EV Readiness Analysis

 EV Readiness in Quito - Ecuador 
Picture
The measure being considered is the replacement of the BRT diesel buses with electric ones in a progressive manner, in order to substitute the fleet according to its age and thus contributing to a significant reduction of GHG emissions. This measure should of course be followed by the replacement of the feeder buses, as well as the more than 2,000 regular diesel buses (40 seats) not connected to the BRT system, which circulate in the city (Pacheco, 2014).

​E-mobility in Ibagué - Colombia

Picture
Urban transport and mobility have, over the years, become an essential concern for city authorities and planners whose challenges have grown, especially towards improving sustainable transportation systems. With the advancement of electric mobility in transport, electric bicycles have also seen significant increase in usage many cities globally. A fact-finding mission by the Dutch Cycling Embassy on cycling in Colombia reported that there is a steady growth in biking in major Colombian cities, with the popularity of e-bikes also increasing over time (Berenschot and Urbanos, 2015).

E-mobility in South Africa

Picture
Transportation has been a key driver of economic and social activity, and also one of the largest and fastest growing energy end-user sectors. An uptake of electric vehicles is envisaged to be an important part of low-carbon technology pathways for transportation. The Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI) supports the phasing out of conventionally fuelled vehicles and increase the share of electric vehicles in the total volume of individual motorised transports in cities to at least 30% by 2030. Within this context the preceding chapters evaluate the Electric Vehicle Readiness (EV-Readiness) of the Republic of South Africa’s city of Cape Town. The evaluation that follows includes a review of the policy environment, contributions to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nation’s New Urban Agenda. While in many respects the Republic of South Africa has made numerous advancements, this paper identifies that the governing administration of SA needs to increase support towards infrastructure development and support the EVs industry switch over. Both users and industry review the taxation policy for the uptake of EVs into the current environment, provide for a tax incentive for those users who want to make the shift, and engage with all stakeholders in the process of EVs adaptation and implementation.

E-mobility in Ghana

Picture
​Based on the assessment of electric mobility options for Accra, as stipulated in the previous section, this study proposes the electrification of the bus service sector with specific consideration for the Quality Bus Service (QBS) under operation in Accra. This is partly based on the rationale that the QBS is part of Government’s effort to promote mass transportation in Accra and as indicated, fits into the nationally determined contributions of the country to the global agenda to reduce GHGs emissions. Any initiative to promote this policy action is likely to receive the needed stakeholders’ support.

​E-vehicles in Thimphu

Picture
Bhutan plans to make Thimphu a clean Green Electric city (Tshering, 2014), along with the aim to achieve zero emissions in the transportation sector. The Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) initiated the introduction of Electric Vehicle (EV) but the market for EVs is still nascent. This paper gives an overview of e-mobility in the kingdom of Bhutan and in the capital city of Thimphu - on its status, measures considered, and political and technical support/barriers for its implementation.

E-vehicles in Kathmandu

Picture
The ​Nepalese e-mobility sector is still in a nascent phase, but the support from the government and private sectors are seen to foster electric vehicles (EVs) in the country. This paper gives an overview of e-mobility in Nepal and in the capital city of Kathmandu - on its status, measures considered, and political and technical support of its implementation.

E-Rickshaws in Kochi

Picture
The Indian e-mobility sector has seen steady growth in momentum, especially since the central government of India has outlined a target to electrify vehicles more than 30% by 2030. This paper gives an overview of e-mobility in India, on the status of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, their potential impact, and political and technical support for implementation. Following the overview of EVs, the paper then discusses the implementation framework and feasibility for e-rickshaws in the city of Kochi.

E-mobility in Belo Horizonte

Picture
The low-carbon mobility system was launched in 2016 by the governor of the State of Minas Gerais. The municipality of Belo Horizonte, on the other hand, has already tested and is starting to promote e-taxis and e-buses.

Since 2010 Belo Horizonte has an innovative Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, called PlanMob-BH, with comprehensive measures related to TOD, BRT and bike solutions, which include the planning and construction of a 23 km BRT system called MOVE BRT, a bike sharing system with 40 stations and 400 bikes, 2 pedestrianized streets, 150 km of bike lanes, Zones 30, Fahrradstraßen, among others.
