Electric vehicles for smarter cities: the future of energy and mobility
2018
Author(s): World Economic Forum
This report examines the major trends affecting the transformation of energy and mobility systems, with a special focus on cities. Topics addressed include: electrification, decentralization and digitalization of the energy system, along with the shift towards electric, shared and autonomous mobility.
Understanding investment, trade, and battery waste management linkages for a globally competitive electric vehicles manufacturing sector
2022
Author(s): Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), ClimateWorks Foundation, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation
Increasing the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) is a strategic objective of the Government of India. The development of the Indian EV landscape, however, is likely to entail momentous investment and for this level of investment to take place, India's EV ecosystem will have to be globally competitive.
Thermal and Electrical Characterization of an Electric Vehicle Battery Cell, an Experimental Investigation
2022
Author(s): Gungor S, Cetkin E, Lorente S
This paper documents the experimental characterization of a Li-ion battery cell during the charging/discharging cyclic operations. The study of the battery cell is conducted in the absence of a cooling aid system and provides thermal and electrical insights.
What Affects Consumers’ Intention To Recycle Retired EV Batteries in China?
2022
Author(s): Dong B, Ge J
To understand consumers’ intention to recycle EVs’ retired batteries, a study using the theory of planned behavior, value-belief-norm (VBN) theory, and the benefit-risk analysis (BRA) model was combined with three extended factors, namely, recycling experience, policy incentives, and product after-sales.
An Immune Algorithm for Solving the Optimization Problem of Locating the Battery Swapping Stations
2022
Author(s): Zhang H, Zhang K, Zhou Y, Ma L, Zhang Z
In this paper, an integer programming problem model was formulated to reasonably locate battery swapping stations, where total costs (including construction, operation and maintenance, and travel costs) were minimized.
Determinants of Adoption Intention of Battery Swap Technology for Electric Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Adu-Gyamfi G, Song H, Nketiah E, Obuobi B, Adjei M, Cudjoe D
In this study, the adoption intention of BST for EVs is explored as BST′ success depends on consumer acceptance to guarantee pro-environmental consumption and pollution reduction. The current study extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with perceived benefits and knowledge.
Synergies Between Repositioning and Charging Strategies for Shared Autonomous Electric Vehicle Fleets
2022
Author(s): Dean MD, Gurumurthy KM, de Souza F, Auld J, Kockelman KM
This study couples charging and repositioning events to improve service quality (rider wait times), reduce empty travel due to repositioning or charging, and improve fleet utilization (average daily trips per vehicle and charging queues).
Why Are Charging Stations Associated With Electric Vehicle Adoption? Untangling Effects in Three United States Metropolitan Areas
2022
Author(s): White LV, Carrel AL, Shi W, Sintov ND
Many policies to support battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption involve the roll-out of public charging stations. While the greater density of public charging stations is correlated with higher BEV adoption, the mechanisms underlying this effect are not well understood.
