In its Global EV Outlook 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) posts record-breaking sales for electric cars globally. At the same time, the organisation sees challenges looming in the roll-out of charging infrastructure and the mineral supply for battery production. Accordingly, it puts forward five necessary recommendations to further spur the EV uptake in the near future.
1. Choose policies and tax incentives wisely
2. Promote adoption in developing countries
3. Support zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles
4. Expand charging infrastructure and smart grids
5. Govern the EV supply chain
