Purchase subsidies for 100% zero-emissions vehicle sales goals: Effectiveness, government cost, and supplier capture by Chandan Bhardwaj, Jonn Axsen

“…However, it is unclear if subsidies alone can effectively and efficiently achieve ambitious long-term ZEV sales goals, such as the 100% by 2035 target adopted by numerous developed countries. To shed insight on subsidy impacts under consumer-supplier dynamics, we use a technology adoption model (AUM) that endogenously represents consumer preferences for (and purchases of) light-duty passenger ZEVs, and automaker decision-making about ZEV pricing, innovation activities, and charger deployment. …”
