| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines how governments can accelerate the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) through effective, efficient, and equitable policy interventions. It integrates global evidence, expert insights from a Delphi study, and a behavioural choice–diffusion model (VPDM) to simulate BEV uptake under six policy scenarios. A benefit–cost analysis incorporates sensitivity, risk, and distributional analysis, as well as non-monetary qualitative inputs. A political economy analysis assesses how macro-socioeconomic factors influence policy feasibility and proposes a diagnostic tool to evaluate country-specific BEV readiness, bridging the gap between theoretical effectiveness and practical implementation. Finally, the study offers recommendations grounded in the Australian context, with relevance for similarly situated nations. | |
