Assessing the Impact of Sociopolitical Factors on the Rollout of Freight Electric Vehicles

The current decade will see the rise of electric mobility, particularly in the field of freight transportation. This is happening for a variety of reasons, some of which are inexpensive transportation for everybody, reduced emissions of greenhouse gases, and rising crude oil prices, amongst others. In this light, it is crucial to investigate the impact of the socio-political arena, which is and always has been one of the most important variables upon which the success of future electric freight mobility depends. To learn more about the societal and political variables at play, we have conducted a user-focused interview. The positive findings from this study will aid planners at both the federal and state levels, as well as those at original equipment manufacturers.
