a planning view, distinguishing itself from prior research focused on isolated elements and simplistic associations. The outcomes provide policymakers and urban planners with effective strategies to facilitate widespread electric vehicle adoption and promote sustainable transportation practices.
