To study other aspects rising from EV penetration into the grid, this section presents other impacts that are crosslinked together including regulatory (political), economic, social and environmental ones in addition to their respective challenges, research gaps and potential recommendations as summarized in Tables 13, 14, 15 and 16 respectively. Regulatory/governmental aspect Many studies have investigated the influence of this impact and its future directions towards EV adoption involving the following points:

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.

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.
