Factors influencing the readiness to adopt electric vehicles: A study on Pulau Langkawi as a potential low-carbon island

The government of Malaysia intends to transform Langkawi into Malaysia’s first low-carbon island by 2030 should to be proud of. However, every minute of the amounts of global greenhouse gas emissions and energy use can have an impact on a low-carbon island all around the world. By introducing electr...
