Interdisciplinary Analysis of Social Acceptance Regarding Electric Vehicles With a Focus on Charging Infrastructure and Driving Range in Germany
2021
Author(s): Burkert A, Fechtner H, Schmuelling B
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues that humanity is now facing. One of the causes of this phenomenon is the presence of high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. The transportation sector, second only to the energy sector in terms of GHG emissions, emits massive volumes of CO2.

Residential Charging Scheduling of Electric Vehicles in Brazilian Context
2021
Author(s): Sausen JP, Da Rosa Abaide A
This paper presents a methodology to schedule the charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) to maintain the loading of distribution transformer under the nameplate load while reducing charging costs.
Success Factors for Electric Carsharing
2021
Author(s): Nicholas M, Bernard MR
The study finds that electric carsharing programs can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from daily travel by up to 43% per user compared to previous travel modes.
The performance of an electric vehicle (EV) is mainly dependent on a battery and its materials composition. Battery selection is based on performance characteristics, such as energy and power density, life cycle, safety, charging/discharging rate, cost, etc.
Environmental Implications of the Ongoing Electrification of the UK Light Duty Vehicle Fleet
2021
Author(s): Raugei M, Kamran M, Hutchinson A
The paper presents a holistic perspective life cycle assessment of these two interrelated transitions' environmental implications while also considering an alternative scenario characterized by a gradual shift from traditional private vehicle ownership to shared mobility schemes.
Optimal Sizing of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Considering Urban Traffic Flow for Smart Cities
2021
Author(s): Campaña M, Inga E, Cárdenas J
The study developed in this article has a high potential for the development of service providers for the creation of charging infrastructures, and the analysis is based on the study of georeferenced traffic in terms of trajectories, looking at the features of the road network to decide the input variables for the linear optimization model.
