Many previous studies evaluated actual situational factors for adopting environmental friendly
vehicles. If some situations will be realized soon or we want to test the feedback from consumers in
some situations (e.g., electric vehicles could benefit from cheap electricity), employing the expected
situational factors could help researchers obtain the outcomes of such situations. It can provide a more
realistic feedback for policy makers and commercial marketers to consider before taking actions. This
research model tests the situational factors (perception of environmental policy and perception of
economic benefit) that consumers are looking for. The results of the data analysis indicate that two
expected situational factors play important roles in the adoption of full electric vehicles as discussed
above. This study also explores the interrelationships among four factors and the user’s behavioural
intention towards full electric vehicles (as shown in Figure 2). This study contributes a research model
that can be further investigated to explain the causal effects of these four factors for the adoption of
other environmental technologies
