EVs mass adoption in Colombia — A first approach model

In Colombia, the electrification of the transportation sector has become an interesting possibility to consider in order to reduce pollution, global warming and promote efficient vehicles. Currently, most vehicles run on an internal combustion engine (ICE). However, the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) raises questions regarding the impact of these alternative technologies on: users´ driving patterns, the mobility of cities, energy consumption, environmental impact, the energy distribution network, comfort conditions and adaptation to new ranges and speeds. Therefore, given their limitations, it is necessary to know the potential that the EVs technologies have in order to be properly adopted by users. This paper describes the application of a statistical prediction model, which determines the EVs technology that is most likely to be adopted in the city of Bogota, Colombia.
