The researchers found that focusing on the behavioral aspects of consumers in vehicle purchase decisions is key to encouraging the rapid uptake of plug-in hybrid vehicles, battery-electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. However, carbon taxes can be critical in pushing electricity providers to decarbonize their operations.

Far better fuel economy from cost-effective conventional technologies can keep fuel demand steady and save close to half the CO 2 emissions from cars by this date. carbon fuel vehicles will be needed to continue to decarbonize LDVs and reduce oil use out to 2050 and beyond. Thus a $500 tax would still allow consumers to keep 3?4

Assuming the China government remains committed to EVs, BCG expects that these vehicles will represent 7% of new vehicle sales in 2020, supported by car buyers’ enthusiasm for the technology and the country’s high gasoline taxes. A combination of peak oil with incentives or lower battery costs could increase EV penetration by 6%.

In addition, although many experts say that the solution to our energy and climate problems is sending the correct price signals to industry and consumers, the transport sector’s behavior is highly inelastic in that it does not change significantly in response to changes in fuel prices, at least in the range that is politically acceptable.
