Abstract
Though EV sector has an old footprint in the automobile industrial sector, it is still struggling to create a firm base and promising future due to several reasons. Electric Vehicles offer a wide range of advantages compared to Internal Combustion Engine vehicles like low maintenance cost, higher efficiency, increased comfort and smart connectivity and more importantly its contribution to a greener environment by reducing Green House Gases. But due to less consumer awareness, failure in addressing the end-users perspectives by inefficient business models of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), lack of creating charging infrastructure and incentive policies of governments, lack of aggressiveness in implementing different environmental deals, the expected growth of EVs worldwide and also in Italy is staggering. The paper introduces to basics of Electric Vehicles and their evolution over the decades, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with comparison to IC Engines. It discusses EV Charging infrastructure in Italy and around the world, different business models adapted by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their limitations, perspectives of end-users in particular reference to drivers, government’s role in promoting EVs by creating public charging infrastructure, adapting new policies in the deployment of EVs in Italy and around the world. It also provides a brief introduction to different Environmental agreements undergone by governments on decarbonization policies and their implications on EV sector. Vehicle to Grid technology and its implications are discussed in brief. The thesis also makes a small attempt of providing recommendations to outcome certain limitations that are observed in the development of EVs for a near sustainable future. The year 2020 has changed the scenario of businesses of the whole world by COVD-19pandemic. Every human being on earth and his daily routine is facing its unprecedented ill effects and EV is not an exception. The thesis also addresses the post-pandemic implications of EV deployment.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
