The study assesses opportunities to boost EV adoption in LMICs by managing used EV imports and retrofitting older ICE vehicles. With rising motorization and growing emissions, the project explores cost-effective strategies to address financial and infrastructure challenges limiting EV uptake in these regions.
Objective
With rising motorization and emissions in LMICs, this study explores strategies to increase EV adoption by assessing the potential for importing used EVs and retrofitting existing ICE vehicles. It addresses key barriers such as high upfront costs, limited infrastructure, and policy gaps.
