“…To address this, there will need to be (a) promotion and awareness raising, (b) data collection and monitoring, (c) government interventions via incentives and procurement, and (d) government support to expand EVCS infrastructure. These general recommendations align with recommendations in other early-transition contexts (e.g., [29]), each of these recommendations require country contextualization to be suitable and effective.…”

“…While some countries have experienced rapid adoption and transportation transformation (e.g., EU27 countries), sales in Qatar remain low. Other countries that have hydrocarbon resources are also relatively slow to transition, such as Kyrgyzstan [29] and Nigeria [30], where adoption appears low but assessment is constrained by data availability. The United Arab Emirates, with a similarly small population and resource-reliant economy based in the Gulf region, has seen EV adoption rise slowly (~1% as of 2023), while the government expands EVCS infrastructure and prepares for wider adoption in the future [31].…”

Governments around the world are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the transportation system is focal to the transition toward more renewable energy sources. The State of Qatar has transitioned buses in its public transportation system to be fully electric and has set a 2030 target for 10% of all new sales of vehicles to be electric vehicles (EVs). Although constrained by data limitations, this paper synthesizes and assesses the evidence and makes recommendations to support the transportation transition. OBJECTIVE: This paper assesses the available evidence on EV transitions in Qatar, identifying enablers and barriers through the use of a systematic literature review and data obtained from government sources within Qatar. METHODS: The systematic literature review was conducted in March of 2023 using two academic databases (Scopus and Web of Science). Only English language peer-reviewed articles, books, and conference proceedings pertaining to Qatar and EVs or EV charging stations were included. No resources were identified on an Arabic language database. RESULTS: The systematic review process identified 26 relevant publications, which is synthesized and critically assessed into the following thematic clusters: (a) assessments related to the electrical grid and diversifying the energy mix, (b) the planning and distribution of charging stations, and (c) knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors as it relates to the socio-cultural dimensions of EV adoption. DISCUSSION: The authors conclude that to meet the 2030 target, the State of Qatar must improve data collection for monitoring, rapidly expand charging station infrastructure, enable private sector engagement, and raise awareness regarding EVs to change consumer perception and choices. They explore the specific policy interventions that these domains require for the country to meet its transportation transition objectives. OTHER: This review received no funding, and the authors have no registration name or number to declare.

“…Guo et al (2023) [ 21 ] analyzed that compared with fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have no cost advantage due to the high purchase cost. Kondev et al (2023) [ 22 ] showed that when the vehicle is more powerful, electric vehicles have a price advantage over internal combustion engine vehicles.…”

The battery driving mileage on a single charge and convenience of the charging stations affect Electric Vehicle’s (EV) demand. This paper studies the optimal number of charging stations and EV’s price strategy considering different component commonality configurations. Assume the EV manufacturer provides two types of EV and the two EVs have the same battery configuration (battery as a common part) or the same naked vehicle–EV without batteries (naked vehicle as a common part). And the common part could be configured with low or high quality. We discuss four scenarios with different common parts and different quality levels. For each scenario, we present the optimal number of the charging stations and EV prices. Then we compare the optimal solutions and manufacturer’s profits in above four scenarios with numerical simulation and give some managerial insights. Our analysis reveals that (1) consumers’ range anxiety towards battery will affect manufacturer’s product configuration strategy, EVs’ prices and demands. (2) large consumers’ sensitivity towards charging station will corresponding to more charging station, high EV prices and demands. If consumers are very concerned about the charging convenience, high-end electric vehicles need to be launched first, then as customers’ anxiety about charging decreases, the low quality EV could be developed and diffused. (3) the unit product cost reduction caused by the commonality may increase or decrease the EVs’ prices, which depends on the relationship between the demand increment incurred by one more charging station and the cost coefficient of building the charging station. (4) The low quality naked vehicle as common component will increase both the number of the charging stations and the demand and the manufacturer is more likely to obtain high profits. (5) the cost saving coefficient of battery common parts has greater influence on the selection of commonality. When consumers’ range anxiety towards battery is very high, manufacturers should choose low-quality naked vehicles or high-quality battery as common components.

“…Aggarwal and Chawla (2021) conducted similar work in their article, where they discussed the main components used for vehicle conversion and provided a detailed description of their layout. Using information obtained from interviews and primary research, Kondev et al (2023) performed a total cost of ownership assessment for electric vehicles compared to gasoline-powered vehicles and converted vehicles in Kyrgyzstan. The authors found that under current conditions, electric vehicles may have a lower total cost of ownership compared to similar converted vehicles.…”

The aim of this article is to assess the potential of converting gasoline-powered passenger cars into electric vehicles in Poland. Based on the available literature data, the vehicle structure was classified using the following criteria: vehicle age, engine capacity, car segment, type of fuel used, and curb weight. The average fuel and electric energy consumption values per vehicle before and after conversion were determined using specially developed statistical models. The conversion and operation costs of a conventionally fueled vehicle and an electric vehicle (after conversion) were estimated using a stochastic simulation model employing probability density distributions of vehicle parameters and the Monte Carlo method. Vehicle parameters were estimated to reflect the real structure of passenger cars in Poland. The estimated costs of converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to an electric vehicle (including the purchase and installation of an electric motor and battery) and its subsequent operating costs enabled the assessment of the economic efficiency of the car conversion process. The potential for converting gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles was estimated by comparing the operating costs of the vehicle before and after conversion, taking into account the costs of the conversion itself. The potential of the studied conversion process amounted to 535,000 vehicles, which would generate an annual electricity demand of 1,746.36 GWh with electricity prices of 0.6 PLN/kWh. The conversion is economically viable mainly in passenger cars with a spark engine (more than 90% of cases).
