Public procurement of electric vehicles as a way to support a market : Examples from Sweden
(2017) In International Journal of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles 9(3). p.253-268- Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly seen as a desirable sustainable solution for the transport sector, and public procurement is often highlighted as one tool to stimulate a market. In this paper, we analyse the role of Swedish municipalities in relation to public procurement and especially whether and in such cases how municipalities in Sweden use public procurement as an instrument to enhance a market for EVs. The strategy in both municipalities was to let the municipal organisations act as role models, create buying power and develop a second-hand market for EVs. The strategy to speed up diffusion within the municipal organisation was through information and test-driving and in dialogue with the administration solve problems... (More)
Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly seen as a desirable sustainable solution for the transport sector, and public procurement is often highlighted as one tool to stimulate a market. In this paper, we analyse the role of Swedish municipalities in relation to public procurement and especially whether and in such cases how municipalities in Sweden use public procurement as an instrument to enhance a market for EVs. The strategy in both municipalities was to let the municipal organisations act as role models, create buying power and develop a second-hand market for EVs. The strategy to speed up diffusion within the municipal organisation was through information and test-driving and in dialogue with the administration solve problems that arise. A potential improvement of the diffusion process would be to find ways to share the extra cost of an EV.
