Unraveling User Type Characteristics: Towards a Taxonomy for Charging Infrastructure
2015
Author(s): Helmus J, Van den Hoed R
Many European cities with air quality concerns struggle how to further roll out charging infrastructure in the coming years in a cost effective manner. Charging behavior of EV users has been subject of several studies that describe user power demand, start time patterns, duration and frequency of fleet users and home users.
User Decision-Making in Transitions to Electrified, Autonomous, Shared or Reduced Mobility
2019
Author(s): Whittle C, Whitmarsh L, Haggar P, Morgan P, Parkhurst G
In this paper, the authors integrate insights from the multi-level perspective on transitions and socio-psychological literature and draw on transport expert interview (N = 11) data, to examine (a) what influences current attitudes and behaviours in respect of EVs and AVs, and shared mobility, and (b) how this may change in the years to come.
Environmental Effects of Electromobility in a Sustainable Urban Public Transport
2020
Author(s): Pietrzak K, Pietrzak O
The main purpose of the article was to identify and analyze environmental effects resulting from the implementation of zero-emission buses in urban public transport on the example of the city of Szczecin, Poland.

Beyond Road Vehicles: Survey of Zero-Emission Technology Options Across the Transport Sector
2018
Author(s): Hall D, Pavlenko N, Lutsey N
This working paper investigates recent research and ongoing projects to assess the potential of zero-emission technologies in aviation, maritime, off-road, and rail transport. The authors cover three broad technology types i.e. battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell.
Comparison of Leading Electric Vehicle Policy and Deployment in Europe
2016
Author(s): Tietge U, Mock P, Lutsey N, Campestrini A
This study investigates incentives for EVs, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), in the five largest EV markets in Europe.
Electric Vehicles: Literature Review of Technology Costs and Carbon Emissions
2019
Author(s): Wolfram P, Lutsey N
The paper analyzes the role of electric vehicles within a lower carbon 2020–2030 new vehicle fleet in Europe. Based on the literature data on cost and emissions collected, analyzed, and aggregated, the cost of batteries, fuel cells, and charging infrastructure has been estimated.
Funding the Transition to All Zero-Emission Vehicles
2019
Author(s): Slowik P, Hall D, Lutsey N, Nicholas M, Wappelhorst S
Governments around the world, motivated by the necessities of clean air and a stable climate, actively steer their markets toward all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Among the key questions for governments are what types of support for incentives, infrastructure, and other programs are needed; for how long this need continues; and how the costs compare to the benefits.
