Financial Analysis of Charging Station (FACt)- a Tool for Easy Financial Evaluation of Public Charging Infrastructure Deployment in India
2023
Author(s): Das S, Bansal P, Mulukutla P
The MS-Excel-based tool ‘Financial Analysis of Charging station (FACt)’ (the “Tool”) has been developed to help build an understanding of the business case for rolling out public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in the Indian context.
Energy Management and Optimization of Large-Scale Electric Vehicle Charging on the Grid
2023
Author(s): Kene RO, Olwal TO
This paper investigates the grid energy consumption by EVs and reviews recent applications of EV charging controls and optimization approaches used for the energy management of large-scale EVs charging on the grid.
Key issues in LCA methodology for marine fuels
2023
Author(s): Carvalho F, O'Malley J, Osipova L, Pavlenko N
This paper highlights key decisions by comparing the different LCA methodologies of five existing fuel policies and then assessing the life-cycle GHG emissions of four marine fuels—soybean biodiesel, used cooking oil (UCO)-based renewable diesel, e-methanol, and hydrogen—across a variety of LCA scopes and assumptions.

An Empirical Analysis of Electric Vehicles’ Charging Patterns
2023
Author(s): Li Z, Xu Z, Chen Z, Xie C, Chen G, Zhong M
This study analyzes 11-month usage data from a large EV sample, including 3,777 battery EVs and 5,973 plug-in hybrid EVs. The authors leverage the data to uncover how, when, and where users in each group charge their EVs; investigate EVs’ energy consumption efficiency and its relationship to charging; and discuss EV-related policy implications.
Capacity Evaluation and Degradation Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs for On-Road Electric Vehicles
2023
Author(s): Liu H, Deng Z, Yang Y, Lu C, Li B, Liu C, Cheng D
In this paper, a capacity-calculating method specialized for EVs is proposed. This method uses an open circuit voltage (OCV) correction strategy to guarantee the battery state of charge (SOC) credibility.
Cradle-To-Grave Mercury Emissions of Light-Duty Gasoline and Electric Vehicles in China
2023
Author(s): Gan Y, Lu Z, Wu Q, He X, Dai Q, Kelly JC, Ankathi SK, Wang M
In this study, the authors show that vehicle electrification in China leads to an increase in automotive emissions of mercury, a persistent, global hazardous pollutant regulated in the United Nations Minamata Convention.
In this work the fuel cell electric vehicle introduced with their application working and benefits. The fuel cell vehicle cannot produce any emission.
