Abstract

This study is motivated by the need to understand what the most appropriate policies are to promote battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in various countries around the world. A systematic review of reviews on policies promoting BEVs was conducted to synthesise knowledge on the relative effectiveness of various policies. This study addresses three limitations in existing research on policies to promote electric vehicles (EVs). Firstly, it disentangles findings for BEVs from that of other EVs. Secondly, it examines the relative effectiveness of these policies to find optimal policy mixes. Finally, it compares policy effectiveness across nations at various stages of economic development and EV adoption. Purchase subsidies and tax incentives were found to be highly effective policies to kickstart EV adoption but may not be as effective at later stages of the EV adoption and may not be an affordable policy for all countries. Some countries that led the way with such subsidies and tax incentives have now begun curtailing or ceasing them, and contrary to earlier reviews, without serious adverse effect on adoption rates. Policies supporting public charging infrastructure are crucial enablers that complement EV purchase subsidies but are important even without purchase subsidies in place. High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane access and toll waivers are the next most effective demand side policies, but only in cities where such incentives make sense and cents for consumers. Supply side policies, such as zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates and vehicle emissions standards, must match or precede demand side policies to avoid bottlenecks and effectively drive uptake of BEVs in the earliest stage of adoption.

掌握方向盘:对推动采用新能源汽车的政策进行系统回顾
本研究旨在了解世界各国推广电池电动汽车(BEV)的最合适政策。本研究对促进电动汽车发展的政策进行了系统回顾,以综合了解各种政策的相对有效性。本研究解决了现有电动汽车(EV)推广政策研究的三个局限性。首先,它将对 BEV 的研究结果与其他电动汽车的研究结果区分开来。其次,研究了这些政策的相对有效性,以找到最佳政策组合。最后,它对处于不同经济发展阶段和电动汽车采用情况的国家的政策效果进行了比较。研究发现,购买补贴和税收优惠是启动电动汽车应用的非常有效的政策,但在电动汽车应用的后期阶段可能并不那么有效,也不是所有国家都能负担得起的政策。一些率先采用此类补贴和税收优惠政策的国家现已开始减少或停止此类政策,而且与之前的审查结果相反,并未对采用率产生严重的不利影响。支持公共充电基础设施的政策是补充电动汽车购买补贴的重要推动因素,但即使没有购买补贴也很重要。高乘载车辆(HOV)车道使用权和通行费减免是其次最有效的需求方政策,但只有在这些激励措施对消费者有意义和分量的城市才有效。供应方政策,如零排放汽车 (ZEV) 强制规定和汽车排放标准,必须与需求方政策相匹配或先于需求方政策,以避免瓶颈,并在采用的最初阶段有效推动 BEV 的使用。

期刊介绍: Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
