A benefit-cost analysis of electric vehicle deployment in New York examines three cases: a base case, a high-infrastructure costs case, and a behaviour modification case.
Behaviour modification? Sounds a bit leftist-dystopian, no? It's actually just a case with financial incentives for charging one's car during off-peak electricity demand periods.
Yes, incentives modify behaviour. But calling it an Incentive-based case would just sound less authoritarian.
Which, I cynically suspect, is why they chose not to.
