Limited empirical research has examined readiness for EMV adoption in Zambia. Existing global studies largely analyse EMV adoption within developed economies where enabling conditions such as advanced charging infrastructure, stable electricity grids, mature financing systems, and strong regulatory frameworks already exist.

Across these studies, stakeholder perspectives on EV adoption barriers are collected only from commercial vehicle operators, logistics firms, and car dealers (Zambia) or from general consumers in urban India; no study systematically prioritizes barriers through structured expert elicitation or multi-stakeholder consensus in a low-income African country where enabling conditions differ fundamentally from studied contexts.

None of these studies measure or prioritize the relative importance of barriers to EV adoption in Ethiopia specifically; research on EV adoption barriers exists for India, Zambia, MENA countries, and China, but Ethiopia—a low-income country with distinct infrastructure, grid, and financing constraints—is not empirically examined.
