Zero emission freight trucks are needed to both improve public health and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions but at the same time are generally believed to be uneconomical. However, recent dramatic declines in battery prices and improvement in their energy density have created opportunities for battery-electric trucking today that were seldom anticipated just a few years ago.

Ultra-fast charging (UFC) stations are starting to pose serious challenges to the electric power system operation, mostly due to their high peak power demand and unregulated discontinuous operation.

The insights from this book are meant to address the recent technology advancements, the low carbon footprint mobility segment, emerging EV Battery technologies, operating principles of Electric Motors, the changes in electric drive train systems, the regenerative braking system, Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment with various types of EV chargers and the establishment of an appropriate charging infrastructure

The electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping is a strategy to increase the acceptance rate of EVs and to deal with the concerns regarding lengthy charging times and range anxiety related to the EVs. This paper considers battery swapping and energy resilience in the building integrated with electric vehicle (EV), reserve battery, and solar energy.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are being aggressively pursued by many countries across the world as one of the solutions to address climate change. Owing to their zero tailpipe emissions, they are expected to counter the harmful effects of emissions from fossil-fuel-based vehicles

This study analyzes policies that California, the United States, and Canada have enacted to promote reduced GHG emissions from heavy-duty trucks, how these policies have impacted technology deployment, and lessons that Canada can take as it evaluates policy options to accelerate the deployment of fuel- and GHG-reduction technologies in its trucking fleet.

This report reviews the status of eco-driving programs for the on-road freight industry in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru—locations where there are tangible opportunities for the implementation or expansion of eco-driving programs.

The study indicates the utilization of a solar system in North Africa, expressed as equivalent full load hours, with an order of magnitude of over 2300 hours per year, while in Germany this is less than 1000 hours.

In January 2021, new passenger car registrations were 29% lower than compared to one year earlier. The decrease was strongest for Hyundai (-37%) and lowest for BMW (-18%).
