“…Moreover, even if electricity is supplied from a poor grid mix (based on 2008 figures), life cycle analyses demonstrated that Renault's BEV Fluence produced fewer GHG emissions than petrol/diesel versions of the Fluence due to BEVs' overall efficiency and lower primary energy needs (Renault, ). With the exception of Iraq and South Africa, driving EVs results in lower emissions per kilometre of travel compared to ICVs (Broadbent, ). Jochem, Doll, and Fichtner () found that EVs were advantageous compared to ICVs for reducing oil dependency and providing benefits to climate change, local air pollutants and noise, especially in congested inner cities, but other benefits were dependent on the local grid mix and recharging strategies of individual EV owners.…”

Accelerating the rate of electric vehicle (EV) adoption is an objective of many countries to mitigate and ameliorate negative externalities arising from the use of fossil fuels for personal motorised transportation including: greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollution and noise, as well as increasing energy security and reducing budget deficits. Within the dynamic field of EVs, this paper highlights strategic directions for policy makers to increase EV uptake. The paper critically reviews measures adopted by some industrialised countries to motivate consumer purchase of EVs rather than conventional internal combustion vehicles (ICVs). A key focus is the role of financial and soft incentives to encourage EV adoption. The analysis reveals that not all incentives are equally effective; an adequate recharger network appears to be a common concerning factor for EV adoption due to customer anxiety and vehicle limitations. Best practice strategies that could foster a faster transition to EV adoption include appropriate legislation, installation and maintenance of an adequate public recharger network, government procurement programs, and investment in information programs to accelerate the transition towards fossil free driving. The paper evidences how implementation of these strategies can affect overall adoption rates.

“…The financial benefits are also related to value of the price. Electric vehicle price refers to the amount to be paid or compensation given to another person in exchange for goods or, according to research (Degirmencia, 2017); value for money is the fact that consumers compare the money they have lost to what they receive.…”

This research aims to observe Road Freight Transportation Business and examine Road Freight Transportation Business Operator’s Perception toward Electric Vehicle Adoption in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. This research applies purposive sampling; 35 entrepreneurs with a minimum 3-year experience operating small and medium enterprises in Nakhon Pathom during January, 2022.The researchers collect information using in-depth interviews and analyze information by content analysis. Most respondents agree that electric vehicles are not appropriate for the transportation business today. Some state that electric vehicles may be appropriate for local transportation or in-house operation. The possibility of investing in electric vehicles is directly related to technology-related infrastructure, which in today's economy, is challenging to invest in by small or medium-sized businesses. The growth direction of electric vehicles for transport businesses in Thailand will grow gradually as electric vehicles enter the market in Thailand. Adopting Electric vehicle technologies for transportation business in Nakhon Pathom related to Electric vehicle infrastructure development which relies on government or large private company investments.

“…Considering the cost constraints of improving internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) efficiency (Fritz et al, 2019), a critical means to mitigate road transport's emissions is a shift to electromobility, which reduces emissions for every kilometre travelled compared to fossilfuelled vehicles (Broadbent, 2018). The faster the transition, the more emissions avoided (Buysse et al, 2021;BITRE, 2019).…”
