Abstract

The aim of this study is to ascertain how social system norms mediate the relationship between other exogenous variables and Nigerian civil servants' adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). It is a descriptive research design cross-sectional study. Data from a sample of 924 respondents in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, was gathered through a survey. A 5-point Likert scale was used in the questionnaire's design. The study used structural equation model for data analysis after random sampling was employed to collect the data. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and SmartPLS V4.0.9.5 were used to perform both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that social system norms have a positive and significant mediating function on perceived certainty, ease of use, knowledge, relative advantage, subjective norms, usefulness, and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), with the exception of perceived compatibility with deviant relationships. We recommend that civil servants be encouraged by government policy to form cooperative societies so they can obtain financing for the purchase of electric vehicles at subsidised prices.
