In light of lockdown measures to confine the spread of COVID-19, new vehicle sales have decreased substantially. In response, purchase premiums and vehicle replacement programs are being discussed as recovery measures for the automotive industry in many countries worldwide.

Electric vehicles are beginning to win considerable attention but are still rarely sighted on American roads. McKinsey estimates that there could be ten to eleven million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on US roads by 2030.

This paper analyzes the opportunity for government taxes and fees to address ride-hailing fleets’ environmental externalities by steering companies and their drivers to accelerate adoption of electric vehicles.

While the FAME scheme provides incentives for all market segments, currently only the passenger car and two-wheeler segments appear to be reaping the maximum benefit from these incentives.

This briefing paper provides an overview of Hainan’s near-to-long term targets on clean energy vehicle deployment by sector and summarizes the supportive policies under consideration.

This white paper provides an overview of electric vehicle fast charging installed around the world and the lessons to be learned thus far. The authors review future-looking studies in the context of current deployments to interpret what the future might hold for the number of fast chargers needed going forward.

This briefing summarizes existing practices and develops design principles related to adapting vehicle efficiency and CO2 standards in the 2020–2030 timeframe to enable a long-term transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs).

Zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates on manufacturers can result in increased model options in the market. Insufficient model options can deter consumers from purchasing ZEVs even after adequate emphasis on consumer incentives and charging infrastructure.

Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) represent only 4% of the on-road fleet in the European Union (EU), but are responsible for 30% of on-road CO2 emissions. The EU’s current strategy for controlling CO2 emissions from HDVs focuses on market forces and developing a new certification and reporting framework.

This report quantifies the gap in charging infrastructure to power more than 3 million expected electric vehicles by 2025. Based on the expected growth across the 100 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas, the authors estimate the amount of charging of various types that will be needed to power these vehicles.
