Benefits of Electrifying App-Taxi Fleet – A Simulation on Trip Data from New Delhi
2022
Author(s): Rajagopal D, Sawant V, Bauer GS, Phadke AA
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) look to be critical to improving urban air quality, particularly in less-developed countries where cities are among the most polluted and fastest developing. However, despite sharp price drops in batteries and generous subsidies, BEV adoption in these countries remains low.
EVs Are Fast Winning Over the Hesitant Buyer. Better Charging Infra Will Accelerate It Further
2022
Author(s): Shankar A.
To save mankind from the impending disaster of global warming, the transition of transport away from fossil fuels is critical. The International Energy Agency (IEA) Report of last year on the feasible pathway to net zero by 2050 and restricting global warming to 1.5 degrees envisages the complete switchover in the world to EVs by 2035 and of electricity systems phasing out fossil fuel use around the same time.
