Abstract
This paper develops a discrete-continuous model to examine the ownership and usage of electric vehicles in the household. The impact of the ownership and usage of ordinary vehicles is taken into consideration. 5766 stated preference data concerning purchasing electric vehicles in the Chukyo region in Japan are utilized as the research sample. The monthly mileages of ordinary and electric vehicles are measured by a Tobit model, respectively. The ordinary vehicle ownership is measured by an ordered probit model, while the electric vehicle ownership is measured by a binary probit model. Gibbs sampler algorithm is used to estimate four jointed equations. The result shows that there is a substitution effect between two types of vehicles in the ownership and usage. The price, capacity, range and charging rate in the gas station impact both the ownership and usage of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, charging time does not affect either the ownership or usage.
