Os consumidores estão se a tornar cada vez mais responsáveis e a praticar ações sustentáveis, aumentando a consciencialização, e a desempenhar um papel crucial na sociedade, de forma a reduzir a pegada de carbono, reduzir gastos desnecessários e evitar prejudicar o ambiente. Os veículos elétricos são vistos como altamente sustentáveis, por não emitirem carbono para a atmosfera. No entanto, a sua produção é pouco sustentável, como é o caso das baterias. Assim sendo, o objetivo deste estudo é explorar quais as razões por detrás da intenção de compra dos consumidores em relação a veículos elétricos. Devido ao seu crescimento nos últimos anos, este é um tema que tem estado a ser bastante explorado. Portanto, o tópico ganha importância na perspetiva de perceber quais são os fatores de Incentivo ou as Barreiras que os consumidores consideram determinantes na sua decisão de compra e se os mesmos diferem de acordo com o Género ou Experiência. A metodologia utilizada foi quantitativa e foi recolhida informação através de um inquérito online a pessoas residentes em Portugal. Os resultados revelam que a característica mais relevante que influencia a intenção de compra é o facto destes veículos serem amigos do ambiente. Por outro lado, preço de compra elevado revelou ser a principal barreira à aquisição destes veículos. Além disso, alguns inquiridos mencionaram o facto de os veículos elétricos não serem tão verdes como são retratados. No que toca ao Género e à Experiência, apenas os fatores de Incentivo à compra estabeleceram relação com estas variáveis.Ribeiro, Rita Moura Bastos de AlmeidaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaPinheiro, Joana Bacelar Magalhães Carneiro2024-01-16T18:40:38Z2023-10-132023-092023-10-13T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/43611TID:203439171enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-23T01:43:43Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/43611Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:56:28.388567Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
