Table 5 presents the results of the multiple regression analysis using SEM techniques. It has been found that ECNs are negatively and significantly related to PIN of EVs at p < 0.01. An R2 = 0.56 in Figure 1 indicates that attitude towards ECNs of purchasing EVs can explain about 56 per cent of the variance in PIN the same car. Hence, H1a is not supported. This finding is not consistent with that of Follows and Jobber (2000), which found that ECNs are positively related to environmentally responsible PIN.
