| description | Egypt has enacted policies to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in order to reduce their overall carbon footprint. However, the pace of transition remains limited, so the research aims to answer the following question: “How do current policies shape Egypt’s transition towards sustainable electric transport, and what additional measures can support this transition?" The study employs a qualitative analysis methodology, based on diffusion of innovation theory and conceptual framework, to analyze current policies in Egypt and identify challenges and gaps in their implementation. It also analyzes responses from 23 interviews with experts in the field, manufacturers, dealers, EV users, and non-EV users, as well as the policies of successful countries in this area. The research findings indicate several challenges hindering the adoption of EVs in Egypt, including a lack of purchase incentives, weak public awareness, and inadequate infrastructure. This necessitates the development of comprehensive and effective policies based on international best practices within a framework of six key factors to support this transition. Therefore, the study ultimately recommends the effective implementation of several recommendations to accelerate this process, such as strengthening incentives, raising public awareness, and accelerating the deployment of charging infrastructure for EVs. |
