This objective implies the introduction into the EU car market of low-polluting cars, such as cars powered by an electric battery (BEV). The current research was guided by the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The intention to buy a BEV has been measured, as well as the major TPB constructs, namely attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. In addition, we were interested to understand the influence of individuals\u2019 uncertainty on the intention to buy a BEV. Data collected through an online survey (N = 335) were analyzed by means of a multiple mediation model, involving the three TPB constructs as parallel mediators. Results show that (1) attitude (\u03b2 = 0.67), subjective norm (\u03b2 = 0.23), and perceived behavioral control (\u03b2 = 0.22) significantly predict the intention to buy BEVs; (2) uncertainty has a significant negative indirect effect (b = \u22120.03) on intention via perceived behavioral control. Results are discussed in relation to previous research and possible practical implications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su15118548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T02:58:48Z","timestamp":1684983528000},"page":"8548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Consumer Intention to Buy Electric Cars: Integrating Uncertainty in the Theory of Planned Behavior"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Roberta","family":"Riverso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Political Science, University of Naples Federico II, Via Rodin\u00f2 22\/a, 80138 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carmela","family":"Altamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Political Science, University of Naples Federico II, Via Rodin\u00f2 22\/a, 80138 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"La Barbera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Political Science, University of Naples Federico II, Via Rodin\u00f2 22\/a, 80138 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1007\/s11069-016-2294-0","article-title":"Learning from the History of Disaster Vulnerability and Resilience Research and Practice for Climate Change","volume":"82","author":"Kelman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
