Before revision:  For this purpose, we use stated preferences of over 1000 Indian consumers and present the first estimates of the additional purchase price that Indian consumers are willing to pay to improve the electric vehicle attributes(e.g., driving range) .
After revision:  This study contributes to the EV demand literature in the Indian context by (a) analysing the EV attributes and attitudinal factors of Indian car buyers that determine consumers' preferences for EVs, (b) estimating Indian consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) to buy EVs with improved attributes, and c) quantifying how the reference dependence affects the WTP estimates .
