Abstract/Executive Summary

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the Philippines remains at an early stage despite the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), which introduced fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to encourage cleaner transport. This study aimed to examine whether Fiscal Incentives Awareness, Non-Fiscal Incentives Awareness, Charging Infrastructure Perception, and Concern on Upfront Cost significantly influence EV Adoption Intention among urban consumers in San Fernando, Pampanga. It also sought to determine whether Consumer Satisfaction with Government Policies mediates these relationships. The study employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlational research design. Data were gathered through a structured survey administered via Google Forms and printed questionnaires. Out of 170 total responses, 103 valid cases met the screening criteria and were included in the final analysis. Descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and mediation analysis using PROCESS Macro Model 4 in IBM SPSS Statistics were applied. The findings revealed that Fiscal Incentives Awareness and Charging Infrastructure Perception significantly predicted EV Adoption Intention, while Non-Fiscal Incentives Awareness and Concern on Upfront Cost did not show significant direct effects. The mediation analysis further showed that Consumer Satisfaction with Government Policies did not significantly mediate any of the tested relationships. The study concludes that EV adoption intention among urban consumers is shaped more by selected direct evaluations of incentives and infrastructure conditions than by general satisfaction with government policy implementation. These findings suggest that stronger policy execution, clearer communication, and more credible infrastructure support are necessary to improve EV adoption in the Philippine urban context.

From Policy to Practice: The Significance of EVIDA in Shaping Electric Vehicle Adoption Behavior in Philippine Urban Markets
