Abstract
The authors propose a model for examining the moderating effect of government regulations on electric vehicles and their infrastructure in India. The model was tested empirically using data collected from 101 respondents. Principal component analysis and mediation analysis were employed to analyze the data using JASP 0.17.2.1 (Apple Silicon) software package. Findings based on interaction support the hypothesis that government regulations concerning the manufacturing of electric vehicles, standards and specification of EVs and EV batteries, subsidies, and incentives by central and state governments support. In other words, the potentially negative aftermaths of the lumbering infrastructure of EVs can be controlled and reduced when government regulations concerning infrastructure are implemented meticulously. The research study highlights the theoretical and practical implications of the findings, as well as recommendations for future studies, are suggested.
