The United Kingdom (UK) has seen rapid growth in the electrification of its passenger car market, and the trend is expected to continue. Plug-in electric models represented 3% of new passenger car registrations in 2019, and that share has approximately tripled in the first half of 2020.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which combine an electric and a conventional combustion engine drive train, offer the potential to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and local air pollution if they drive mainly on electricity. This report provides an analysis of real-world usage and fuel consumption of approximately 100,000 PHEVs in China, Europe, and North America.

This briefing summarizes a number of regulatory pathways that have been used globally to deploy zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates or comparable policies, as these are central to efforts driving the early uptake of electric vehicles in key regions.

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.

This working paper assesses the timing of cost-effectively electrifying shared mobility fleets in U.S. cities, with a focus on ride-hailing. The authors develop a total cost of operation metric for conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles in eight U.S. cities.

Abstract defn

The registration tax on new passenger cars in Turkey has a strong impact on consumer purchase behavior and vehicle market structure by effectively limiting 96% of the fleet to engines of less than 1.6l displacement.

The Indian automobile industry has come a long way since its inception. This paper has made an attempt to identify the role of lead firms in mapping the activities related to upgrading. Upgrading refers to the process through which firms may move up the value chain.

This briefing summarizes data on the development of the electric vehicle market in California through 2016. It quantifies electric vehicle market growth across California cities and metropolitan areas and provides broader context.

This briefing provides an update on market and policy developments through the end of 2019 related to the global transition to electric vehicles. It provides a summary of vehicle electrification goals set by major markets globally, actions adopted to achieve those goals, and progress toward those goals.
