The demand of electric vehicle is increasing day by day because of its contribution in environmental health. The main objective of this study was to explore the gender impact on pre-purchasing behaviour of consumers of electric vehicle.  The study was based on the quantitative design. The study was conducted in the Kathmandu valley among the electric vehicle users. The total sample size was 55. The standard structured questionnaire survey was used to collect the data. the study found that majority (72.7%) of the owner of electric vehicle were male. comparatively higher number (23.6%) customers had given most important to the information of electric vehicle based own their previous experience whereas least (1.8%) customers had given most important to the information disseminated through advertisement. Similarly, higher numbers (61.8%) customers reported that if they had any doubts or queries about the electric vehicle before purchasing decision, they directly consulted with the Company dealer to be clear in their queries. There was no impact of gender on pre-purchasing behaviour of customers of electric vehicles. Both male and female had similar practice of seeking the information before taking purchase decision. The future researcher should conduct the research on the purchase decision factors related to the electric vehicle users.

The motive behind the research is to find and analyse the impact of subjective norms and perceived behaviour control on the purchasing pattern of consumers while selecting eco-friendly products. The increase in consumer awareness related to environment has led a complete change in his/her lifestyle. The consumer of today is well knowledgeable but there are also certain more factors which derive his attitude in a positive direction towards green purchases which will be studied through this piece of research. The purpose of the research is study the factors influencing eco-friendly behaviour of consumers. The study on basis of extensive literature review develops a structured questionnaire, which through SPSS shows that both subjective norms and perceived behaviour control effect positively while making a green purchase decision. The research provides a number of implications for the marketer which can be used in sustainable development of the society.

The Impact

This article outlines methods to facilitate the assessment of the impact of electric vehicle charging on distribution networks at planning stage and applies them to a case study. As network planning is becoming a more complex task, an approach to automated network planning that yields the optimal reinforcement strategy is outlined. Different reinforcement measures are weighted against each other in terms of technical feasibility and costs by applying a genetic algorithm. Traditional reinforcements as well as novel solutions including voltage regulation are considered. To account for electric vehicle charging, a method to determine the uptake in equivalent load is presented. For this, measured data of households and statistical data of electric vehicles are combined in a stochastic analysis to determine the simultaneity factors of household load including electric vehicle charging. The developed methods are applied to an exemplary case study with Norwegian low-voltage networks. Different penetration rates of electric vehicles on a development path until 2040 are considered.

Paris Climate Agreement

As environmental regulations have been strengthened worldwide since the Paris Climate Agreement, the automobile industry is shifting its production paradigm to focus on eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles and hydrogen-battery vehicles. Governments are banning fossil fuel vehicles by law and expanding the introduction of green vehicles. The energy efficiency of electric vehicles that use a limited power source called batteries depends on the driving environment. Applying a two-speed transmission to an electric vehicle can optimize average speed and performance efficiency at low speeds, and achieve maximum speed with minimal torque at high speeds. In this study, a two-speed transmission for an electric vehicle has been developed, to be used in a compact electric vehicle. This utilizes a planetary gear of a total of three pairs, made of a single module which was intended to enable two-speed. The ring gear was removed, and the carrier was used in common. When shifting, the energy used for the speed change is small, due to the use of the simple method of fixing the sun gear of each stage. Each gear was designed by calculating bending strength and surface durability, using JGMA standards, to secure stability. The safety factor of the gears used in the transmission is as follows: all gears have been verified for safety with a bending strength of 1.2 or higher and a surface pressure strength of 1.1 or higher. The design validity of the transmission was verified by calculating the gear meshing ratio and the reference efficiency of the gear. The transmission to be developed through the research results of this paper has a simple and compact structure optimized for electric vehicles, and has reduced shift shock. In addition, energy can be used more efficiently, which will help improve fuel economy and increase drive range.
