Abstract
To reduce the impacts of climate change, there is an interest in significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from personal transportation in the United States. The adoption of hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV) are alternatives to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) that generate fewer direct emissions, and U.S. policy is currently poised to support the increased adoption of these vehicles. This study aims to determine underlying factors that influence the purchase of these vehicles and how challenges in the automotive market may limit their efficacy. A panel ordinary least squares consumer demand model is formed using panel data from 2016 to 2022 with cross-section data from the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.
