The wide adoption of electric vehicles around the world is one of the ways of reaching 2030 and 2050 emission targets. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has been pushing that message consistently, as Jaidev Dhavle, Associate Programme Officer at IRENA made clear in a recent e-tech interview. One of our approaches, he says, “ is to focus on crucial “end-use” sectors that can benefit from a greener model. At the Innovation and Technology Centre in Bonn that I’m a part of, there are five end-use areas that are of key interest which include promoting the adoption of electric vehicles and energy storage solutions.”
While the adoption of EVs has surged over the last ten years, many doubt that the market will be able to grow enough to help reach net zero emission targets by 2050. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), road transport contributes to one sixth of global emissions. It warns that to attain the net zero scenario, “electric car sales must reach around 65% of total car sales in 2030.”
While growth was on track in 2023, sustained efforts need to be made to stay on course, including the greater deployment of a charging infrastructure, which is not meeting requirements for the time being. “The number of public charging points is increasing but deployment must accelerate,” the organization advises.
