Multi-Criteria Selection of Electric Delivery Vehicles Using Fuzzy–Rough Methods

Urban logistics implementation causes environmental pollution; therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact on the environment when carrying out such logistics. Electric vehicles are alternative vehicles that reduce the impact on the environment. For this reason, this study investigated which electric vehicle has the best indicators for urban logistics. An innovative approach when selecting such vehicles is the application of a fuzzy–rough method based on expert decision making, whereby the decision-making process is adapted to the decision makers. In this case, two methods of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) were used: SWARA (stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis) and MARCOS (measurement alternatives and ranking according to compromise solution). By applying the fuzzy–rough approach, uncertainty is included when making a decision, and it is possible to use linguistic values. The results obtained by the fuzzy–rough SWARA method showed that the range and price of electric vehicles have the greatest influence on the selection of an electric delivery vehicle. The results of applying the fuzzy–rough MARCOS method indicated that the Kangoo E-Tech Electric vehicle has the best characteristics according to experts’ estimates. These results were confirmed by validation and the application of sensitivity analysis. In urban logistics, the selection of an electric delivery vehicle helps to reduce the impact on the environment. By applying the fuzzy–rough approach, the decision-making problem is adjusted to the preferences of the decision makers who play a major role in purchasing a vehicle.

How Does the Public React to the Electric Vehicle Tax Incentive Policy? A Sentiment Analysis

While there are arguments suggesting that tax incentives can expedite the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), there are also counterarguments proposing that these incentives may exacerbate external costs. As a result, the government may need to incorporate public opinion as an input in formulating the most suitable approach to promote the adoption of electric vehicles within society. The purpose of this study is to investigate public sentiment on EV tax incentives in Indonesia through Twitter. This study utilizes text mining to examine public attitudes and sentiments toward EV using Twitter data. The sentiment analysis model employed is the Indonesian RoBERTa Base Sentiment Classifier. The data utilized in this study consists of Twitter posts spanning from May 2022 to May 2023. The final dataset for analysis comprises 99,856 tweets, each identified by a unique tweet ID. The results show that neutral sentiment dominating the tweet post from negative and positive sentiment. We also found that 56% are supporters and 44% are opposing groups. Tax incentive policies may not always be supported in terms of being considered unfair or inappropriate. Our finding shows three topics that are important for the public about EV: the price of electric vehicles, environmental issues, and EV infrastructure. This study demonstrates that tax incentives or price subsidies may not consistently receive positive perceptions or full support from society. Certain policies considered by specific stakeholders may diminish the effectiveness and expected outcomes of these measures. Our findings have several contributions for knowledge development and tax policy makers.

Tinjauan Aspek Finansial Penggunaan Mobil Listrik dalam Upaya Mendukung Penurunan Emisi Gas CO2


 
 
 
 ABSTRACT
 The increase in the price of fuel oil (BBM) in the third quarter of 2022 will have a huge impact on the economy of the community. In addition to inflation, which was also followed by an increase in the price of basic commodities, this also reduced people's mobility in the use of oil-fueled vehicles. The government should use this as a momentum to promote the use of electric vehicles. On the other hand, the price of electric vehicles is still relatively high (expensive) when compared to oil-fueled vehicles. Although from a financial perspective, the use of electric vehicles can be more profitable if it is reviewed within a certain period. This can be shown by the lower cost per kilometer between electric vehicles compared to oil-fueled vehicles. From the point of view of cost comparison analysis over a certain period, the use of electric vehicles is more profitable than oil-fueled vehicles. It is hoped that the tendency of the community can be diverted to using electric vehicles. So that it can indirectly reduce the use of oil-fueled vehicles which is in line with efforts to reduce global warming.
 
 
 

Influence of Climate Change on High School Students' Attitudes Towards Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are gaining interest due to their increasing affordability, improved design, and longer range. Generation Z buyers currently comprise a small percentage of new electric vehicle purchases, but will dominate as the largest consumer group in the automotive industry during the next 10-20 years. To test the level of interest in electric vehicles by the high school subset of Generation Z, 56 anonymous individuals were surveyed to solicit their opinions. The survey asked for each participant's opinion on climate change and electric vehicles in an attempt to find a correlation between a person's attitude towards climate change and that person's interest in electric vehicles. I hypothesized there would be a positive correlation between a student's view on climate change and their perception of electric vehicles. Using a Pearson's correlation study, a positive, but weak, correlation was found between the two topics. Based on the data's p value, the correlation was determined to be statistically insignificant, rejecting my original hypothesis. Through an exploratory data analysis of the survey results, it was found that most high school students are aware of climate change, but their awareness alone may not influence their lifestyle choices to lessen the problem. I found that the respondents were more concerned about the price of electric vehicles than their environmental benefits. Despite observing a weak correlation, this study indicated that if price were not a factor, purchasing an electric vehicle would be more strongly considered by those who care about climate change than those who do not.

A Study on Consumers’ Intention and Buying Behaviour towards the Purchase of Electric Vehicles with Special Reference to Coimbatore City

Electric Vehicles are advanced technology for success in tenable transport sector in the future due to the cost effective low maintenance, Easy driving.This paper present briefly some exposure of Electric Vehicle including its Industries consumer perceptions and adaptation of Electric Vehicle behaviour, attitudes towards Electric Vehicle, environment benefit of Electric Vehicle, and its battery life. The government has to take initial measures to develop the usage of Electric Vehicle among consumer and the price of Electric Vehicles should be affordable by the consumers. The automobile industries have to develop the Electric Vehicle production.

Energy Consumption, Pollutant Emissions and Cost of Electric Vehicles and Fuel Vehicles

With the depletion of the earth’s energy and the deterioration of the environment, since the United Nations issued the Sustainable Development Goals, all countries have begun research and policies aimed at energy conservation and emission reduction. In the fields of transportation and automobiles, electric vehicles have great potential as an envisioned alternative to conventional fuel vehicles. This article first describes the relevant knowledge about the GREET model and the WTW evaluation system and then discusses and evaluates the differences in energy consumption, pollution emissions and personal use costs between electric vehicles and conventional fuel vehicles. The research results show that the energy consumption of electric vehicles is 11 % lower than that of conventional fuel vehicles. Pollutant emissions of electric vehicles are significantly lower than that of fuel vehicles and their emissions are mainly concentrated in the power generation stage and the overall price of electric vehicles is lower, and the proportion of fuel consumption is smaller than that of conventional fuel vehicles. This article provides a data basis for judging of electric vehicles advantages and development prospects and contribute to reducing social energy consumption and improving environmental degradation.
