A government introduces a new, significant financial incentive for purchasing electric vehicles (EVs). According to the decision-making model where a consumer switches to an EV only if their personal 'green values' exceed the 'cost disadvantage of the EV,' what is the most likely impact of this new incentive on a consumer's choice, assuming their personal green values remain unchanged?

Consumer Choice: Electric vs. Conventional Vehicle
Impact of Public Awareness on EV Adoption
Consider a model where a consumer decides to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) over a conventional one only if their personal valuation of the environmental benefits (their 'green values') is greater than the additional purchase and running costs of the EV. In this model, a significant technological advancement that lowers EV battery production costs would lead to an increase in EV adoption, even if consumers' personal green values do not change.
