Summary: There is a global concern over the environmental impact of increasing internal combustion engine vehicles, leading to a push for alternative propulsion systems like electric motors. In South Africa, there are challenges in adopting electric vehicles due to unfavorable environment, with residents in Gauteng province identifying high prices as a major barrier. Government policies addressing pricing issues and interventions like purchasing subsidies and charging infrastructure improvements are seen as key in promoting electric vehicle adoption.

Summary: Advertising cost-free and green charging via email notifications to customers, encouraging charging during daytime hours with high shares of renewable energy, led to a significant increase in charging processes and energy charged. Despite only marginal monetary savings, the shift in charging behavior resulted in over 50% reduction in CO2 emissions if daytime charges replaced regular overnight charging.

Summary: This study examines the latest development of EV policy in the Chinese mainland, reviewing national-level policy measures and financial incentives for sustainable development of the EV industry over the past decade. A mathematical model is utilized to quantify the impact of the dual-credits policy regime, revealing a significant gap between recent EV sales and estimated future production under the new policy. The study concludes by discussing strategic implications for EV market participants, including challenges related to phasing out financial support and increasing market competition.

Summary: Norway has become a well-matured market for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with a high adoption rate. Urban residents with access to more charging stations, higher income levels, and a demand for travel are more likely to adopt BEVs. However, municipalities with lower minimum temperatures and a higher proportion of elderly people tend to have a lower adoption rate.

Summary: This study examines participant attitudes towards battery electric vehicle (BEV) incentives in the greater Oslo area. A questionnaire survey conducted annually from 2014 to 2020 provided data for analysis. The results show that support for BEV incentives, such as toll exemptions and access to bus lanes, has decreased over the years in the Oslo area. However, internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) users are more likely to disagree with these incentives compared to BEV users. The study provides new insights into attitudes towards BEV incentives from a longitudinal perspective.

Summary: With the increasing demands for personal vehicles and the rising emissions from road transportation in India, it is crucial to replace future vehicle purchases with electric vehicles (EVs) in order to meet the growing middle class's need for comfort and social status while reducing vehicular emissions. This study explores the socio-psychological factors that contribute to individuals' intention to purchase an EV in the near future. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs, along with additional factors such as cost, herd behavior, and personal norms, are analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling and mediation analysis to identify the direct and indirect pathways in which intentions to adopt EVs are formed. The findings suggest that subjective norms and perceived behavioral control play key roles in shaping individuals' intentions. Additionally, factors like cost, herd behavior, and personal norms indirectly influence intention formation through mediating the TPB variables. Therefore, in addition to subsidies, EV promotion policies in India need to incorporate other attitudinal and norm-based strategies to facilitate faster EV adoption.

Summary: Climate change and environmental problems have led to new strategies to reduce fossil fuel consumption in transportation, such as a rapid transition to green energy and the replacement of internal combustion vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). However, the increasing demand for electricity by EVs, especially from time-dependent green sources, may overload the grid at peak hours. Smart charging programs for EVs can alleviate this issue, but little is known about people's willingness to participate in such programs.

Summary: This study uses monthly data on EV sales in China from 2012 to 2020 and employs a VAR model and a VECM model to empirically examine the long-term and short-term impacts of EV policy incentives in China. The findings suggest that monetary incentives and administrative controls are more effective in increasing EV demand in the short term, while privilege incentives, charging incentives, and demonstration incentives are more effective in accelerating the adoption of EVs in the long term.

Summary: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) offer a promising low-emission transport solution to replace fossil-fuel dependent Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). However, their market diffusion is limited by various barriers. This study statistically analyzes the relationship between 21 socio-demographic, technical, and economic factors and BEV and PHEV market shares in 94 French departments from 2015 to 2019, finding different covariates related to BEV and PHEV sales, and providing policy recommendations for the transition to electric mobility in France.

Summary: A series of battery fires in India is damaging the country's ambitions to be a leader in electric vehicles, especially in the 2-wheeler sector. The Electric Vehicle (EV) industry and its customers are working to address the fallout, myths, and fake news surrounding these incidents. This paper thoroughly explores the reasons behind EV battery fires, including working conditions, component quality, temperature, and external factors, and specifically focuses on the Indian perspective by analyzing the fires that occurred in 2022, refuting misconceptions with valid arguments and factual evidence.

Summary: The transportation sector plays a major role in greenhouse gas emissions, making it crucial to study the impact of electric vehicles on the economic and environmental performance of developing countries. A survey conducted in Pakistan revealed that users welcome the adoption of hybrid and electric three-wheelers due to increased economic benefits. Despite the higher initial capital cost, hybrid or electric three-wheelers can significantly improve monthly earnings by 50% and lower CO2 emissions by 3-6 tonnes per year per vehicle.

Summary: This study investigates the factors affecting the cost performance of large-scale road projects in Norway. The results show that factors such as local wishes, defective estimations, and long processing times have the most impact on cost increases during the planning phase, while scope changes, market conditions, and unforeseen ground conditions are the most influential parameters in the construction phase. External related factors also play a significant role in cost overrun during the construction phase.

Summary: The traditional view of evaluating transportation infrastructure projects has focused on efficiency in time and cost (operational success). However, there is a growing interest in considering a broader perspective that evaluates if the project has achieved its goals (tactical success). This study evaluates a Norwegian highway project from both operational and tactical perspectives, finding that it was operationally efficient but also tactically successful in reducing traffic accidents, congestion, and travel time in the project area. Considering both aspects provides a more holistic understanding of project benefits, contributing to the overall understanding of project success evaluation.
