Abstract

The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has been examined in various settings, yet the issue has rarely been addressed for less developed settings in terms of transport institutions, policies and practices. Turkey, with its rapidly growing emerging economy, presents such a setting for the adoption of EVs. There are various reasons for why the adoption of EVs is still considerably limited in Turkey. A multi-dimensional and multi-actor analysis of the EV landscape can help us better understand the dynamics of transition to EVs. In this paper, a Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework is used to examine the current state of EV adoption in Turkey and to interpret the prospects of a possible transition to EVs. Our study shows that a potential transition to EVs in Turkey presents many socio-technical challenges to overcome including current policies, institutions, market dynamics, technological infrastructure, and social limitations. The insights from this review can be used for settings where policies and institutions are not developed enough to achieve a transition to EVs.
