Characteristics and Experiences of Ride-Hailing Drivers with Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Sanguinetti A, Kurani K
This paper describes these drivers and their experiences to further understanding of motivations for and barriers to PEV adoption among TNC drivers. The TNC-PEV drivers in this sample clearly recognized, and were largely motivated by, economic benefits of fuel and maintenance savings, thus, increased net earnings, associated with using a PEV to provide ride-hailing services rather than a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle.
Electric Truck Economic Feasibility Analysis
2021
Author(s): Vijayagopal R, Rousseau A
This paper examines the sensitivity of total ownership cost (TCO) for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks with respect to battery and fuel costs. The results will help identify cost targets for battery packs for various types of trucks and will also highlight use cases where we are likely to see early adoption of these technologies.
This study identified several areas which could accelerate the development of the Australian hydrogen market. The focus is on activities that will advance near commercial sectors toward economic viability and confirmation / definition of industry standards.
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.
Pathways to Decarbonization: The European Passenger Car Market, 2021–2035
2021
Author(s): Mock P, Díaz S
As part of the roadmap to achieve its climate-neutrality goal, the European Commission will come forward with a proposal for revised CO2 targets for new passenger cars and vans by the middle of 2021. This paper assesses the CO2 reduction potential and associated estimated costs for currently adopted policies and policy scenarios.

The aim of this study is to analyse the charging behaviour of organisations, which already use BEVs in commercial transport.
Fast Charging Systems for Passenger Electric Vehicles
2020
Author(s): Wolbertus R, van den Hoed R
. This paper explores current and potential future use of fast charging stations for electric passenger vehicles. The aim of the paper is to analyse current charging patterns at fast charging stations and the role of fast charging among different charging options.
Review on the State of Charge Estimation Methods for Electric Vehicle Battery
2020
Author(s): Zhang M, Fan X
This paper reviews various representative patents and papers related to the state of charge estimation methods for an electric vehicle battery.
Moving a Taxi Sector to Become Electric: Characterizing Taxi Drivers Interested in Purchasing a Full Electric Vehicle
2020
Author(s): Tamis M, van den Hoed R
A case where a municipality was successful in stimulating the transition to electric mobility is the taxi sector in the city of Amsterdam. Using results from a survey study (n = 300), this paper analyses the differences in characteristics between taxi drivers that either have or do not have interest in purchasing a full electric taxi vehicle.
Real-World Driving Cycles Adaptability of Electric Vehicles
2020
Author(s): Sun Z, Wen Z, Zhao X, Yang Y, Li S
The performance of vehicles is usually evaluated using standardized driving cycle tests; however, the results from standardized driving cycle tests deviate from the real-world driving cycle.
