Since road transport accounts for a high share of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, Electric Vehicles (EVs), including Battery EVs (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid EVs (PHEVs), offer a promising alternative to replace fossil-fuel dependent Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs), with a low-or zero-emission transport solution. While this technology's adoption has been rapidly increasing over the last decade, its market share remains restrained by socio-techno-economic barriers in most… Voir plus

Since road transport accounts for a high share of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, Electric Vehicles (EVs), including Battery EVs (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid EVs (PHEVs), offer a promising alternative to replace fossil-fuel dependent Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs), with a low-or zero-emission transport solution. While this technology's adoption has been rapidly increasing over the last decade, its market share remains restrained by socio-techno-economic barriers in most countries. Overcoming these barriers is an essential step into a massive purchasing activity of electric vehicles. This dissertation aims at investigating innovative business models by examining the transactions within the members of the EV ecosystem. This dissertation deals with future and multidisciplinary research in economics, management, and engineering sciences on decarbonised car systems' future. First, this thesis addresses the main charging infrastructure deployment barrier by presenting a literature review about the deployment methodologies and pointing out the neglected set of parameters that present our research gaps. Second, it investigates the trade-offs between the different-power charging infrastructure and the BEV owner by considering: BEV investment and range, public infrastructure availability, at-home charger availability, and the adaptability between charger and BEV in terms of technical constraints. It also concludes with the most suitable BEV battery capacity for urban and rural needs, and the installation of fast chargers. Next, it analyses the influence of socio-demographic, economic, and technical factors on EV adoption in French departments, using mixed-effects regression. This chapter points out policy recommendations to accelerate the electric mobility transition. Finally, we analyse the influence of the Regulation number (EU)2019/631 on the automotive manufacturers’ portfolio, and compares the results with the directive of the European Commission. Voir moins

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) offer a promising choice to replace fossil-fuel dependent Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs) with a low-emission transport solution. Governments, automotive manufacturers, and charging infrastructure operators have deployed market-boosting initiatives to incentivize purchase. Yet, their market diffusion is limited by several barriers. To shed light on the main barriers, and based on an extensive state-of-the-art, we used an original database and statistically analyzed the relationship of 21 socio-demographic, technical, and economic factors on BEV and PHEV market shares, separately, in 94 French departments from 2015 to 2019, using mixed-effect regression. We find different covariates related to BEV and PHEV sales, respectively, suggesting the two markets respond to different incentives. The number of available BEV/PHEV models and energy prices are positively correlated with BEV and PHEV adoption. Fast, ultrafast charger density and local incentives positively relate with BEV sales, while slow-and-normal charger density to PHEV sales. Contrarily, national subsidies, relative to vehicles’ prices, are negatively correlated with PHEVs sales and is open for further studies. Based on the results, policy recommendations are considered for the automotive industry, charging operators, and local authorities to draw a roadmap for electric mobility transition in France Voir moins
