ABSTRACT

In past few decades, energy consumption is rising in tandem with growth of human living standards and technological advancements. The majority of energy consumed is derived from conventional or traditional sources of energy. Due to this, large amounts of greenhouse-gases (GHG) are emitted causing unadorned effects such as global warming and ocean level rise. Increased penetration of electric vehicles in present transportation scenario has significant potential to keep check on greenhouse gas emissions. Adoption of electric vehicles is difficult because it necessitates changes in human behavior and industrial structure, both of which are difficult tasks. This paper examines the policies via which the government and other institutions are attempting to achieve the requisite electric vehicle penetration through subsidies and targets. The paper focuses on investigating the policy from different states and providing better adoption model to reach sustainable development goals. It is imperative that governments throughout world implement policies that encourage the sale of electric cars and boost the share of renewable energy to mitigate overall air pollution produced by internal combustion engine and electric vehicle industries. The results showed that lack of charging infrastructure incentives and no renewable energy penetration incentives seems to be lacking in the policy makings. The gaps and limitations found in the policy are highlighted so that each nation/organization can work on it and customize it according to their targets and needs. Also, a business model is being provided for better uptake of electric vehicles. This also enables nation country/reorganization works on shortcomings and tailors them to their own goals and requirements.
