“…For example, Hawkins et al (2012) who carried out a comparative environmental life cycle assessment of conventional and battery electric vehicles concluded that the life cycle GHG emissions of BEVs was less than that of conventional vehicles. Some studies indicated that promoting BEV adoption helps enhance energy security of the countries because BEVs are flexible to adapt to a variety of domestic renewable energy, such as wind power, solar power, biomass, geothermal energy, and hydroelectric power rather than only relying on imported fossil fuel (Jacobson, 2009;Sovacool, 2017;Shafiei et al, 2019). The growing anxieties about the environment and energy security create opportunities for BEV development by exerting pressure to the existing regime.…”

“…Moreover, Shafiei et al (2014) proposed a system-dynamics model of integrated energy-transport system (UniSyD_IS) to simulate the transition to low-carbon transport in Iceland, and the results suggested electric vehicles as a winner among alternative fuel vehicles. The uniSyD_IS model was further applied to examine the interaction between energy market and alternative fuel vehicles (Shafiei et al, 2014), to conduct comparative analysis of hydrogen and electric vehicles (Shafiei et al, 2017), and to evaluate the effects of tax policy in Iceland (Shafiei et al, 2019).…”

The question of electromobility is greatly discussed theme of the present especially in connection with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to fulfill decarbonization targets, incentives of many countries lead to the support of electromobility. In this paper we ask to which extend are Visegrád Group countries prepared for the widespread utilization of electric cars and define a new coefficient K called the infrastructural country electromobility coefficient. Its computing is covered by appropriate analysis and calculations done previously. Several indices that keep particular information about the state of preparation for electromobility are defined and debated here, as well. Their product forms the coefficient K. Obtained results include outcomes and discussion regarding the level of infrastructural electromobility preparedness for the chosen states, among which we extra focus on the position of Slovakia compared to the European Union average and European electromobility leaders. Based on the data obtained, we found out that the stage of preparation of Slovakia for electromobility among Visegrad Group countries is rather good, although it is far behind the European Union leaders. We realized that there was a rapid growth of electromobility infrastructure in Slovak Republic in the last five years as its infrastructural country electromobility coefficient grew 334 times.

“…Additionally, the green-innovation-inducing effect of a carbon tax was shown through an empirical study. Based on the theoretical and empirical research, optimizing the design of the carbon tax and maximizing the green-innovation-inducing effect of the carbon tax were the main approaches that were taken in related studies [19,60]. While studying the impact of a unit progressive carbon tax on the green innovation of enterprises, we introduced a dynamic evolutionary game model and introduced the path dependence of innovation and competitive advantage in the market, as well as the costs of innovation and the amount of carbon reduced, into the analysis of policy effects.…”

The major global economies are facing increasing pressure to reduce their carbon emissions. Introducing environmental policy instruments to stimulate green innovation is key to mitigating global warming. We propose a carbon tax design with a typical green innovation orientation that links carbon taxes with the low-carbon technology (LCT) of enterprises and imposes a progressive tax on heterogeneous enterprises with LCT stock to encourage green innovation. This study used a dynamic evolution game model based on the Stackelberg model of heterogeneous enterprises with LCT stock to analyze the green-innovation-inducing effect of unit progressive carbon taxes. A unit progressive carbon tax could encourage enterprises to participate in green innovation, regardless of their initial green innovation willingness. The progressive tax rate was more effective than a fixed rate for stimulating green innovation by all enterprises. There was a marginal diminishing effect of increases in the tax rate. An increase in the innovation cost coefficient of enterprises reduced the green-innovation-inducing effect of the unit progressive carbon tax. Increasing the tax rate was effective only under normal circumstances. A decline in the carbon reduction in enterprises also reduced the green-innovation-inducing effect of the unit progressive carbon tax. Furthermore, increasing the tax rate when the carbon reduction amount was extremely low caused enterprises to abandon green innovation.
