... 7 CHAPTER 2 BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW TO SUPPORT MODELING SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT 2.1 METHODOLOGY FOR LITERATURE REVIEW The objective of the literature review was to quickly gain insight into key factors affecting ZEV adoption, and how those could be represented by MA3T in our analysis. The objective of this literature review is not to complete a comprehensive review of all literature available; based on collaborative input from the panel, the research team identified approximately 30 resources that were well-suited to developing variables required by the MA3T model.

... 14 ATVs represented 7.0% of the annual market share, while BEVs and FCEVs combined represented 2.5% of the market share. ATV market share is greatest in California, where they represented approximately 9.8% of all vehicles registered in the state between 2013 and 2018, and approximately 12% in 2018 alone.

... 20 • States that offer the largest tax credits to offset the price of ATVs in 2019 do not have the largest market share of ATVs. For example, as of 2019, Colorado offered the highest incentives for ATV purchases of any state, with incentives valued at approximately $7,500 for a BEV, but ATVs have a relatively low market share in that state (about 5% in 2018)

... 21 • Battery costs continue to decline at a fast rate. Researchers have found that between 2010 and 2016, battery cost declined by 19.5% per year, and that costs will continue to decline by 9.7% per year between 2016 and 2025, and by 7.7% per year between 2025 and 2030 (Beacon Economics 2018)
