“…In addition, the impact of EVs on the associated supply chain is yet to be examined. Research on EVs has been mostly focused on: (i) planning infrastructure deployment [46]; (ii) impact of integrating electric vehicles into the power system [84,85]; and (iii) using incentives to promote EVs [86]. Perspectives and insights on EV adoption are only recently being developed.…”

Current logistics and transportation (L&T) systems include heterogeneous fleets consisting of common internal combustion engine vehicles as well as other types of vehicles using "green" technologies, e.g., plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). However, the incorporation of EVs in L&T activities also raise some additional challenges from the strategic, planning, and operational perspectives. For instance, smart cities are required to provide recharge stations for electric-based vehicles, meaning that investment decisions need to be made about the number, location, and capacity of these stations. Similarly, the limited driving-range capabilities of EVs, which are restricted by the amount of electricity stored in their batteries, impose non-trivial additional constraints when designing efficient distribution routes. Accordingly, this paper identifies and reviews several open research challenges related to the introduction of EVs in L&T activities, including: (a) environmental-related issues; and (b) strategic, planning and operational issues associated with "standard" EVs and with hydrogen-based EVs. The paper also analyzes how the introduction of EVs in L&T systems generates new variants of the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem, one of the most studied optimization problems in the L&T field, and proposes the use of metaheuristics and simheuristics as the most efficient way to deal with these complex optimization problems.

“…Lim et al (2014) consider a governmental purchase rebate (e.g., federal tax credits, state rebate programs) offered to first-time EV adopters. Huang et al (2013) investigate the impact of a subsidy incentive scheme on two supply chains, which include a fuel automobile supply chain only making gasoline vehicles (GVs) and a supply chain producing both EVs and GVs. Luo et al (2014) analyse an EV supply chain where a manufacturer and a retailer serve heterogeneous consumers with EVs under a government's price discount incentive scheme.…”

“…Other governments, such as Canada, Germany, and Japan, implemented similar subsidy policies to support the development of EVs. These findings suggest that subsidy policies play an important role in promoting the sales of EVs [7].…”

“…Diamond (2009) examined the relationship between government policies and the adoption of d hybrid-electric vehicles adoption using data from the U.S. [8]. Huang et al (2013) focused on two supply chains (i.e., fuel automobile supply chain, electric-and-fuel automobile supply chain), and examined the effects of subsidy policy of the government on the profits and social welfare of supply chain members [7]. Luo et al (2014) studied an automobile supply chain that consists of a manufacturer and a retailer, and investigated the effects of the government's price-discount incentive scheme on the decision making of supply chain member [9].…”

Abstract:The increasing public attention on green products prompted firms and government to focus on the design and manufacturing of these products. This study focuses on a supply chain system that consists of three members, namely, supplier, manufacturer, and government, and then investigates the effects of government subsidies on social welfare and the profits of supply chain members. We utilize game and optimization theories to calculate and compare the optimal decisions and profits of players in the following scenarios: (i) the government provides a subsidy rate to the cost of manufacturer's greenness efforts (first subsidy policy); and (ii) the government grants a per unit subsidy to the manufacturer for the demand for green product (second subsidy policy). We also derive the necessary condition for the most effective subsidy policy that maximizes expected social welfare and profits. Our analysis derives the following findings: (i) under the first subsidy policy, the government tends to provide high subsidy rate to a manufacturer with low marginal profit; (ii) under the second subsidy policy, the government tends to offer low subsidy to a manufacturer with low marginal profit; and (iii) a government's selection of subsidy policy depends on the sensitivity of consumers to price.
