The Copenhagen Climate Change Conference will likely see some governments commit to electric vehicle deployment. Datamonitor questions whether there will be a similar commitment from governments to work with utilities to provide the necessary infrastructure to support widespread deployment of electric vehicles.
Scope
- Emissions legislation
- Electrification of vehicles
Highlights of this title
While Copenhagen will not precipitate an overarching international agreement on greenhouse gas emissions, there will likely be an increased commitment to deploy electric vehicles.
Datamonitor is skeptical that government enthusiasm for electric vehicles will be matched by their enthusiasm to help develop the required infrastructure to support widespread deployment of electric vehicles.
The abdication of responsibility for network build out by governments to utilities will create huge opportunities for technology companies, particularly systems integrators.
