2021
Author(s): Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India
India’s biggest asset as a global energy transition advocate and change agent is its own example. India is the only G20 nation whose actions are consonant with a sub 2°C rise in global temperatures. Its achievements in energy transition is way beyond its NDCs.
The Effects of Dynamic Traffic Conditions, Route Characteristics and Environmental Conditions on Trip-Based Electricity Consumption Prediction of Electric Bus
2021
Author(s): Li P, Zhang Y, Zhang K, Jiang M
As prediction of trip-based electricity consumption has become a prerequisite for the deployment of large-scale EB fleets, this study has established random forest-based models to systematically investigate the impacts of environmental conditions, route characteristics, and dynamic traffic conditions.

Willingness to Pay and Attitudinal Preferences of Indian Consumers for Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Bansal P, Kumar RR, Raj A, Dubey S, Graham DJ
This study contributes to the EV demand literature in the Indian context by (a) analysing the EV attributes and attitudinal factors of Indian car buyers that determine consumers' preferences for EVs, (b) estimating Indian consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) to buy EVs with improved attributes, and c) quantifying how the reference dependence affects the WTP estimates.
The future of transport is the overarching theme of this “infographic novel,” which focuses on a family spanning three generations – including a very special dog, Rudi.
A Unified Configurational Optimization Framework for Battery Swapping and Charging Stations Considering Electric Vehicle Uncertainty
2021
Author(s): Zhang M, Li W, Yu SS, Wen K, Zhou C, Shi P
In this paper, the authors establish a double-stage coordinative decision-making (DCD) framework for the BSCS configuration, using the distributed robust optimization (DRO) approach for multi-timescale battery inventories.
