This briefing provides an update on the growth in electric vehicle sales in California through 2017. It quantifies electric vehicle market growth across California local markets, provides broader U.S. market comparisons, and describes these developments in the context of California’s 2025–2030 goals.

This article introduces the multiple scenarios of the e-mobility evolution and introduces the related mechanisms in transmission and distribution grid, especially aimed at increase of power generation and distribution capacities.

Battery and fuel cell electric cars have been described as a solution to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 95 percent by 2050, but they would also impact the increasingly renewable electricity-based energy system.

The global automobile fleet is rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels. India has shown its desire, but it lacks a consistent strategy and road map.

Using panel data from fourteen countries between 2010 and 2015, this paper examines impact of seven factors in a multiple linear regression model. The factors include percentage of renewable energies in electricity generation, number of charging stations, education level, population density, gasoline price, GDP per capita and urbanization.

This paper is focused on reviewing all the useful data available on EV configurations, battery energy sources, electrical machines, charging techniques, optimization techniques, impacts, trends, and possible directions of future developments. Its objective is to provide an overall picture of the current EV technology and ways of future development to assist in future researches in this sector.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is widely recognized as the most promising battery technology for future electric vehicles (EV). To understand the environmental sustainability performance of Li-S battery on future EVs, here a novel life cycle assessment (LCA) model is developed for a comprehensive environmental impact assessment of a Li-S battery pack using a graphene sulfur composite cathode and a lithium metal anode protected by a lithium-ion conductive layer, for actual EV applications.

This paper reviews path-creation processes in road transport systems in the Nordic countries: e-mobility in Denmark, hydrogen and fuel-cell electrical vehicles in Norway, and advanced biofuels in Finland and Sweden.

The developments in electric vehicles (EVs) are driven by the agenda of cleaner and more efficient transport. The manufacturing cost of EVs are higher than that of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) mainly due to cost of batteries.

This research contributes to discussions about policy interventions to stimulate the transition of vehicle technology. Concentrating on passenger cars, an extensive system dynamics based market agent model of powertrain technology transitions within the EU up to 2050 is employed.
