“…Benzidia et al focused on the buyer's perspectives that impact the adoption of hybrid and battery electric vehicles [16]. Jones et al studied the impact of EVs on the transport strategies of rural businesses that look for vehicle electrification [17]. Other researchers have also evaluated consumer behavior and preferences associated with ownership and lease structures, demographic diversity, and other factors that impact EV penetration [7,18,19].…”

Electric vehicle (EV) penetration has been increasing globally and is expected to continue its exponential growth over the coming decades. Several countries have already announced plans to achieve total or partial electrification of their vehicle fleets. Such rapid transportation electrification will have a significant impact on society and businesses that support the transportation industry. Additionally, new business opportunities will be available to support this technological evolution. In this paper, the business opportunities emerging from EVs and their supporting infrastructure are reviewed. It has been observed that several businesses, such as sustainable mining and manufacturing, will need to be developed before EV growth as they provide the initial platform required for EV adoption. Other businesses such as fleet optimization, battery management, and recycling can be developed at a later stage. All of these businesses will also have social and technological impacts, which will drive policy decisions. Regional governments play a critical role in ensuring the smooth execution of a transition to transportation electrification through social programs, such as training and education for equitable growth, and legislative decisions, such as technology standardization.

“…Among the main incentives implemented in European countries to promote electromobility, support for the acquisition of electric vehicles and -to a lesser extent-the development of electric charging infrastructure can be identified. This is reaffirmed by Jones et al (2020), who concluded that, in order to make rural electric transport more effective, the high cost of these vehicles, their autonomy, and the charging infrastructure available in the area of action need to be addressed (Figure 3c).…”

“…The literature also shows a series of matching advantages and benefits of ELVs: from strategic (ceasing to depend on fossil fuels), to environmental (reducing greenhouse gas emissions). According to Jones et al (2020), if factors such as the travel autonomy, recharge speed and infrastructure, and sales cost of these vehicles are successfully addressed, this technology can be made viable for commercial and industrial use. All of the aforementioned poses challenges to science and politics to generate incentives, define regulations, and contribute to infrastructure in order to boost this technological trend (Ministerio de Energía, 2020).…”

Electromobility in Forest Transport. Is It Feasible? Perceptions Regarding Implementation in the Chilean Industry

et al. 2022

This paper examines the different impressions and perspectives related to the implementation of electromobility in log transportation via trucks with a load capacity of up to 45 tons in the forestry sector of the eighth and sixteenth regions of Chile. The objective of this work is to establish the critical variables identified and perceived by key stakeholders of the forestry industry the correct implementation of high tonnage electric trucks. To this effect, a qualitative methodological study with a non-experimental design is proposed, which is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with stakeholders of the forestry sector of the study area. A convenience sample is employed, which was applied to four businessmen in the sector, three executives from the main forestry companies, and two truck distributor representatives. The data show that there is currently little knowledge due to the lack of specific projects and platforms for disseminating information that consider this technology in the field, but, on the contrary, they show a willingness to implement pilot plans aiming for the perceived economic sustainability of electromobility. A concentration of critical aspects is evidenced, which must be addressed in order to implement electromobility in forest transport, and which, given handling by public-private work, would enable the sector and the country to obtain the economic and environmental benefits of this technology.

“…There have been some trials of electric vehicles in rural areas, most notable, Jones et al (2020) study of electric vehicles and rural businesses, who reports the promising suitability of electric vehicles in a rural setting, given the required support (infrastructure enhancement and technical developments) is provided. As adopted in the model presented in this paper, Jones et al (2020) reported the Nissan Leaf as the most popular electric vehicle adopted by the businesses monitored in this trial. Although Jones et al (2020) focused on rural businesses and the travelling required by such, many findings are still applicable to the private passenger scenario in rural areas.…”
