Intentions to Charge Electric Vehicles Using Vehicle-to-Grid Technology among People with Different Motivations to Save Energy

This article presents the results of a quantitative survey conducted on 4000 electric energy consumers in Spain, France, Italy, and Denmark. The demonstrate differences effects additional remuneration for using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) stations, depending users’ reasons saving electricity. Individuals with extrinsic financial motivations are sensitive to such incentives; higher is, more willingness they use V2G. Although individuals intrinsic (the desire control spending) ecological (caring environment) also interested V2G, no relationship can be observed between sizes rewards individuals’ technology. Users similarly encouraged by low (an extra 2.5% free) high 20%) rewards. In contrast, who display general modesty (willingness not waste things) may even discouraged: reward, less interest illustrates how different types motivation affect innovative V2G concept, as well underlining importance constructing altruistic process education.
