Synergizing Green Transitions: Exploring EV Usage Risks in South India through the UTAUT2 Model by Sailatha Karpurapu, J. Naga Venkata Raghuram

“…Due to perceived risks, many users are hesitant to use electric vehicles despite their potential benefits. to develop and empirically test a model that forecasts the elements that affect consumers' acceptance of electric vehicles, the research aims to construct and empirically validate a model. The risk factor plays a significant role in behavioral intentions and usage of EVs in the South Indian context, as assessed through the reworked United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT). 430 electric vehicle (EV) owners living in South India were surveyed and survey data was analyzed using a variance-based structural equation model (SEM). …”
