Abstract

Within the framework of sustainable development and the reduction of the use of passenger cars as a mechanism for the preservation of the environment and the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals, this paper analyses the purchase intention of electric vehicles according to the postulates of the Theory of Reasoned Action and the advances of other previous research, using structural equation methodology, it is found that purchase intentions are determined by attitudes and perceived control. In contrast, social norms are not found to be significant. This work contributes to research in this field because its results indicate that personal reasons outweigh social norms and can therefore overcome cultural and value differences in different societies so that individual environmental awareness would prevail even in countries less committed to ecological sustainability.
