Abstract:
This paper explores the potential for fostering globalization, environmental sustainability, and green growth by expanding the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) within the framework of China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative. The future of electric mobility is shaped by a complex interplay of technical, economic, and political factors, with ongoing debates surrounding the environmental and economic implications of EVs-particularly related to battery production and charging methods. This study reviews contrasting perspectives from scholars such as Y. Erofeev, T. Skrúcaný, R. Orvis, D. Weißbach, and C. Buchal. Using a benchmarking method that integrates political, economic, and geographic considerations, proposed is a model whereby China, leveraging its industrial leadership, can pilot a modular battery approach in selected OBOR regions. A favorable combination of these interrelated factors could enable electrification to be implemented at a sufficiently large scale and over a prolonged period.
Keywords – Electric vehicles, battery technology, green growth, political economy, modular battery systems. |
