Electric Vehicles, Policy, Policy measures, Comparative case studies, Lesson-drawingAbstract
The problem of climate change is one of the problems that many countries are paying attention to mitigate and prevent impacts that may occur on humans both now and in the future. The use of electric vehicles (EVs) is considered one of the options that many countries use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to study and compare policies and draw lessons from policies to support the use of electric vehicles. By studying a comparable case study method, studying policy measures in Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Thailand.To obtain research findings for providing guidance to the government sector regarding policy measures to support the use of electric vehicles in Thailand. All three countries Norway, Netherlands, and United Kingdom there is a similar policy measure to support electric vehicles, namely the establishment of tax measures for electric vehicles issued on behalf of companies (company car tax). That is, electric vehicles issued on behalf of a company will receive a reduction in both the vehicle tax and the company's emissions tax. It can be said that it is supported through tax measures to create cooperation from the private sector. While in Thailand the government sector will support the release of electric vehicles for use in the workplace, they can be found in government agencies. However, the private sector still does not receive direct support like in other countries. Promoting the use of electric vehicles therefore requires comprehensive policy measures and links between sectors. In addition to supporting the automotive manufacturing sector, collaboration between public and private agencies is important in driving and supporting both users. Facilities and ecosystem for developing electric vehicles (EVs) for environmental quality and sustainability.
