IGES Rural Mobility and Electric Vehicle Adoption Survey (Japan), 2025 — Responses and SEM Output

This dataset contains anonymized responses from a nationwide online household survey conducted in Japan to examine determinants of electric vehicle (EV) adoption intention, with particular relevance to rural mobility, charging infrastructure readiness, and social influence. The survey includes demographic and travel-behavior measures alongside Likert-scale items capturing perceived charging infrastructure satisfaction, social influence, perceived sustainability/resilience value of EVs, and EV adoption intention. The dataset supports structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses reported in the associated manuscript on EV adoption strategies in rural Japan.

The deposit includes the survey responses in both CSV and SPSS (.sav) formats, as well as the AMOS output file used for SEM estimation and model fit evaluation. Variables are provided as collected; the Likert scale is coded 1 = agree to 4 = disagree (not reverse-coded). The AMOSOutput file contains model estimation results and fit statistics generated from the deposited survey data.

Recommended use: replication of SEM results, robustness checks, and secondary analysis of EV adoption intentions and related perceptions in Japan.
