Abstract

Electric vehicles are a key player in the global push for sustainable, low-emission transport. While developed countries are moving forward with EV adoption, developing economies have a separate set of barriers: lack of charging infrastructure, the expensive upfront cost of EVs, policy and regulatory gaps, not enough human expertise to power this strategic transition. and private costs, including charging, and traveling restrictions.

resources. Drawing on the literature, this paper considers some of the technical, economic and institutional challenges to EV deployment in developing countries, with a focus on humans – specifically education, training and workforce development. By suggesting feasible measures such as construction of smart infrastructure, incentive-based policies and capacity building efforts, the study offers strategic inputs to assist

policymakers, industry and academia fast track the move to electric mobility. In the end, tackling these challenges can put developing countries on a path to achieve the environmental and economic benefits that EVs offer and to make substantive contributions to the global decarburization effort
