The effect of information overload on the intention of consumers to adopt electric vehicles
Abstract To encourage the pro-electric vehicle (EV) behavioral intentions of consumers, EV manufacturers should make a significant commitment to EV-related information and devise strategic planning on how to release that information. However, information overload theory suggests that abundant information may result in information overload problem beyond a threshold, thereby decreasing final behavioral intentions. The analysis uses a questionnaire survey involving 619 respondents to investigate relationships among EV-related information characteristics, information overload, and pro-EV behavioral intentions of consumers. Results show that the quantity and quality of EV-related information can affect the information overload of consumers. By contrast, the perceived information overload of consumers can exert a negative impact on their pro-EV behavioral intentions. In addition, consumers with different levels of EV product knowledge and information processing capabilities may encounter diverse degrees of perceived information overload.
