Electric Vehicles Charging Infrastructure Framework for Smart Transportation

Abstract

The issue of increasing manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) in industries and adoption of EVs by the public has become a universal need of fast-growing society and developing countries but manufacturing and adoption of EVs are not satisfactory rather poor due to several reasons which are to be focused and need to be minimized very fast. Providing charging infrastructure to EVs for the public is also not up to the mark. So, it seems that ongoing technologies are to be modernized in developing countries. This paper analyzes the present scenario of developing countries’ markets and proposes a new system that may be effective and may minimize obstructions that are redundant in the way of manufacturing and adoption of EVs. Political Economic Social Technological Environmental Legal Industry (PESTELI) analysis has been employed to show the happenings in the economic & business environment. Soft system methodology (SSM) may be a suitable approach for studying reasons/root causes for not rapid enhancement of manufacturing and adoption of EVs. SSM is applied to develop a framework that provides the way to encourage a manufacturer to produce EVs in large no. and to adopt EVs by the public. The paper develops a framework for the management of transportation systems using PESTELI analysis and Soft System Methodology (SSM). The proposed framework also gives the reasons for the present situation.
