Electric vehicles
With over 2% of global car sales,
the electric car fleet is expanding quickly. Ambitious policy announcements
have been critical in stimulating the electric mobility transition in major
vehicle markets.
Policies
have major influences on the development of electric mobility. Policy
approaches to promote the deployment of EVs typically start with a vision
statement and a set of targets. An initial step is the adoption of electric
vehicle and charging standards.
Economic incentives and regulatory measures are often coupled with other
policies that increase the value proposition of EVs. Such policies often aim to
harness the multiple co-benefits arising from greater electrification of
transport, most prominently energy diversification in a sector that is 90%
dependent on oil products and the reduction of local pollutant and GHG
emissions. Measures that provide crucial incentives to scale up the
availability of vehicles with low and zero tailpipe emissions include fuel
economy standards, zero-emission vehicle mandates and the rise in the ambition
of public procurement programmes.
Regulatory measures related to charging infrastructure include minimum
requirements to ensure "EV readiness" in new or refurbished buildings
and parking lots, deployment of publicly accessible chargers in cities and on
highway networks, and are complemented by requirements regarding
inter-operability and minimum availability levels for publicly accessible
charging infrastructure.
