In this paper a new designed test bench for an entire EV with an integrated inductive charging system is presented. Especially the testing of misalignment and the consideration of the vehicles underfloor can be realized very easy.

Focusing on the German market and using the test case of a renowned logistics service provider who trialed e-vehicles for commercial transport, this paper discusses potential shifts in grocery shopping habits, maps out perspectives, prerequisites and challenges for a shift to electric vehicles for their distribution and derives recommendations for industry and politics based on the findings.

This paper reviews recent research and developments of lithium-ion battery used in EVs. Widely used methods of battery sorting are presented.

In this paper the authors derive basic requirements for building interoperable reservation systems and identify four generic approaches to reservation.

Due to the increasing need to accumulate electricity, hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) have become very common in recent years in various applications, from electric vehicles (EVs) to smart grids and renewable energy.

This paper focused on the integration of renewable sources and storage systems in the household sector with a special attention to the adoption of home smart charging infrastructures for electric vehicles.

This working paper assesses battery electric vehicle costs in the 2020–2030 time frame, using the best battery pack and electric vehicle component cost data available through 2018. The assessment analyzes the timing for price parity for representative electric cars, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles compared to their conventional gasoline counterparts in the U.S. light-duty vehicle market.

Nurturing the EV ecosystem at a time when the market has seen contraction can be a daunting task. Moreover, resources are limited, and they need to be leveraged carefully and with precision. At this stage, while the supply side is slowly evolving despite major concerns around incremental investments, the demand side will need to be boosted quickly.

This briefing paper analyzes 2018 electric vehicle uptake in the United States and the policy factors that are driving it. The paper catalogues forty-three unique city, state, and utility electric vehicle promotion actions and their implementation across the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas in 2018.

Spain is one of the strongest hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) markets in Europe in terms of total sales volumes and relative European market shares. This paper reviews how programs, regulations, and incentives at the national, regional, and local level have shaped the HEV market in the country.
