Impacto económico ambiental que producen los vehículos eléctricos comercializados en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The adoption of electric vehicles in Guayaquil is presented as a promising solution to address both economic and environmental challenges, such as the high demand for traditional vehicles that generate economic impact due to fuel consumption and other operating costs, as well as environmental impact due to emissions. of fossil fuels. Guayaquil, a city where vehicles are the predominant mode of transportation, faces economic and environmental challenges. Environmental awareness is growing, and many companies, including car manufacturers, are adopting greener approaches, such as electric vehicles, which do not emit polluting gases during use. From an economic perspective, electric vehicles can offer savings to users in terms of fuel consumption and operating costs. In addition, the adoption of electric vehicles can reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, thus promoting cleaner and renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric and solar power, which would contribute to energy sovereignty and economic resilience. However, challenges remain, such as a lack of awareness among citizens about electric vehicles and their benefits, as well as uncertainty about the longterm costs and benefits. Despite this, the acceptance of electric vehicles is on the rise. The study also focuses on the forecast methodology to assess the economic and environmental impact of electric vehicles in Guayaquil, considering variables such as vehicle type, charging infrastructure, cost, environmental impact, and government policies.
