Keywords:
User Adoption, New Energy Vehicles, Economic DevelopmentAbstract
Environmental issues have sparked a new scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation trend. China, at the forefront, has boldly outlined the national strategy for developing new energy vehicles (NEV). In a remarkable display of initiative, auto and IT manufacturers have collaborated closely, striving to promote industrial development. Their concerted efforts have yielded significant results, propelling NEVs into a development trend in the automobile market, bolstered by national policies. This study, conducted through an online questionnaire distributed to 385 participants in Guizhou, delves into the impact of NEV development on the Guizhou economy and strategies to manage consumer acceptance. The findings underscore that factors influencing economic, functional, and social values significantly impact user adoption of NEV, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive NEV adoption in Guizhou.References
