In three conjoint experiments with 100 Belgian participants each, the present study explores consumer responses to different types of anticipated experience, that is, sensory, behavioural and intellectual, to design and position electric cars. It attempts to identify specific product attributes that are capable of evoking these three types of experiences. The results show that, on the basis of the design elements used in this study, cars can be positioned as distinctly sensory or intellectual, but not behavioural. However, at the same time, different experiential propositions mainly trigger 'a lot' or 'little' experiences of different kinds instead of clearly differentiated evoked experiences. Besides a theoretical test of the dimensionality of anticipated brand experiences, the study provides managerial insights on how to differentiate and position electric cars based on these anticipated brand experiences
