The state of clean transport policy: a 2014 synthesis of vehicle and fuel policy developments
2014
Author(s): Miller JD, Façanha C
A synopsis of advances in national and international regulations intended to reduce energy use, mitigate climate change, and control air pollution from motor vehicles and fuels across eleven major vehicle markets in 2013 and 2014.
The reduction of upstream greenhouse gas emissions from flaring and venting
2014
Author(s): Malins C, Searle S, Baral A, Galarza S, Wang H
A report for the European Commission describing regulatory options to allow crediting under the EU’s Fuel Quality Directive of upstream emission reductions from decreased venting and flaring of gas at oil drilling sites.
Annual statistical portrait of technologies, fuel consumption, and GHG and pollutant emissions in Europe’s passenger car, light commercial, and heavy-duty fleets.
This study estimates the effects of the timing and intensity of policies and adds uncertainty about technological progress to the previous study’s analysis of uncertainty about the market’s response. The analyses presented in this report are based on Scenario 2 of the previous report, in which the ZEV standards are enforced through 2025 and continued at the 2025 level through 2030 and then ended.

The report assesses the current status of the electric car market, the deployment of charging infrastructure, and the integration with the electricity grid at country level. It analyses the role of European, national, and local policy frameworks in supporting these developments. The analysis also provides insights on consumer behaviour and includes an outlook on the progress of electric mobility in the Nordic region up to 2030. NEVO 2018 has been developed in co-operation between the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Nordic Energy Research.
Global EV outlook: understanding the electric vehicle landscape to 2020
2013
Author(s): International Energy Agency
The report presents primary data collected from EVI member governments on EV and related infrastructure deployment goals; policies, programmes, and incentives; deployment progress; and investments in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D); all of which informs an analysis of global market trends and progress in electric vehicle deployment and the implications for technology and policy.
Global EV outlook 2016: beyond one million electric cars
2016
Author(s): International Energy Agency
This report aims to provide an update on recent EV developments, providing detailed information on the recent evolution of EV registrations (vehicle sales), the number of EVs on the road, their modal coverage across the most relevant global vehicle markets. The analysis also looks at the availability and characteristics of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), reporting on the evolution of deployment rates. The report includes a review and a discussion of key elements on policy support, both for EVs and EVSE.
The Bhutan electric vehicle initiative: scenarios, implications, and economic impact
2016
Author(s): Zhu D, Patella DP, Steinmetz R, Peamsilpakulchorn P
This report aims to help Bhutan think through various technical and policy issues of introducing electric vehicles in its own context. It analyses a variety of factors that will impact adoption of electric vehicles from technical, market and financial feasibility to consumer awareness and stakeholders’ capacity. It also addresses several policy questions which are at the heart of public debate such as affordability of the government to undertake the program, economic costs and benefits, distributional impact, fiscal, and macroeconomic implications.
