Abstract

In recent years, the rapid proliferation of economic activities in India is accompanied by a surge in the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure development. This study analyses the performance of the EV adoption across the Indian states using a modified context dependent data envelopment analysis. We identify key macroeconomic factors that influence EV and CI expansion and provide a framework for informing targeted policy interventions for states to optimize their EV ecosystem development. Our analysis reveals that states with higher socio-economic indicators and comprehensive EV policies exhibit superior performance in EV adoption. Additionally, we propose a benchmarking strategy for lower performing states, guiding them towards a pathway for efficiency improvement through targeted infrastructure investments. This data-driven approach can inform policymakers in creating effective strategies to accelerate the development of a robust EV ecosystem.

对新兴经济体中电动汽车和充电基础设施进行因地制宜的评估

近年来，随着印度经济活动的快速增长，对电动汽车（EV）和充电基础设施建设的需求也随之激增。本研究采用改进的上下文相关数据包络分析法，对印度各邦采用电动汽车的情况进行了分析。我们确定了影响电动汽车和 CI 扩展的关键宏观经济因素，并提供了一个框架，为各邦采取有针对性的政策干预措施提供信息，以优化其电动汽车生态系统的发展。我们的分析表明，拥有较高社会经济指标和全面电动汽车政策的州在电动汽车采用方面表现出色。此外，我们还为表现较差的州提出了一项基准战略，引导它们通过有针对性的基础设施投资提高效率。这种以数据为导向的方法可以为政策制定者提供信息，帮助他们制定有效的战略，加快发展强大的电动汽车生态系统。

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.
