Breaking down the barriers to large-scale electric vehicles adoption

Thu, 02/03/2023 - 07:53
Go Green

Although there are still some obstacles to the widespread use of electric vehicles, companies can implement several techniques to overcome them.

With rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, one would think that electric vehicles (EVs) should be more popular and widespread by now. But unfortunately, the internal combustion engine still plays the most prominent role in vehicle design. Even though it vastly contributes to the issue of global warming, its production remains strong in the market and continues to hinder EV development.

Despite their established presence in society, EV adoption has been slower than anticipated due to challenges such as carbon emissions and the complexity of producing EVs and their batteries. Nevertheless, manufacturers can significantly reduce the barriers to EV production and encourage consumers to embrace electric mobility.

How to break down the barriers to large-scale EV adoption?

Making EVs more appealing to consumers

Designing, developing, and producing more attractive EV models for consumers is essential to achieve its full adoption. A good example would be entering the pickup truck segment by creating electric pickup trucks.

Produce economically viable models for the industry

This means creating electric vehicles with battery costs that reach economic viability, making them profitable.

Finding the talent needed to scale production

Considering that the batteries, electric motors, and software running these vehicles are all relatively new, it is crucial to find those who can design, develop, and produce them at scale. This will surely help to break down the barriers slowing the full adoption of EVs. It's equally important to improve and develop their abilities.

Creating the charging infrastructure

To reduce range anxiety - one of the most significant barriers to EV adoption from the start - it is necessary to build the required charging infrastructure. With enough charging infrastructures, consumers are confident in the range of their vehicles and know they can charge them at home, work, etc.

Provide proper training and implement EV-related protocols

For instance, several protocols must be followed when handling electric vehicle incidents. Firefighters responding to accidents are a prime example of this, as they require new training to handle EVs involved in accidents and thermal events.

In brief, a path can be followed to large-scale EV adoption, despite the slow consumer adoption. While the current battery cost means that an EV and an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE) are economically equivalent, companies can undoubtedly begin to break down this and other barriers so that soon everyone is on board with electric mobility without reservation.
