This study envisages to investigate the hurdles in widespread usage of Electric-Vehicles(EVs) on a global scale by using cross-country panel data. This paper empirically studies the impact of wide range of parameters like policies & incentives, national commitments, socioeconomic factors, charger infrastructure, fuel price and renewables on cross-country EV demand by using two-way Fixed Effect Model. Policies like setting up of EV and charger targets, providing fiscal subsidies and sociodemographic factor of age and Gross Domestic Product/capita, higher renewable energy production and higher number of chargers have a positive impact on EV demand. High Gasoline price has a positive effect on Battery EVs demand while regions of lower population density like non-urban areas are more likely to adopt EVs. Also, national commitments to initiatives like EV30@30 is observed to have mostly positive impact across different factors suggesting that green initiatives positively impact the national EV demands. Based on the obtained results, relevant policy implications are discussed.

本研究旨在通过使用跨国面板数据来调查在全球范围内广泛使用电动汽车 (EV) 的障碍。本文通过使用双向固定效应模型实证研究了政策和激励措施、国家承诺、社会经济因素、充电基础设施、燃料价格和可再生能源等广泛参数对跨国电动汽车需求的影响。制定电动汽车和充电器目标、提供财政补贴和年龄和国内生产总值/人均社会人口因素、提高可再生能源产量和增加充电器数量等政策对电动汽车需求产生积极影响。高汽油价格对电池电动汽车的需求产生积极影响，而非城市地区等人口密度较低的地区更有可能采用电动汽车。还，据观察，国家对 EV30@30 等倡议的承诺对不同因素产生了积极影响，这表明绿色倡议对国家电动汽车需求产生了积极影响。根据获得的结果，讨论了相关的政策含义。
