Abstract: The electric vehicle (EV) presents many advantages when compared to the internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV): lower lifecycle energy consumption, operating costs, air and noise emissions. Conversely, it also has disadvantages: high purchase price, reduced driving range and insufficient charging system (long charging time and low network coverage). Car purchase behaviour is a well-studied process where explanatory models estimate the discrete choice probability of each alternative of the choice set based on car and consumers (socioeconomic) attributes.
