This report explains the market adopting potential for electrically powered passenger vehicles (EVs) and the impacts associated with adopting scenarios are examined. The market analyzed is the Chicago metropolitan area from now through the year 2000. Estimates of the size of the maximum potential EV adopter population are derived from an analysis of demographics, housing characteristics and automobile use patterns. A dynamic relative cost model is used to analyze the various cost components of the EV and a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle to yield the year of cost parity between the two.
