| Sumario: | The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the co-adoption of EMS installed in residential single- or multi-family buildings linked to PV and EV charging stations in Switzerland by means of a statistical analysis of an already done survey, and compare them to the factors influencing the adoption of both PV and EV, i.e. compared to the situation where only one of these technologies was implemented. Several are the main contributions of this study: (i) analyzing the influencing factors of EMS co-adopted with other technologies; (ii) comparing the factors influencing the adoption process of different energy technologies; (iii) the influence of the existing energy technology stock in buildings (i.g. heat pump, hot water boiler) on the technology adoption of EMS, PV and EV; (iv) the integration of the co-adoption decision within a conceptual model integrating several theories which model individuals’ behavior and technology adoption decision processes. The results indicate that PV is key for the diffusion of both EMS and EV, and that EMS co-adopters share characteristics in a higher measure with PV adopters, but also with EV adopters. Overall, information is found to be a crucial lever to promote energy technologies, jointly with creating a favorable legal framework and regulations, and making certain infrastructural changes |
