Abstract: ?The paper aims is to define the possible efficient action of a public policy toward Electric Vehicles (EV) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) development. We will start our paper by a discussion on the market failures appealing for a public intervention in the EV and V2G activities. We then address three main dimensions of a coordinated public policy toward the development of an EV industry: 1) mitigate the currently high purchase price; 2) define a standard for infrastructure equipment, and 3) facilitate development of grid services businesses, which will both improve the electric system and make EVs more economically competitive. In this paper, we will investigate current barriers to widespread EV deployment, review the state of art of public policies toward these problems, then we propose some remedies for each of the identified problems and advocate integrated public action to address these problems.?
