Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The study provides an institutional strategic assessment of the development of electric mobility in the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account international trends and national characteristics. Market diagnostics are based on statistics, regulatory and legal analysis, surveys of electric vehicle owners, and interviews with stakeholders. This study represents one of the first integrated institutional and strategic assessments of the development of electric mobility in Kazakhstan, combining regulatory analysis, consumer survey data, stakeholder interviews and semi-quantitative structures of PESTEL and SWOT in the context of the emerging electric vehicle market in Central Asia. The market’s high sensitivity to institutional policy is demonstrated: with state support, the strategic position becomes stable (SWOT index +1.65), and without it, critically vulnerable (−4.05). The conclusions of the study form a scientifically sound basis for the development of a comprehensive state program for the development of electric mobility, focused on regulatory unification, infrastructure modernization, and institutional coordination.
