The Global Electric-Vehicle Market Is Amped Up and on the Rise
2018
Author(s): Hertzke P, Müller N, Schenk S, Wu T
Pure electric vehicles (BEV) currently make up 66 percent of the global EV market. BEV sales are growing faster than those of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV). The Chinese market expanded by 72 percent over the previous year in 2017.
The Demographics of Decarbonizing Transport: The Influence of Gender, Education, Occupation, Age, and Household Size on Electric Mobility Preferences in the Nordic Region
2018
Author(s): Sovacool BK, Kester J, Noel L, de Rubens GZ
This paper argue that a deeper understanding of the social and demographic perspectives of electric vehicles (in comparison to other modes of transportation, such as conventional cars) is required.
Ensuring Driving on Electricity is Cheaper Than Driving on Gasoline
2018
Author(s): Nicholas M
This study provides a brief overview of the energy cost per mile for a vehicle using gasoline versus the energy cost per mile using electricity in the United States. It highlights the imperative to consider electricity costs for electric vehicles in the context of all competing
Design and Validation of a Tool for Prognosis of the Energy Consumption and Performance in Electric Vehicles
2018
Author(s): del Valle JA, Viera JC, Anseán D, Brañas C, Luque P, Mántaras DA, Pulido YF
This work develops a software tool to calculate and predict the energy consumption of an electric vehicle (EV) for any desired route. The software tool is based on a mathematical model of an electric vehicle, which relates the energy consumption of the vehicle with factors such as the speed and the terrain slope
Replacing Bengaluru’s Auto Fleet With Electric Autos Will Clean Up the Air and Save LPG
2018
Author(s): Thakur P, Pal S
A recent research paper released by TERI estimates and describes the status of tail pipe emissions in the form of carbon dioxide, particulate matter 10 (PM10) and nitrogen oxide emitted by two-stroke and four-stroke autos plying in Bengaluru.
This technology brief summarises the technologies for biogas production and biogas-powered vehicle fleets that are now available, both established and emergent. It assesses pricing, performance, and long-term viability, as well as best practises from throughout the world for accelerating the use of this important renewable transportation fuel.
How Battery Storage Can Help Charge the Electric-Vehicle Market
2018
Author(s): Knupfer S, Noffsinger J, Sahdev S
Electric vehicles are beginning to win considerable attention but are still rarely sighted on American roads. McKinsey estimates that there could be ten to eleven million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on US roads by 2030.
Integrating a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle with Vehicle-to-Grid Technology, Photovoltaic Power and a Residential Building
2018
Author(s): Robledo CB, Oldenbroek V, Abbruzzese F, van Wijk AJM
This paper presents the results of a demonstration project, including building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solar panels, a residential building, and a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) for combined mobility and power generation, aiming to achieve a net-zero-energy residential building target.
Lessons Learned on Early Electric Vehicle Fast-Charging Deployments
2018
Author(s): Nicholas M, Hall D
This white paper provides an overview of electric vehicle fast charging installed around the world and the lessons to be learned thus far. The authors review future-looking studies in the context of current deployments to interpret what the future might hold for the number of fast chargers needed going forward.
Modernizing Vehicle Regulations for Electrification
2018
Author(s): Lutsey N
This briefing summarizes existing practices and develops design principles related to adapting vehicle efficiency and CO2 standards in the 2020–2030 timeframe to enable a long-term transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs).
