The question of how we can transfer our mobility solutions towards more eco-friendly technologies is eminent and of increased importance to reach global emission goals. This work emphasizes on the recent market success of small and light electric vehicles (Mini-EVs) in mainland China, which are designed to fulfil the basic needs on urban mobility. As a similar diffusion of this type of vehicle is yet to be shown in developed countries despite increasing effort in broader electrification of mobility, this work investigates the question whether this class of vehicles is applicable to the consumer needs of a developed country - in this specific case Germany - in the shade of the necessities of future sustainable individual mobility, especially in the urban area. Withing a selected framework of the UTAUT2, this type of vehicle is introduced to German customers to test their perception. The UTAUT2 is therefore extended by the constructs of Willingness to Scale, Environmental concern, Perceived Population Density, Micro mobility Experience and Safety Concerns and applied to test several hypotheses concerning the consumer perception of Mini-EVs. With the main goal of finding differences between consumer perception within a developed and a developing mobility infrastructure, two surveys, identical in content but translated to each language, have therefore been distributed in Germany (N=212) and China (N=195). Results show, that a willingness to scale down one’s mean of personal transport is significantly influencing the adoption intention of Mini EVs in Germany, next to the Environmental concern, as a main added exogenous factor to the UTAUT2. Safety concerns however seem to be of less importance in Germany, but proof to be of major concern in China. Based on the results of the study, managerial applications and policy implications are formulated.
