Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the current situation and evaluate the opportunities for the development of the electric car market in selected Southeast Asian countries in the context of the current situation in the rest of the world. Currently, the electric car market is at an advanced stage of development in regions such as Western Europe, the USA, and China. It should be noted, however, that the number of electric cars in a given country results not only from market demand and access to vehicle charging networks but also from nonmarket mechanisms such as subsidies and tax or administrative solutions. It turns out that these are important elements that influence the final shape of a country’s market. This article analyses the current situation on the electric car market taking into account the legal, administrative, and tax conditions that affect the final number of vehicles and the infrastructure necessary for the operation and use of electric cars in selected Asian countries.
Highlights
Despite the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many spheres of daily economic life, electric car sales and the construction of infrastructure for their charging and use are accelerating worldwide
Governments and representatives of vehicle manufacturers alike are recognising that the transition to electric vehicles can be an opportunity to simultaneously pursue two fundamental, often mutually exclusive, goals, namely economic growth and sustainable development that address issues related to the reduction in negative environmental impact [1]
It is important to consider how to deal with the growing global demand for vehicles and, fuel consumption and air pollution, as well as emission of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxide (NOx ) and sulphur oxide (SOx )
Summary
Despite the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many spheres of daily economic life, electric car sales and the construction of infrastructure for their charging and use are accelerating worldwide. Governments and representatives of vehicle manufacturers alike are recognising that the transition to electric vehicles can be an opportunity to simultaneously pursue two fundamental, often mutually exclusive, goals, namely economic growth and sustainable development that address issues related to the reduction in negative environmental impact [1]. This article attempts to analyse the current market situation in selected Asian countries and presents potential directions of development. This article presents the benefits of transition to electric cars [3]. It is important to consider how to deal with the growing global demand for vehicles and, fuel consumption and air pollution, as well as emission of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxide (NOx ) and sulphur oxide (SOx )
