Although electric vehicles (EVs) have considerably evolved in the past decade and are a viable option for most of the drivers' needs, adoption remains small when compared to conventional fuel vehicles. Mobility concerns remain one of the most important barriers to EV adoption. This study explores variables that influence the mobility concerns from a consumer perspective: the preference on the type of charging point, the availability of a second conventional car, and the presence of advanced range management systems. We complemented the literature review with results from 17 in-depth interviews with conventional fuel vehicle drivers concerning their perceptions and attitudes on EVs in order to build a set of propositions of study. The study further analyses gaps in the EV literature and discusses new venues for future research. Additionally, findings provide recommendations for practice in improving EVs adoption.
