This working paper assesses battery electric vehicle costs in the 2020–2030 time frame, using the best battery pack and electric vehicle component cost data available through 2018. The assessment analyzes the timing for price parity for representative electric cars, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles compared to their conventional gasoline counterparts in the U.S. light-duty vehicle market.

This briefing assesses the U.S. electric vehicle market in 2019 and the policy actions by cities, states, and electric power utilities that were driving it.

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.

This briefing paper analyzes 2018 electric vehicle uptake in the United States and the policy factors that are driving it. The paper catalogues forty-three unique city, state, and utility electric vehicle promotion actions and their implementation across the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas in 2018.

Almost half a dozen countries in Europe have set combustion-engine passenger car phase-out targets and dates in national strategies, plans, and programs, or have drafted or adopted such laws to mitigate climate change.

A route-level total cost-of-ownership (TCO) modeling framework can determine the total cost of the vehicles and infrastructure required to transition a single route entirely to zero-emission technology. This paper presents the methods for development of representative drive cycles of urban bus fleet operations, the first step in a multi-step route-level TCO modeling framework.

Spain is one of the strongest hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) markets in Europe in terms of total sales volumes and relative European market shares. This paper reviews how programs, regulations, and incentives at the national, regional, and local level have shaped the HEV market in the country.

To help cities accelerate emissions reduction and address pressing climate risks, the Shared, Electric and Automated Mobility (SEAM) Governance Framework outlines a four-step process that can be adjusted to local contexts. This White Paper aims to illuminate best practices in the development of SEAM governance.

In India’s transition towards clean and sustainable transportation, increased use of electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial element.

The purpose of an inspection and maintenance (I/M) program is to identify high-emitting vehicles and mitigate their impact on air quality and climate. I/M programs require vehicle owners to regularly subject their vehicles to a certified emissions test.
