This study identifies key factors that influence actual EV drivers' acceptance of V2G charging, including financial compensation, transparent communication, and reliable user control of the system. However, some drivers still have reservations and approach V2G with caution.
The objective of this study is to identify factors that influence actual electric vehicle (EV) drivers' acceptance of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging. The study takes a qualitative approach in order to provide insight into actual EV users' perceptions of V2G technology and their underlying motivation to accept or not accept V2G. The Theory of Planned Behaviour is adopted to create a basic conceptual model of the potential factors influencing users' acceptance of V2G. Twenty semi-structured interviews are conducted among Dutch EV drivers, including both regular EV drivers, as well as participants who had previously taken part in V2G projects. The factors that are found to be most important for fostering acceptance are financial compensation, transparent communication and reliable control of the system by the user. On the other hand, the factors that are found to have a negative effect on acceptance are range anxiety, discomfort experienced while participating and battery degradation. Our study shows that the majority of our interview participants accept V2G albeit with some reservations and caution. As EVs and V2G are new technologies, our sample of twenty actual EV users consists of early adopters. As such, their attitudes may not reflect those of the majority of future users. However, our study suggests that there are EV users who are willing to use V2G charge points and will continue to do so. The reasons behind such user acceptance are further described in the study together with additional insights and ideas for future research.

Revisiting the energy justice framework: Doing justice to normative uncertainties

N. Van Uffelen, B. Taebi, Udo Pesch

Summary: Energy justice is often approached through the four tenets of procedural, distributive, restorative and recognition justice, but further normative substantiations are needed. The scholarly literature largely ignores normative uncertainties in energy justice, leading to different normative conclusions. A revisited energy justice framework is proposed to articulate the normative uncertainties in principles and tenets, ultimately improving the quality and legitimacy of normative conclusions and policy recommendations.

Institutions of justice and intuitions of fairness: contesting goods, rules and inequalities

Udo Pesch

Summary: This paper examines the intrinsic relation between institutions and social justice, arguing that processes of institutionalization lead to justice demands from societal groups and subsequent institutional redesign. 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.

An urban planning perspective on enhancing electric vehicle (EV) adoption: Evidence from Beijing

Huaxiong Jiang, Haoran Xu, Qingfang Liu, Liang Ma, Jinping Song

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.
