Increasing electric vehicle policy efficiency and effectiveness by reducing mainstream market bias

Summary

Erin Green, Steven Skerlos and James Winebrake argue that U.S. electric vehicle policies are inefficient and ineffective. They introduce “mainstream consumer bias” as an explanation for policy deficiencies and propose an alternative policy agenda to address some of these policy problems. Proposed policy options include strategic niche management, targeted R&D and incentives, and loans.
