Enabling policy framework is necessary for rollout of electric vehicles (EV) and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. A number of Indian states have issued electric vehicle policies and electricity tariffs for EV charging.

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.

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.

This paper builds on previous ICCT studies about electrifying ride-hailing fleets in U.S. and EU markets by expanding the view to conditions in the Indian market.

This interview was conducted by The World Resources Institute (WRI) with Mr. KR Jyothilal, Principal Secretary, Transport, Government of Kerala, to discuss the short and long term Electric mobility scenario in the state of kerala.

This report explores the current global energy consumption from mobile air conditioning systems, along with the resulting greenhouse gas emissions from the energy consumption and the leaking refrigerants. With no further policy action, energy use from mobile air conditioning may almost triple to over 5.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2050. At the same time, annual combined emissions from energy consumption and refrigerant leakage could more than triple to 1 300 million tons of CO2 equivalent.

This report reflects on the history that has shaped transport and mobility in the UK, examines the current trends in the system, and considers different scenarios that will help policy-makers to identify the choices and trade-offs to come – and to grasp the exciting opportunities that exist.

The policy by far presents itself as the most comprehensive sub-national policy that adopts a system-wide approach to promote the adoption of EVs. Anchored to the objectives of reducing air pollution in the city, the policy targets three critical areas to trigger market adoption of EVs: Demand generation; demand assurance, and infrastructure creation.

Nurturing the EV ecosystem at a time when the market has seen contraction can be a daunting task. Moreover, resources are limited, and they need to be leveraged carefully and with precision. At this stage, while the supply side is slowly evolving despite major concerns around incremental investments, the demand side will need to be boosted quickly.

The EV (Electric vehicle) revolution has just begun in India. The adoption of EVs in India is poised to grow in the coming years, although battery charging infrastructure remains a valid concern among potential consumers.
