Electric cars, vans, trucks and buses will play a key role in reducing some of the negative impacts of road transport on human health, the environment and climate. Faced with a growing transport demand, electric vehicles alone cannot be enough to achieve a sustainable road transport in Europe. They need to be seen within the wider mobility …
By that time, one of the main obstacles to battery-electric vehicle (BEV) adoption was the lack of charging infrastructure (CI), namely a nationwide charging …
To ensure a seamless transition to electric mobility, it is crucial for countries to accelerate the deployment of public recharging infrastructure in tandem with EV adoption rates. While private recharging infrastructure also plays a critical role, public recharging points are essential for widespread EV usage, particularly in urban areas and for long …
To this end, implementing effective incentive policies to accelerate electrical vehicle (EV) adoption plays a vital role. With this study, we highlight the important role of governments, showing that even with the provision of certain mild non-financial incentives, such as charging infrastructure development, EV adoption rates can …
