The Role of Government Policies in Accelerating Electric Vehicle Adoption: A Global Perspective

Abstract

One of the most important things we can do to slow the rate of climate change is to switch to electric cars (EVs). High initial costs, a lack of charging infrastructure, and consumer reluctance are a few of the obstacles to electric vehicle broad adoption. In order to overcome these obstacles and speed up the adoption of EVs, government initiatives are crucial. the global role of government policies in encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, with a focus on important policy tools such infrastructure development, subsidies, and tax incentives. Policy outcomes regarding electric vehicles in different parts of the world, including those with more established economies, such as the West, and those with more developing economies, such as Asia and Africa. The research focusses on the methods used and insights gained by nations that have effectively included electric vehicles into their transportation networks. the changing function of government programs in funding R&D, improving battery technology, and clearing the way for the use of renewable energy sources to charge electric vehicles. To achieve global sustainability and climate goals, it is crucial to have policy actions that are both coordinated and sustained in order to provide conditions favourable for electric vehicles.
