description The present study leverages the Stimulus-Organism-Behavior-Consequence (SOBC) framework to investigate how green transparency influences green brand loyalty and repurchase intention among electric vehicle consumers. Specifically, it examines the mediating roles of brand image and brand credibility in the relationships between green transparency, green brand loyalty, and repurchase intention. Data collected from 386 electric vehicle users were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that green transparency positively impacts brand image and brand credibility, which subsequently enhances green brand loyalty and repurchase intention. Mediation analysis further highlights brand image and brand credibility as critical mechanisms linking green transparency to green brand loyalty. This study extends the SOBC framework to green marketing, offering theoretical and practical insights into fostering sustainable consumer behavior. By emphasizing the role of green transparency in building credible and compelling brand narratives, the findings guide marketers in cultivating consumer trust and loyalty while supporting policymakers in formulating transparency regulations for a sustainable marketplace.
