TITLE:
“Barriers and incentives arise with use of electric cars in London.”
INTRODUCTION
Overview and background
These days, there is more trends among people about use of eco- friendly techniques, so
there will no negative impact on operations of society. There is use of proper understanding
about use of techniques with which environment protection is possible such as use of ultra low
emission vehicles which gives positive impact on protection as well. In country, climatic changes
are taking place with rapid speed , so in this case with use of proper tools and techniques it can
be reduced. This investigation will provides information about positive as well as negative
aspects which arise due to use of electric cars (Bergman, Schwanen and Sovacool, 2017). With
use of electric cars, there are some issues which people face such as charging point due to which
people might not prefers to use it. But at the same time, they have some benefits as well such as
environmental protection. In London, roads are smooth, so with use of electric cars, individual
can cover short distance but for long run, there is lack of charging points. If people prefers to
charge on road, then there is possibility of traffic jams.
When people are using eco- friendly vehicles positive impact on environment can be
achieved, this is cheap as compared to fuel, less expensive and maintenance is also low and it
does not make much noise, so pollution is also low. But there are negative impact too such as
charging points are not available readily, charging requires time as compared to fuel filling, does
not preferred for long distance, etc. due to these reasons sometimes people does not prefers to
purchase electric cars (Biresselioglu, Kaplan and Yilmaz, 2018). In current market, there are
many changes as well in electric vehicle such as improve battery charger, improvements in EV,
etc. There is requirement of proper understanding and evaluation through which people might
have interest in availing electric cars.
Rationale of research
Main motto behind selecting this topic is that researcher is related to technical
department, so it is easy for them to perform operations properly. This topic is new and relevant,
so respondents also share their views properly, so study will be relevant and specific. Researcher
can use this topic in future for conducting further in- depth investigation as secondary source of
1

information. In future, if researcher invest in electric cars, then they can perform actions with
understanding changes associated with it.
Research aim:
To determine the barriers and incentives for the use of electric cars
in London and to explore the incentives that can be used to increase
uptake and reduce barriers.
Research objectives
 To determine the incentives which help people get with use of electric cars in London.
 To ascertain the barriers faced with use of electric cars in London.
 To analyse the ways through which barriers associated with use of electric car can be
reduced.
Research questions
 What are the incentives which people get with use of electric cars in London?
 What are the barriers faced with use of electric cars in London?
 What are the ways through which barriers associated with use of electric car can be
reduced?
Gantt chart
Gantt chart shows information about time required to complete study (Cherubini,
Iasevoli and Michelini, 2015). As there are many actions which has to be performed for
completing the study, so in this case there must be proper understanding about policies with the
help of which individuals perform their actions in appropriate and specific manner.
