“…According to Patil and Majumdar, the economy-related attributes, the purchase cost, and the operating cost of electric two-wheelers are key indicators in determining the willingness of individuals to purchase them ( 45 , 48 ). The lack of driving range as a major barrier in adoption of BEVs has been highlighted from the studies conducted by Chhikara et al and Tarei et al ( 52 , 53 ). The results obtained from the present study are aligned with the existing literature on BEVs.…”

“…In the Indian context, plenty of researchers have attempted to understand the factors influencing the willingness to adopt BEVs ( 14 , 42 , 43 , 45–48 , 51–53 , 58–72 ). The majority of the performed studies have either explored the adoption of BEVs in a generic manner (without focusing on any specific mode) or have focused on modes other than BORs.…”

Conventionally, public transportation has been the responsibility of the government. In developing countries, however, government-provided public transportation is often inadequate: people’s mobility needs are best met by private modes, such as shared auto-rickshaws. In India, auto-rickshaws serve as a popular last-mile transportation alternative as well as a public transportation substitute. The mode share of auto-rickshaws in major Indian cities is significant. Electrifying this mode will certainly result in a significant reduction in air pollution levels. It is therefore imperative to identify the factors which influence rickshaw operators (ROs)’ willingness to adopt battery-operated rickshaws (BORs) in India. The present study aims to identify and explore the factors that contribute to the adaptability of battery electric vehicles in India and measure the satisfaction level of ROs with the selected factors. By using structural equation modeling, the present research found that, from the viewpoint of 478 ROs, vehicle-related attributes and economy-related attributes are most influential on the adaptability of BORs. Furthermore, the one-way analysis of variance revealed that willingness to adopt BORs is significantly related to the age of the ROs. From the standpoint of government, as well as electric vehicle manufacturers, this study would be helpful in understanding the tastes, expectations, and needs of ROs if they adopt BORs.

“…However, although the process of EV adoption in developing countries is arguably slow to nonexistent, even research on EV adoption in developing countries is still scarce (Asif et al, 2021), some developing countries have set serious goals and long-term plans for EV adoption like India which has set ambitious goals to replace all ICEVs with EVs by 2030 (Chhikara et al, 2021;Das et al, 2019). Malaysia has plans to install 125,000 charging stations by 2030, while Thailand has established a long-term EV policy with a goal of 1.2 million operational EVs by 2036 and 690 charging stations (Schröder et al, 2021), and Africa is targeting to generate 1% of global EVs in South Africa (Wilberforce, 2021).…”

Emissions from vehicles are a major contributor to greenhouse gases, and thus climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a promising solution to deal with this problem. Even though in the emerging economies like China and Europe, the adoption of EVs is praiseworthy, the pace of the EV rollout in Indonesia is slow. The Indonesian electric vehicle market has remained stagnant due to the country's low adoption rate of electric vehicles, which is currently less than 0.3%. This is because electric vehicle adoption has been stymied in Indonesia for a variety of reasons. As such, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors influencing electric vehicle adoption in Indonesia and to rank the barriers to widespread EV rollout in the country using the Grey Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA-G). It is found that high initial purchase price, insufficient amount of charging infrastructure, and a lack of government incentives are key barriers to the EV adoption in Indonesia.

“…Although the replacement of fossil fuel vehicles with lighter electric vehicles has the greatest potential to reduce CO2 emissions [8], the widespread use of electric power on freight and passenger transport (excluding trolleybuses and streetcars) in the Russian Federation is currently impossible due to the lack of infrastructure for charging [9], maintenance and repair of such vehicles. In Europe [6,[10][11][12], North America [13], China [14][15][16], India [17,18], and other countries, the use of electric transport is a priority for the transport industry. The use of CNG, as the cheapest [19] and economical by more than 15% [20] among hydrocarbon motor fuels, does not al-ways provide the maximum economic effect of the transportation process [19,20] that caused by the insufficiently developed AGFCS infrastructure [19,[21][22][23].…”

“…Scientific research [34] considered the issue of improving the efficiency of road freight transport in cities through the development of a two-factor analysis of vehicles, but without considering the choice of rolling stock. Improving the transport system efficiency is described by [16]. However, this work does not consider the influence of fuel.…”

The use of natural gas as a motor fuel in road transport can significantly reduce fuel costs and the adverse environmental impact of motor vehicles. However, an insufficiently developed infrastructure for compressed natural gas (CNG) constrains the growth in the number of natural gas-powered road transport enterprises. The limited number of automobile gas-filling compressor stations (AGFCS) increases the mileage of motor vehicles, which reduces the efficiency of natural gas use in road transport. This study aims to assess the costs of filling with different types of motor fuel regarding the overall costs of road freight. The scientific novelty of the work lies in establishing the dependence of costs for filling with motor fuel on the operational performance of vehicles and the development of fueling infrastructure of specific motor fuel types. For the first time, the authors evaluated the share of fueling costs for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) for different hydrocarbon fuels regarding the costs associated with the transportation process. It was found that the share of fueling costs varies depending on the type of hydrocarbon fuel used and can range from 1.5 to 15%, depending on the fueling infrastructure development. The results obtained can be used in decision-making on choosing the fuel type in the transportation process by LDVs to minimize overall costs.
