“…As well as investment in research, industry and infrastructure, government policies have also included incentives to purchase and use electric vehicles. However, these have often been indirect financial incentives, such as congestion charge exemptions, vehicle tax, and free parking with charging [32][33][34]. Superficially, these incentives appear supportive of electric vehicle ownership, and they may have a positive impact on electric vehicle ownership.…”

“…Some national governments, such as that of the People's Republic of China, have looked at other incentives such as preferential access to roads for electric vehicles [32,33]. It could be argued that such policies would simply have a negative impact on those using internal combustion vehicles rather than incentivising a change to electric vehicles as this may result in certain roads being restricted rather than new roads being built with preferable access for EVs.…”

“…However, discouraging the use of traditional means of powering vehicles can benefit the electric vehicle market even though it does not directly push for electric vehicle adoption, with such a policy currently offering an advantage for the use of electric vehicles. The significant flaw in this policy is that it would not be sustainable upon significant expansion of the market for electric vehicles, especially if electric vehicles were to outnumber internal combustion vehicles [32].…”

Understanding the Future Impacts of Electric Vehicles—An Analysis of Multiple Factors That Influence the Market

The electric vehicle market is an increasingly important aspect of the automotive industry. However, as a relatively new technology, several issues remain present within the industry. An analysis is utilised to examine these issues, along with how they affect the industry and how they can be tackled. Several key issues that affect the electric vehicle market, as well as how efforts to address these issues influence the market, are identified. The analysis also includes the examination of ethical issues, with the issues that arise from the production of raw materials for electric vehicles. The analysis and examination of ethical issues display a wide range of problems in the industry. However, it did highlight the efforts being made to lessen the effect of these problems by various groups, such as regulation by EU and US governing bodies on the materials mined. From this analysis, this paper identifies that many of the other factors examined are directly or indirectly influenced by political and economic factors, also examined in this review. This highlights the impact that governing bodies and businesses have on a vast number of issues that are present within the market and how they can resolve the harmful factors examined.

“…However, not all countries or local authorities have such options, either fiscally or sociotechnically, and the differences in EV adoption rate are not surprising when incorporating the local political, economic, geographic and sociotechnical context for which policies need to be translated. 2 There is hence an increasing call for niche market policies [27] and more in-depth regional studies to study the 'transferability of incentives [30]' and to 'build an understanding of best practices [26]'.…”

Electric vehicles are an important instrument to decarbonize transportation, offering a range of cobenefits such as reductions in local pollution, noise emissions, and oil dependency. Unfortunately, price, range, infrastructure and technological uncertainty are only some of the barriers to a faster adoption of these vehicles. To overcome these barriers, there is a broad call for public support and a growing body of primarily survey and choice experiment studies to show which policy mechanisms are effective, with mixed outcomes. In response, this paper offers a qualitative comparative analysis that draws on 227 semi-structured interviews with 257 transportation and electricity experts from 201 institutions across 17 cities within the Nordic region to discuss the reasoning and arguments behind EV incentives and policy mechanisms. A frequency analysis of the most coded responses favoured cost reduction mechanisms, in particular taxation exemptions; infrastructure support for public and apartment charging; the importance of consumer awareness, especially information campaigns; certain other specific policy measures like procurement programs and environmental zones; and more general policy principles. More in-depth, our analysis shows the debates around these mechanisms and how the pros and cons of these mechanisms differ per country, per transport segment, per phase of transition or market share, even per city. In short, this paper calls for strong stable national targets and price incentives combined with local flexibility to implement secondary benefits and more attention to awareness campaigns to advance the implementation of electric vehicles.

“…Research shows that the diffusion of EVs is hard to achieve without government subsidies (Rahmani, 2018) and incentives play a crucial role in the first stage of the diffusion of an innovation (Davies, 2016, Figenbaum, 2015, Phillips, 2015, Praetorius, 2011, Bakker, 2012.…”

Road transport causes one fifth of the EU's total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which are especially high in cities. A suggested solution to this situation is the introduction of electric vehicles (EV). However, evidence from European countries shows that, the sales of EVs are low in comparison to other vehicles, especially without any governmental support. Our pilot study, conducted in Wrocław (Poland), shows that car purchasers in Poland are aware of the difference between pure electric and hybrid vehicles (HEVs). However, the potential for sales of EVs and HEVs still seems limited as most car purchasers buy on the second-hand market. Our study shows that consumers have a generally positive opinion about EVs. However, they see strong barriers in adopting EV as none of 52 respondents decided to buy an EV.
