Abstract

In recent years, the environmental awareness of people and governments in various countries has risen, so electric vehicles (EVs) have attracted more and more attention from all walks of life. A great many countries have established phased policy goals for EVs and introduced policies to support the development of EV-related industries. With the introduction of relevant environmental protection policies and measures in many countries, the vehicle industry has gradually transformed. Although Taiwan boasts many competitive advantages in developing the EV industry, it still faces two limitations in terms of market size and development direction. Taiwan’s governmental policy goals for EVs are not concrete enough, and the supporting measures are not well-rounded enough, which might impede the development of the EV industry. Consequently, this study presents the current situation of the Norwegian EV market and discusses the development trends and challenges of EVs as a reference for Taiwan.
