On the basis of 143 responses from experts and stakeholders from Germany, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK, we assess the perceived impact of a range of incentives for the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs). We find that the incentive that most respondents consider to have a positive impact is the development of charging infrastructure, with 75% stating so. This is followed by purchase subsidies, to narrow the difference in price of an EV and that of an internal combustion engine vehicle, with 68% of respondents stating that they have a strong or at least a partial positive impact. Pilot/trial/demonstrations of EVs, to expose potential buyers to EVs, are also perceived to have a positive effect, with 66% of respondents stating so. Tax incentives, which like purchase subsidies, narrow the gap between the total operating cost of an EV and that of a conventional vehicle, are also perceived to have a positive impact by 65% of respondents. Other incentives that are perceived to have a positive influence include climate change and air quality policies, consumer information schemes and differential taxation applied to various fuels and energy vectors.

根据来自德国，奥地利，西班牙，荷兰和英国的专家和利益相关者的143项答复，我们评估了一系列激励措施对电动汽车（EV）的使用的感知影响。我们发现，大多数受访者认为产生积极影响的诱因是充电基础设施的发展，有75％的受访者表示如此。其次是购买补贴，以缩小电动汽车和内燃汽车的价格之间的差异，有68％的受访者表示，它们具有强烈的或至少部分的积极影响。电动汽车的试点/试行/示范使潜在购买者接触电动汽车，也被认为具有积极作用，有66％的受访者表示如此。税收优惠，例如购买补贴，缩小电动汽车与传统汽车的总运营成本之间的差距，也被65％的受访者认为有积极影响。被认为具有积极影响的其他激励措施包括气候变化和空气质量政策，消费者信息计划以及适用于各种燃料和能源载体的差别税。
