The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) have proven to be a crucial factor todecreasing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. However,there are various hurdles that impede people from purchasing EVs. For example,long charging time, short driving range, cost and insufficient charginginfrastructures available, etc. This article reports the public perception ofEV-adoption using statistical analyses and proposes some recommendations forimproving EV-adoption in Qatar. User perspectives on EV-adoption barriers inQatar were investigated based on survey questionnaires. The surveyquestionnaires were based on similar studies done in other regions of theworld. The study attempted to look at different perspectives of the adoption ofEV, when asked to a person who is aware of EVs or a person who may or may notbe aware of EVs. Cumulative survey responses from the two groups were comparedand analyzed using a two sample t-test statistical analysis. Detailed analysesshowed that among various major hindrances raising of public awareness of suchgreener modes of transportation, the availability of charging options in moreplaces and policy incentives towards EVs would play a major role inEV-adoption. The authors provide recommendations that along with governmentincentives could help make a gradual shift to a greater number of EVsconvenient for people of Qatar. The proposed systematic approach for such astudy and analysis may help in streamlining research on policies,infrastructures and technologies for efficient penetration of EVs in Qatar.
