Fostering Share&Charge Through Proper Regulation
2018
Author(s): Vanrykel F, Ernst D, Bourgeois M
This article studies the emergence of Share&Charge, a German platform that organizes the sharing of charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) and the billing for the energy transactions. Share&Charge follows a peer-to-peer fashion, enabling direct transactions between charging station owners and EV drivers
Harmonized Standards for Electric Vehicle-Grid-User System
2018
Author(s): Amditis A, Theodoropoulos T, Brusaglino G, Oceano A, Rodella G, Rizzo R, Di Noia LP
As a primary factor in human activity, the transport system plays a role in the context of the use of electricity on environmental impact and on social health. In compliance with the EU mandate, electric mobility will contribute to the transport system with user-friendly means and solutions, thus reducing negative effects in these areas.
Impact of Fast-Charging and Regenerative Braking in LiFePO4 Batteries for Electric Bus Applications
2018
Author(s): Carrilero I, Ansean D, Viera JC, Fernandez Y, Pereirinha PG, Gonzalez M
The role of electric buses (EBs) is crucial in public transit of reducing urban pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and, thus, global warming. To design a cost effective, energy efficient, sustainable EBs fleet, the EB batteries and the charging infrastructure must be correctly selected.
Intelligent Transportation Systems Enabled ICT Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging in Smart City
2018
Author(s): Cao Y, Ahmad N, Kaiwartya O, Puturs G, Khalid M
Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be widely adopted in modern cities as personal, commercial, and public fleets in the future. The popularity of EVs would have a significant impact on urban cities' sustainable and economic growth.
Monte Carlo Procedure to Evaluate the E-mobility Impact on the Electric Distribution Grid
2018
Author(s): Mirbagheri SM, Bovera F, Falabretti D, Moncecchi M, Delfanti M, Fiori M, Merlo M
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the impact of the e-mobility charging processes on the electric grid, in a real-life study case. The study was developed according to three different recharging modes, the first based on domestic charging process, the second relevant to public fast charging station, the latter based on enhanced, very fast, public charging stations.
Processing Electric Vehicle Charging Transactions in a Blockchain-Based Information System
2018
Author(s): Kirpes B, Becker C
Electromobility, electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure are major building blocks for a sustainable energy future. With the emergence of sustainable IS topics, energy informatics as the comprising research discipline receives increasing attention.

2018
Author(s): Shalender K, Yadav RK
The aim of the study is to identify the critical challenges hindering e-mobility adoption in India. It also aims to provide a roadmap for resolving these difficulties while taking into account the interests of all relevant stakeholders.
The Impact of Electric Mobility Scenarios in Large Urban Areas: The Rome Case Study
2018
Author(s): Liberto C, Valenti G, Orchi S, Lelli M, Nigro M, Ferrara M
This paper assesses the improvements in energy demand and the related emissions of climate change and air pollution from the electrification of the private fleet of vehicles and the public transport fleet in the city of Rome, Italy. This paper provides a well-To-wheel analysis and considers two alternative hypotheses for the vehicles fleet renewal up to 2025.
The Impact of E-Mobility in a Future Energy System Dominated by Renewable Electricity
2018
Author(s): Bünger U, Michalski J
Battery and fuel cell electric cars have been described as a solution to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 95 percent by 2050, but they would also impact the increasingly renewable electricity-based energy system.
Cost-Effectiveness of Engine Technologies for a Potential Heavy-Duty Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Regulation in India
2015
Author(s): International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT)
As policymakers and stakeholders in India begin the regulatory development process for fuel efficiency standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), one of the key areas of debate has been whether or not separate performance standards for engines are an appropriate first step.
