manufacturing of batteries for vehicles;

Yes. The automotive industry/sector is the set of complementary activities that contribute, from upstream to downstream, to the production of the finished products that are cars,

transformation of steel used in the automotive industry;

whatever their engine type; it goes from the transformation of steel to the assembly of the vehicle through the manufacture of parts and accessories.

transformation of Lithium used in vehicle batteries;

Yes. The automm the transformation of steel to the assembly of the vehicle through the manufacture of parts and accessories.

automotive distribution and sales.

Yes. The automotive industry/sector is the set of complementary activities that bly of the vehicle through the manufacture of parts and accessories.

==================================================

Question 5

Among the countries that implement policies to support electric vehicles, we find: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

countries wanting to revitalize a historic automotive industry;

Yes. Depending on the country, the support for the electric vehicle can be explained in part by the opportunities it offers to revitalize declining historic industrial automobile sectors, t

countries wanting to develop a nascent automobile industry;

Yes. Depending on the country, the support for

countries with access to raw resources used in the manufacturing of batteries (e.g. Lithium);

Yes. Depending on the country, the support for the electric vehicle can be explained in part by the opportunities it offers to revitalize declining historic indu

countries with access to raw resources used in the manufacturing of electric motors (e.g. rare earths);

Yes. Depending on industrial sectors with the upstream or downstream of the value chain.

countries wanting to support the development of a battery industry;

Yes. Depending on the country, the support for the electric vehicle can be explained in part by the opportunities it offers to revitalize batteries, or to master integrated industrial sectors with the upstream or downstream of the value chain.

countries supporting the development of electricity production from renewable sources, whether solar or wind.

Question 6

Most non-oil producing countries that diversify the energy mix of their transport can hope in the short term to: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

improve their energy security;

Yes. Oil-importing countries that engage in an energy diversification approach reduce their exposure to the supply risks associated with an imported resource.

improve the control over their energy bill;

Yes. The diversification of the energy mix of transport can reduce the oil bill of importing countries and reduce the exposure of their economy to the volatility of oil prices.

get rid of the imported resources for the energy of their transport.

==================================================

Question 7

The oil bill: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

is the difference between the value of a country’s imports of petroleum products and the value of exports of petroleum products from that country;

Yes. This is the definition of the oil bill. The oil bill depends both on the volumes traded of oil and derivatives and the trading prices of these products.

is a minority portion of the total energy bill in France;

may experience large annual variations in oil-importing countries, even with stable consumption.

Yes. With stabilized consumption, oil-importing countries may experience large variations in their oil bill as a result of changes in the price of petroleum products on the markets.

==================================================

Question 8

According to the diffusion of innovations theory, mass market consumers: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

are waiting for a solution to their practical needs and their economic constraints;

Yes. This theory postulates that reaching the mass market requires innovation to prove its practical and economic relevance for the majority of consumers.

are less attracted than pioneer consumers by arguments of a technological or environmental nature;

Yes. Pioneer consumers may be attracted by particular characteristics, such as the innovative content or environmental benefits, which will not be enough to convince mass market consumers who are waiting for a solution to their practical needs and economic constraints.

constitute the real test of success of an innovation.

Yes. Most innovations stagnate or even disappear after winning their first ever pioneering consumer markets. Only a few innovations cross the “chasm” separating these pioneering markets from the mass market.

==================================================

Question 9

According to the sociotechnical transition theory, niche markets: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

are essential milestones for the diffusion of an innovation in the face of a socio-technical regime established in a dominant position;

Yes. In the face of a socio-technical regime established in a dominant position, innovations must find niche markets in which to develop before they can hope to establish themselves in a sociotechnical regime of their own and become part of the socio-technical landscape.

are made up of consumers who adopt an innovation because they have no alternative;

are small;

do not necessarily develop into a mass market.

Yes. Niche markets are milestones on the way to the mass market but do not guarantee its long-term success.

==================================================

Question 10

The models of household choice of automotive equipment: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

make it possible to analyze the trade-offs that potential buyers make between different attributes of the vehicles that are offered to them.

Yes. These models make it possible to quantify the trade-offs between purchase price and operating costs, between total costs of ownership and (battery) range, between costs and environmental performance, and so on.

can rely on data on the choice of automotive equipment made in the past by buyers.

Yes. Revealed preference surveys (for example, household travel surveys), but also automobile sales databases, may form the basis of some equipment models in that they provide

can rely on data from stated preference surveys.

ade by potential purchasers between different attributes of vehicles, including for vehicles not yet on the market.

Question 11

Constraint analyses of the demand potential of electric vehicles from households: (Select the correct answer(s))

1 / 1 point

test the compatibility of households with the electric vehicle according to a series of criteria.
