Design and Validation of a Tool for Prognosis of the Energy Consumption and Performance in Electric Vehicles

2018

Author(s): del Valle JA, Viera JC, Anseán D, Brañas C, Luque P, Mántaras DA, Pulido YF

This work develops a software tool to calculate and predict the energy consumption of an electric vehicle (EV) for any desired route. The software tool is based on a mathematical model of an electric vehicle, which relates the energy consumption of the vehicle with factors such as the speed and the terrain slope

Using panel data from fourteen countries between 2010 and 2015, this paper examines impact of seven factors in a multiple linear regression model. The factors include percentage of renewable energies in electricity generation, number of charging stations, education level, population density, gasoline price, GDP per capita and urbanization.

Dynamic Traffic Information for Electric Vehicles as a Basis for Energy-Efficient Routing

2019

Author(s): Kessler L, Bogenberger K

This paper aims to provide a literature survey of current energy consumption models and energy-efficient routing algorithms, and adapts current dynamic traffic information towards electric driving. A real-world field study from Germany has been evaluated and serves as a basis for energy consumption analyses.

Deployment of Electric Vehicles in China To Meet the Carbon Neutral Target by 2060

2021

Author(s): Zhang R, Hanaoka T

In this study, a transport energy model containing an elaborate transport demand model and a technology bottom-up model for detailed behavioral and technological representations was developed to investigate how electric vehicles (EVs) will penetrate the markets in the long-term and what impacts on energy consumption and emissions would emerge following EV adoption in China at the provincial level.

Converting a Conventional Car into a Hybrid Solar Vehicle: A LCA Approach

2018

Author(s): Tiano FA, Rizzo G, Feo GD, Landolfi S

This paper presents the application of LCA for the evaluation of total energy consumption and GHGs emissions when a driver is in front to several mobility options. A life-cycle assessment study of several mobility options is presented in the paper.

Characteristics and Experiences of Ride-Hailing Drivers with Electric Vehicles

2021

Author(s): Sanguinetti A, Kurani K

This paper describes these drivers and their experiences to further understanding of motivations for and barriers to PEV adoption among TNC drivers. The TNC-PEV drivers in this sample clearly recognized, and were largely motivated by, economic benefits of fuel and maintenance savings, thus, increased net earnings, associated with using a PEV to provide ride-hailing services rather than a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle.

Electric Truck Economic Feasibility Analysis

2021

Author(s): Vijayagopal R, Rousseau A

This paper examines the sensitivity of total ownership cost (TCO) for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks with respect to battery and fuel costs. The results will help identify cost targets for battery packs for various types of trucks and will also highlight use cases where we are likely to see early adoption of these technologies.

Pathways to Decarbonization: The European Passenger Car Market, 2021–2035

2021

Author(s): Mock P, Díaz S

As part of the roadmap to achieve its climate-neutrality goal, the European Commission will come forward with a proposal for revised CO2 targets for new passenger cars and vans by the middle of 2021. This paper assesses the CO2 reduction potential and associated estimated costs for currently adopted policies and policy scenarios.
