Electric vehicles (EVs) for road transport boost energy efficiency, require no direct fuel combustion and rely on electricity – the most diversified energy carrier, thereby contributing to a wide range of transport policy goals.

This report conveys information collected from EVI members and partners to analyse the global evolution of the EV market, the growth of the EV stock and the deployment of EVSE. It includes a review of policy actions on EVs and EVSE and analyses market developments in relation to changes in the policy framework.

In this paper the authors derive basic requirements for building interoperable reservation systems and identify four generic approaches to reservation.

This report aims to provide an update on recent developments in EV registrations (vehicle sales), EV stock estimates (mainly based on cumulative sales), and the availability and characteristics of EVSE.

As part of the collaborative project “Cities in Charge”, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM) is investigating the possible contribution of battery storage systems for grid assisting charging of electric vehicles.

To secure a significant improvement in overall productivity and efficiency of the system, future development of the network should aim to secure a better integration of the various modes of transport.

Focusing on the German market and using the test case of a renowned logistics service provider who trialed e-vehicles for commercial transport, this paper discusses potential shifts in grocery shopping habits, maps out perspectives, prerequisites and challenges for a shift to electric vehicles for their distribution and derives recommendations for industry and politics based on the findings.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the development of the electromobility (e-mobility) market, which directly results in the increased requirement of charging stations supplied from the public distribution network. Electric vehicles will be an integral part of the smart grid in the future.

This article describes urban transportation system based on information obtained from operation contracts of the transport cooperatives in Ambato’s city in Ecuador. In Ecuador, the City of Ambato has a public transport system which dependents exclusively on oil derivatives.

The required annual efficiency improvements for passenger vehicles in Canada are scheduled to weaken from 5% to 1.5% for model years 2021 to 2026.
