Electric vehicle demand and electricity prices shocks Umeå University, Sweden This study estimates the causal impact of the recent years' high electricity prices on electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Utilizing Swedish registry data and leveraging regional discontinuities in electricity prices, I demonstrate that higher electricity prices reduce EV demand, but also the demand for combustion-engine vehicles through the income effect. Additionally, I explore heterogeneity in price responsiveness, and show that the sensitivity to prices is surprisingly similar across consumer types. Based on these findings, I explore a counterfactual policy that reduces electricity prices for EV buyers, and show that under plausible assumptions, this policy is less cost-effective in boosting EV demand compared to subsidies for EV purchases or charging infrastructure. | |
