“…We compare the economic, social and environmental performance of EV production under these two cases and derive the optimal EV production decisions from the comparative analysis. oriented EV market to a market-oriented one [14,15]. It also can be seen in Table 1 that the subsidies provided by governments of China in 2017 are significantly lower than those in 2016.…”

“…Therefore, it is evident that the EV market in China is facing the dilemma of "hot policy", but "cold market" [9]. Second, EV promotions are so dependent on finance policy support in China that their governments decide to gradually decrease the subsidies of EVs in order to convert the subsidies-oriented EV market to a market-oriented one [14,15]. It also can be seen in Table 1 that the subsidies provided by governments of China in 2017 are significantly lower than those in 2016.…”

Manufacturing Decisions and Government Subsidies for Electric Vehicles in China: A Maximal Social Welfare Perspective

In order to address challenges in the sustainable development of transportation, economy, and environment, governments of China and conventional automobile manufacturers are extremely concerned about the development of the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing industry and market. However, owing to the limitations of EVs and the government economic policies on decreasing subsidies in China, many manufacturers are worried about entering the EV market. Given the low consumer preference for EVs, using a leader-follower Stackelberg game model, we investigate the impact of government a subsidy on the optimal production and pricing decisions of an auto manufacturer who could produce both EVs and conventional vehicles. We characterize whether/under what conditions the manufacturer's decision to offer EV products under government subsidy, whilst increasing its profits (a win-win situation). On the policy side, we delineate how government a subsidy can be set to realize the inherent economic, environmental, and social benefits of EV production (the triple win of EV production). We further investigate the impact of EV manufacturing-and society-related factors on the balance among manufacturer profits, environmental impact and social welfare. This study also finds that the adoption of EVs is not bound to be beneficial for the environment.

“…Thus, an adequate infrastructure network in terms of efficient and compatible charging points is a prerequisite for the uptake of electric vehicles. This remains a key concern for potential users and actual vehicle owners in many markets including China, which is the country that has the highest number of electric vehicles [16].…”

This paper explores the factors affecting the uptake of hybrid and electric vehicles in the European Union (EU) using data from two extensive cross-sectional surveys. Each survey consists of 26,500 responses to a questionnaire that combines socio-economic and behavioral aspects. The share of respondents across the EU stating that they would certainly or probably consider purchasing a hybrid or a battery-powered electric vehicle (H&EV) in the near future rose from 32% in 2014 to 37.4% in 2018. There is, however, a high variability among EU member states, as well as across different socio-economic groups. Propensity is highly correlated with income, educational attainment, and urbanization level. In order to address the high degree of collinearity, we applied a machine learning classification model to analyze and explain the interaction between the variables that affected the expressed propensity to purchase such a vehicle. The findings highlight something largely missing from the literature, namely that local conditions and regional variation are a major, if not decisive, factor regarding purchasing choices. Seen from a policy perspective, this conclusion may provide guidance regarding how to support the take up of H&EVs through measures that are tailored to the specific needs at the local level.

“…Between newer studies, the notable ones, beside the study by Smith et al [70] is study by Wang et al [71] (2017) and Anderson et al [72] (2018). Wang et al [71] in their paper presents the incentives for the purchase of EVs that are currently active in China and develop a model for the forecast of EV acceptance based on the linear regression. The data used in this research is sales numbers from 41 pilot cities and from the 37 cities with no purchase restriction.…”

Electric Vehicles: A Data Science Perspective Review

Current trends are showing that the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has significantly increased over the last few years, causing changes not only in the transportation industry but generally in business and society. This paper covers one possible angle to the (r)evolution instigated by EVs, i.e., it provides the data science perspective review of the interdisciplinary area at the intersection of green transportation, energy informatics, and economics. Namely, the review summarizes data-driven research in EVs by identifying two main research streams: (i) socio–economic, and (ii) socio–technical. The socio–economic stream includes research in: (i) acceptance of green transportation in countries and among different populations, (ii) current trends in the EV market, and (iii) forecasting future sales for the green transportation. The socio–technical stream includes research in: (i) electric vehicle battery price and capacity and (ii) charging station management. This kind of study is especially important now when the question is no longer whether the transition from internal-combustion engine vehicles to clean-fuel vehicles is going to happen but how fast it will happen and what are going to be implications for society, governmental policies, and industry. Based on the presented literature review, the paper also outlines the most significant open questions and challenges that are yet to be solved: (i) scarcity of trustworthy (open) data, and (ii) designing a generalized methodology for charging station deployment.
