Abstract
Potential differences among developed and emerging countries
regarding the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) adoption are highlighted in the
literature. However, most studies focus on factors influencing BEV penetration in
mature markets. In this paper, we explore the spatial adoption of electric vehicles
and its determinants using data from Hungary, an emerging country. We show
that spatial heterogeneities in the adoption rates of BEVs are important. Without
taking these heterogeneities into account, only the fast chargers exhibit significant
positive effects on BEV registration rate. We show that other local conditions, such
as income and urbanization are also important factors explaining the new BEV
registration rate.
