Abstract
The popularity of electric vehicles is evidenced by the broad range of manufacturers presenting new models of plug-in hybrid and battery vehicles. However, the success of the revolution or, rather, the rebirth of electric vehicles, is hanging by a thread, as it lacks the involvement of a large number of users, and many psychological mechanisms hinder it. What are users’ true feelings about this new world of vehicles? Are people ready for the fifth level of automation, i.e., fully automatic driving and the absence of the driving position? The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the psychological aspects that influence the adoption of electric vehicles. Topics such as the chicken and egg paradox (electric vehicles and charging stations) and performance anxiety (regarding, e.g., range) are addressed. This review is characterized by contradictions and irony.

Board determined thea dendrite the anode to an theinternal separator, and thereby generating short probable path, causelinking of this incident was short circuit within a cell ofinternal the auxiliary power unit lithium-ion battery, whichduring led to discharging, thermal runaway that cascaded to circuits
The occurrence of spontaneous internal short circuits takes a long time to evolve from Level I to Level III, so the battery management system can interrupt the discharge before Level III is reached, and the car can be evacuated, which requires 30 s, after an accident
This review reported data present in the technical literature and discussed the most This review reported data present in the technical literature and discussed the most curious aspects that fall within the spheres of our daily life
Summary
A scientific aspect lies in the fact that the European Commission requires the use of an acoustic alarm, but the rules of the game imply that it is more important to perceive the performance of the vehicle than the vehicle itself. This is the first paradox that we meet when approaching the world of electric cars.
