About Paper:

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) presents numerous benefits, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. However, ensuring EV safety is crucial, particularly in low-income areas where accessibility and liability concerns are pronounced. Addressing liability concerns is vital to foster the adoption and safe usage of EVs in low-income areas. Proactive collaboration between these stakeholders can help delineate liability responsibilities, ensuring that all parties involved are held accountable for negligence or malfunctions. Prioritizing electric vehicle safety in low-income areas necessitates concerted efforts to address liability concerns, enhance safety measures, and promote accessibility. This study will examine participants perceived safety concerns factoring in the ownership of an electric vehicles. Further, this study will seek to identify potential perceived liability concerns that factor into EV ownership. This study will survey participants from low-income communities who have an interest in EV ownership one day to see how factors outside of affordability weigh in EV ownership. The research questions guiding this study include 1.) What safety concerns do aspiring EV owners from low-income communities have in before purchasing an EV? and 2.) What other liability issues exist for aspiring EV owners from low-income areas?
