The emergence of electric mobility has pushed the interest in batteries to the forefront. Batteries are considered as the powerhouse of an electric vehicle (EV).

There is still no penalty imposed on manufacturers in India if CO2 emissions limits are exceeded. Based on the analysis presented in this report, the study suggests it would be effective to establish a penalty of ₹2,500/gCO2/km for passenger cars. This will allow the reality that some manufacturers that do not enjoy large economies of scale might have somewhat higher DMC costs, and a penalty of ₹2,500/gCO2/km would mean that using 48V hybrid technologies in vehicles will be cheaper than paying the fine.

In several non-Annex 1 nations, including India, battery-electric vehicles (BEV) have become the preferred technology solution to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The option of decarbonizing urban freight transport using battery electric vehicles (BEVs) seems promising. However, there is currently a strong debate whether fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) might be the better solution.

Predicting the charging load of electric vehicles (EVs) is critical for the safe and reliable operation of the distribution network. Analyzing an EV's random charging characteristics and the uncertainty associated with its development scale is vital to predict its charging load accurately.

This research presents an Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm (IWOA) to solve the problem of poor accuracy and stability in optimizing the locating and sizing of nonconvex and nonlinear electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (CSs).

The synergy of clean energy and electric vehicles (EVs) is highly relevant in achieving low-carbon development. To promote the coordinated development of EVs and photovoltaics (PV) under the background of open power selling, a PV–EV bidding model that considers carbon emissions based on the distributed storage and smart contract technology of a blockchain is proposed in this study.

Besides the consumer subsidy scheme, governments have recently implemented a hybrid scheme with an additional dual-credit scheme on the supply side. It is essential to understand the impact of this new practice on a vehicle manufacturer (VM) that provides gasoline vehicles (GVs) and/or electric vehicles (EVs) and the consumer and social welfare.

With the rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in the past decade, many new traffic safety challenges are also emerging. With the crash data of Norway from 2011 to 2018, this study gives an overview of the status quo of EV crashes.

The share of renewables in total electricity generation is now over 10%, more than 70% of the country’s electricity was still generated by fossil fuels in 2021.At COP26, India announced the highly ambitious goal of decarbonizing energy to 50% and achieving 500 GW of fossil fuel free generating capacity by 2030. This was a very large increase above its Paris commitments, far more than expected. This study discusses the challenges and feasibility in achieving the ambitious 2030 targets.
