Abstract: Widespread adoption of electric vehicles will relieve us from problems such as environmental pollution, global warming and oil dependency. However, the usage of EV is relatively low in spite of many governments implementing strong promotion policies. This paper presents a understandable review of studies on consumer preferences for EV, aiming to better inform policy-makers and give direction to further research. First, we compare the psychological and economic approach towards this topic, followed by a conceptual work of EV preferences which is then implemented to organise our review. We also consider the modelling techniques applied in the selected studies. Estimates of consumer preferences for financial, technical, infrastructure and policy attributes are then considered. A categorisation of main factors for consumer preferences into groups such as socio-economic variables, psychological factors, mobility condition, social influence, etc. is then made and their impacts are briefly explained. Finally, we discuss a research agenda to improve EV consumer preference studies and give suggestions for further research.
