Integrated Entropy-EDAS Methods for the Electrified Car Selection Problem

Öz

Increasing air pollution affects the environment and life negatively. For a sustainable environment and life, people, voluntary organizations, and governments need to work on the solution of this problem. The biggest sources of air pollution are transportation vehicles. For this reason, many countries in Europe have stated that they will use solely electrified cars to reduce air pollution in the future. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to determine the best electrified car. The result obtained can support consumers that to intend to buy an electrified vehicle in the decision-making process. This problem is a typical multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and some MCDM techniques are used to solve these problems. Here, the Entropy method was used to determine the weights of the selection criteria. Selection criteria was determined according to comprehensive literature survey and interviews with sales representatives. The EDAS (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution) method was used to rank the electrified car alternatives that sold in Turkey. As a result of the evaluation, the most important criteria was determined by the price of the vehicle, the net battery capacity, and the electric motor power. According to these criteria, the electrified car manufactured in China was chosen as the best.
