In a bold and far-reaching move, India’s electric vehicle goals are set to flourish as Niti Aayog, the government’s thinktank brandishes the e-mobility mantra. The government aspires for a greener India by emphasising on the sale of only electric vehicles by 2030, or have a large percentage of EVs on the road by then. In this blogpost from "YourStory", the author Vishal Krishna highlights the various statewide developments in India's EV sector and future expectations.

India’s “leapfrog” vision of an electric, shared, and connected mobility system may result in a $300 billion domestic market for electric vehicle (EV) batteries between now and 2030, representing more than one-third of global EV battery demand over this time period, according to our new report.

This document by Agora Verkehrswende provides an analysis of the European Commission’s recent legislative proposal for new CO2 emissions standards for cars, along with two possible variations on the proposal. The document highlights the importance of these standards in meeting Germany’s transport sector targets and in furthering the roll-out of low and zero-emissions vehicles.

In this paper, Agora Verkehrswende, Agora Energiewende and Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) summarise the conclusions from a jointly commissioned analysis of distribution grid planning for the energy transition, with a focus on electromobility and offer wider considerations on the topic. The research was undertaken by contractors Navigant, Kompetenzzentrum Elektromobilität and RE-xpertise.

This paper presents models from psychology and sociology for understanding the motivation and process of behaviour change. What is common to all these models is the insight that behaviours change only when there is motivation, opportunity and capability. Simply supplying motivation by stressing the benefits such as saving time or improving the environment is not enough to change how people travel.

What are the impacts of e-scooters on the environment, the climate, and transportation systems? How can e-scooters be operated in a manner that supports the needs of the municipality and its residents, or at least does not have negative impacts? And what are appropriate mechanisms to regulate e-scooters? To aid in answering these questions, this report provides a synthesis of the first, primarily international, experiences with shared e-scooters, describes the opportunities and challenges they bring with them, and offers recommendations for e-scooter planning and regulation in cities and towns both in Germany and beyond.

The Global EV Outlook is an annual publication that identifies and discusses recent developments in electric mobility across the globe. It is developed with the support of the members of the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI).

The report aims to analyse the present gaps and challenges that prevent the transition to a renewable based energy supply for sustainable low carbon transport in India and propose practical recommendations, including short-term and longterm, necessitating the need of standardisation and laying standards that could aid the development of renewable sources of energy and their deployment in the Indian transport sector.

This report 'Turning the right corner - ensuring development through a low carbon transport sector' emphasizes that developing countries need to transition to a low carbon transport sector now to avoid locking themselves into an unsustainable and costly future.

This report examines the options for measuring and reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transporting chemicals produced in Europe.
