Building Blocks of Electric Vehicle Deployment: A Guide for Developing Countries

This report lays out a framework for policymakers, regulators, and other decision-makers in developing countries for EV deployment through seven “building blocks” that address technical, institutional, or economic topics.

Vehicle electrification is a promising pathway to achieving clean energy transitions. To navigate this transition effectively, developing countries need to understand the foundational pillars or “building blocks” that undergird effective electric vehicle (EV) deployment. This report lays out a framework for policymakers, regulators, and other decision makers in developing countries for how to plan, implement, and scale electric vehicle deployment in their jurisdictions. The "building blocks" of electric vehicle deployment address particular technical, institutional, or economic topics that together underpin a safe, sustainable and efficient transition to an electrified transport sector. The building blocks include:

  • Targets and incentives
  • Data management
  • EVSE standards and communication
  • Charging infrastructure
  • Tariff design
  • Grid planning and management
  • Workforce development
