This article focuses on why electric vehicles should be widely used and how to adopt the use of electric vehicles. The author states that the upstream pollution that they produce can be considered less severe as compared to petroleum vehicles. Incomplete combustion of fuels in internal combustion engine vehicles will cause harmful carbon dioxide emissions polluted to the environment. The article also highlights that although electric vehicles are costly, there are various policy mechanisms to use or switch to electric vehicles would be most cost-effective in the long run. The article provides a useful platform for our research project on the use of different kinds of incentives offered to influence consumers’ decisions in purchasing electric vehicles. Studies have shown that during the year 2000 to 2013, the total sales of EV has been constantly increasing in Norway. The increasing growth in the electric vehicle’s market is due to the incentives offered by the government to encourage greater usage of electric vehicles. Incentives provided for purchases of electric vehicles have also been introduced to consumers to adopt the use of electric vehicles throughout the years. While the research in the article was about mainly Norway, the article still provides useful information on how Singapore can adopt some of the incentives that are implemented by the Norwegian government can help to increase the greater usage of electric vehicles, which is a relevant aspect for our research project.
