Understanding the socio-technical nexus of Nordic electric vehicle (EV) barriers: A qualitative discussion of range, price, charging and knowledge
Open accessAbstract
Electric vehicles are perceived as a key alternate to internal combustion engine vehicles for a transition to a decarbonized society. However, this transition towards the electrification of transport has not made equal progress globally, and faced several impediments to consumer adoption of EVs across the Nordic region and beyond. While there has been a multitude of reasons provided in the literature, we aim to characterize the barriers that remain to electrification today, as well as their perceived interconnections and futures. To provide insight into this query, the authors conducted 227 semi-structured interviews with transportation and electricity experts from 201 institutions across seventeen cities in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The qualitative results and consequent cluster analysis show that common barriers like range, price and charging infrastructure continue to persist, despite technological advancements over the recent years. At the same time, results also show that barriers are highly interconnected and are commonly connected to consumer knowledge and experience. The article concludes with a discussion of policy implications of the findings and potential future research.

TL;DR
This paper uses 227 expert interviews across five Nordic countries to map electric vehicle barriers and argues that range, price, public charging, and consumer knowledge form an interconnected socio-technical nexus. It finds that technical/economic barriers persist but are often rooted in consumer knowledge and experience, so policy should address the nexus rather than single barriers.
Key findings
- The interviews identified 53 barrier categories; the four most discussed were range (59.9% of experts), price (57.3%), public charging infrastructure (48.5%), and consumer knowledge/mental barriers (41.9%). Each expert suggested on average over 4 barriers.
- Range was the single most discussed barrier, but 18% of experts said it was either not or soon would not be a barrier (12% soon, 6% already); many linked range anxiety to consumer knowledge rather than technical insufficiency, noting EVs can meet well over 90% of trips. Price was often seen as a capital-cost problem despite better total cost of ownership, with 12.3% saying it was not or soon would not be a barrier. Public charging was framed as a “chicken and egg” problem; 12% called it not a barrier, and over 80% of those said it was already not a barrier.
- Barriers varied by country and expertise: Norway had much lower price concern (22%) than other Nordics (56–78%); Denmark had high concern about lack of consumer incentives (61%) and EV taxes (59%); Sweden had high concern about consumer knowledge (67%) and apartment charging (43%). Transport/city planning experts discussed consumer knowledge most (51%), while energy/electricity experts discussed it least (28%).
- Apartment charging was discussed by 21.6% of experts and was seen as a persistent barrier, less connected to the mental-barrier nexus and harder to resolve through information alone.
Methods
- The authors conducted 227 semi-structured interviews with participants from 201 institutions across seventeen cities in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden from September 2016 to May 2017; the methods section says 15 cities, while the abstract and appendix say 17. Experts came from government, regulators, universities, utilities, automakers/dealerships, private companies, and industry/civil society groups.
- Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded in NVIVO using grounded theory, with themes derived from the data rather than predetermined. A cluster analysis using Jaccard’s coefficient of similarity was used to visualize coded theme connections and the proposed barrier nexus.
- The study used qualitative analysis and did not commence with preformed hypotheses.
Limitations
- Paper-stated: the nonrandom sample was limited by English-speaking participants, locations visited, and potential selection bias; respondents may have given socially desirable answers, deliberately tried to sway results, or suffered poor recall; qualitative responses were difficult to code. The authors attempted to mitigate these by validating with a literature review and triangulating responses.
- Evident from the text: the study captures expert perceptions, not consumer behavior directly; the sample skews male (80.5%) and is unevenly distributed by country (Norway 26.1%, Iceland 14.0%), which may shape the reported barrier frequencies.

Section 3.1 says the four countries’ average daily driving distances can be supported by current EV technologies, and Tables 2–3 show that more than 90% of vehicle-days fall below some distance thresholds. But those tables measure daily distance per vehicle, not the percentage of individual trips within an EV’s range; the paper does not establish the quoted percentage for trips. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The Introduction (page unavailable) reports that auto consumers appear to value discounted future gasoline costs less than purchase price under specified assumptions, and §5.4.3 gives an implied discount rate above the paper’s baseline rate. But §B.1 says that an implied rate may reflect beliefs, time horizons, or inattention rather than consumers’ actual discount rates. The paper therefore does not establish that private individuals are irrational over discount rates. (LLM, conf=0.85)

In “Building the Laboratory,” the paper contrasts the expectation of a ubiquitous public charging network with its finding that most charging occurred at home and work. “What Have We Learned?” recommends concentrating public chargers at locations with high demand, rather than building an everywhere network. It does not suggest that public charging is unnecessary altogether. (LLM, conf=0.91)

The Introduction reports that, under the paper’s assumptions, automobile buyers’ behavior implies a discount rate just under 15 percent for future gasoline costs. But the Empirical Strategy section cautions that an implied discount rate need not be consumers’ actual discount rate, and the Conclusion notes that estimates vary with assumptions and vehicle age. The paper therefore supports apparent undervaluation of future fuel savings in its setting, not the unqualified claim that consumers typically discount future savings highly. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Introduction describes the Nordic countries as wealthy and their energy and climate policies as highly ambitious; §3.3, Transport, describes substantial transport-electrification goals (page numbers not supplied). But the paper does not rank the countries on indicators favoring EV diffusion or establish that consumers can afford EVs. Section 4.2 instead notes relatively slow EV diffusion across the region.

“As such, much of the current literature looks to explain the barriers that individual consumers encounter when purchasing EVs, either using qualitative methods (Egbue and Long, 2012;Schuitema et al., 2013;Franke and Krems, 2013), or also commonly, choice experiments to analyze willingness-to-pay for electric vehicles (Jensen et al., 2013;Noel et al., 2019;Hidrue et al., 2011).”

Section 3.1 (page not provided) reports that average daily driving is under 50 km in all four Nordic countries and can be supported by current EV technology. It also finds that most vehicles travel short daily distances. The paper does not attribute range concerns to a lack of knowledge or experience, or report experts' views on that barrier.

“The complexity of the nexus of sociotechnical barriers discussed above arguably requires a more comprehensive approach of combining policy processes, elements and characteristics to develop a consistent and coherent EV policy mix (Grubb et al., 2017;Rogge and Reichardt, 2016).”

In “2. Context and links to existing literature” (page unavailable), Grubb et al. describe policy elements, processes and characteristics, including consistency and coherence. “A map for the evolution of policy packages” explains why complex barriers call for policy mixes that address multiple obstacles. The paper supports the general approach, but does not specifically establish what an EV policy mix requires. (LLM, conf=0.84)
- Supportedcites Rogge and Reichardt, 2016 source
The paper describes its policy-mix framework as combining elements, policy processes and characteristics (Source passage). Its Conclusion (§5) advises improving the consistency of policy-mix elements and the coherence of policy processes, and adopting a system perspective. The citing authors apply that general approach to EV policy; they do not attribute an EV-specific finding to this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites Allcott and Wozny, 2014 sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Introduction and Conclusion (page numbers unavailable) report that, under the paper’s base assumptions, consumers value $1 in discounted future gasoline costs at only 76 cents in vehicle purchase price. That supports the claim that purchase price receives greater weight than future fuel costs, though the paper notes uncertainty in the estimate. It does not compare ICEVs with electric vehicles or establish which is least costly over the medium to long term. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
