Abstract

This work describes the development of an agent-based simulation that is an Adoption Dynamics Analysis Model for Electric Vehicles (ADAM & EV). ADAM & EV supports stakeholders in understanding the electric mobility landscape and the possible effects on policies. The model takes a consumer perspective by focusing in-depth on the consumer decision making process following the Theory of Planned Behaviour. In this work, we discuss the structure and interface of the model, and shortly discuss a few initial outcomes such as the consequence that stimulating BEVs increases emissions in the short-term when taking into account manufacturing emissions.
