Yet, it is surrounded by uncertainty result-ing in companies adopting a wait-and-see attitude regarding the introduction of electric vehicles (EV). This paper’s aim is to study what motivates companies in the Netherlands to introduce EV in their organisations. Interviews are conducted and analysed. It appeared that the framework of motivations is incomplete and is therefore extended with the innovation characteristics. They represent the necessary conditions which must be met for companies to accept and introduce a technology like EV. Concluded is that innovation characteristics strengthen the motivations of companies to introduce EV. Using the proposed framework, recommendations are made to motivate companies to introduce EV.
