Author(s): Sheppard CJR, Jenn AT, Greenblatt JB, Bauer GS, Gerke BF
Transportation is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption globally.
Quantifying the Impact of Traffic on Electric Vehicle Efficiency
2022
Author(s): Jonas T, Hunter CD, Macht GA
This paper investigates the influence of driving in intense traffic conditions while considering the ambient temperature and driving behavior on BEV energy efficiency in a field study.
What Is the Level of People’s Acceptance for Electric Taxis and Buses? Exploring Citizens’ Perceptions of Transportation Electrification to Pay Additional Fees
2022
Author(s): Jean-Michel C, González-Rodríguez M
This paper proposes valuable insights into attitudes and preferences for taxi and bus users for the willingness to travel in EVs, by performing a convenience sampling, focusing especially on young users.
Charging Infrastructure to Support the Electric Mobility Transition in France
2021
Author(s): Bernard MR, Hall D, Lutsey N
This report investigates the amount, type, and distribution of charging infrastructure that will be needed to support the transition of the electric passenger car, taxi, private hire vehicle, and light commercial vehicle fleets through 2035 to put France on a path toward achieving 100% fully electric vehicle sales by 2040.
Too Much or Not Enough?
2022
Author(s): Metais MO, Jouini O, Perez Y, Berrada J, Suomalainen E
While the transportation sector is responsible for a growing share of greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles (EVs) offer solutions for greener mobility. The proportion of electric vehicles in transportation fleets is increasing, but wider adoption will not be possible without an appropriate charging infrastructure.
Greening Polish Transportation? Untangling the Nexus Between Electric Mobility and a Carbon-based regime
2022
Author(s): Lisa A, Szymanowski R
This paper examines the multilayered process of electric mobility development in Poland with its failures and successes, which does not necessarily translate into a sustainable transition of Poland’s transportation system.
Walking on Sunshine: Pairing Electric Vehicles with Solar Energy for Sustainable Informal Public Transport in Uganda
2022
Author(s): Booysen MJ, Abraham CJ, Rix AJ, Ndibatya I
This paper examines the impact of this inevitable evolution on a city-wide scale in Kampala, Uganda. The authors present a generic simulation environment to assess the grid impact and charging opportunities, given the unique paratransit mobility patterns.
