Electromobility options, especially electric vehicles (EVs) are more environmentally friendly, efficient and economical than conventional vehicles (CVs). There is a low market penetration of EVs and associated vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies in Australia compared to some European countries like Norway. Thus, transport planners and electrical grid policymakers need to investigate commuters’ perceptions and behaviours related to EVs and V2G and the effects of incentives, as commuters will eventually switch from CVs to EVs. Our study investigated commuters’ perceptions of and attitudes to V2G technology adoption at workplaces. The main findings are: 1) Commuters are willing to reduce their upfront costs when adopting EVs and associated V2G technologies. 2) Commuters want to reduce their daily transportation costs by using V2G technologies and care less about transport sustainability. 3) The greatest concerns of employers are that the cost of the V2G technology which could be too high and that its internal rate of return is unclear.

电动汽车，尤其是电动汽车 (EV)，比传统汽车 (CV) 更加环保、高效和经济。与挪威等一些欧洲国家相比，澳大利亚的电动汽车和相关车辆到电网 (V2G) 技术的市场渗透率较低。因此，交通规划者和电网政策制定者需要调查通勤者对电动汽车和 V2G 的看法和行为以及激励措施的影响，因为通勤者最终将从 CV 转向 EV。我们的研究调查了通勤者对工作场所采用 V2G 技术的看法和态度。主要发现是：1）通勤者在采用电动汽车和相关的 V2G 技术时愿意降低他们的前期成本。2) 通勤者希望通过使用 V2G 技术来降低日常交通成本，而不太关心交通的可持续性。3）雇主最担心的是V2G技术的成本可能太高，其内部回报率不明确。
