The results show that certain macro trends in country differences can be seen at the micro-level of the #consumer - and indicate that consumers may perceive innovations in private #Mobility as environmental solutions, but their adoption could replicate car-dependent patterns.

We apply a framework of consumer engagement with #automobility and find that Canadians have significantly higher levels of Car Dependence and Car Identity, relative to Germans - but are also more concerned about the #environmental impacts of car use.

Canada has higher levels of car ownership, car #commuters, and urban sprawl, and lower levels of #ElectricVehicle and carshare adoption, relative to Germany. We investigate if these macro trends are replicated at the micro level of the consumer - a 🧵

New modeling research from @JonnAxsen and Chandan Bhardwaj compares policy pathways to reach 100% ZEV sales by 2035 - of the policies evaluated, a ZEV mandate is the most effective way to achieve the goal, with least uncertainty. Read the full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

What to do? Current fuel efficiency standards are less stringent for SUVs, so a policy that applied equally across vehicle sizes would more fairly target vehicle downsizing as a compliance pathway - while facing less opposition.

New research from @JonnAxsen & @Zoe_E_Long explores what attracts drivers to SUVs and what might motivate SUV drivers to downsize. Spoiler: it's likely to take strong policy to change the trend towards SUVs Read the full article: doi.org/10.1016/j.erss…

To reverse the trend, pricing policies that make SUVs more expensive relative to smaller cars are most likely to motivate a SUV driver to downsize. But, financial disincentives and taxes face high levels of public opposition and are politically unpopular.

In particular, we found social norms surrounding SUVs to play a large role in motivating and maintaining SUV interest. Participants told us that SUVs are seen as "normal" and the "right thing to do" - changing these social norms could be difficult.

START's @Zoe_E_Long explains a few of the challenges we face in achieving net zero emissions in transport. Above all we need policy to legislate GHG reductions and provide a long term transformational signal.

New research finds that consumers' concern about car impacts on society is associated with their interest in #shared, #automated and #electric mobility technologies. Congrats @gauer_h on a stellar first PhD study! Read the open access article: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

Novel research from @SFU_START explores the link between consumer engagement with aspects of automobility and consumer interest in shared, automated, and electric mobility. The paper - my first PhD study - was recently published in TRD: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

Check out @Zoe_E_Long talking about the #EV market potential in Canada. Canada needs announced policies to be implemented and sustained to meet ambitious targets.
The Big Story Podcast@thebigstoryfpn

Research shows hundreds of thousands of Canadians would like to purchase electric vehicles, but can’t afford them, can’t find them, or don’t have access to charging stations. Will we fix this? @zoe_e_long, Research Manager for @SFU_START on @thebigstoryfpn link.chtbl.com/TheBigStoryCYO…

We surveyed and talked to SUV drivers - they love their SUVs and aren't interested in downsizing. We find that their attraction to SUVs is about safety, space, and social status. Thanks @DavidSuzukiFDN for featuring our research! rabble.ca/environment/su…
