Online Electric Vehicle Charging With Discrete Charging Rates

2021

Author(s): Martijn HH, Uiterkamp S, Marco ET, Hurink GL

This paper presents an online EV scheduling approach based on discrete charging rates that does not require detailed predictions of this uncertain data. Instead, the approach requires only a prediction of a single value that characterizes an optimal offline EV schedule.

Circular Waste Management of Electric Vehicle Batteries: Legal and Technical Perspectives From the EU and the UK Post Brexit

2021

Author(s): Malinauskaite J, Anguilano L, Rivera XS

EVs have the ability to help decarbonize the transportation sector and combat climate change by emitting less greenhouse gases (GHGs) over their lifetime than traditional vehicles. In view of climate change, interdisciplinary strategies are needed to deal with end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in electric vehicles (EVs) to prevent a possible waste crisis.

How To Measure the Impacts of Shared Automated Electric Vehicles on Urban Mobility

2021

Author(s): Nemoto EH, Issaoui R, Korbee D, Jaroudi I, Fournier G

This article proposes a method to measure the impacts of SAEV on mobility through a sustainability assessment. Based on an integrative literature study and on the context of AVENUE, a European project deploying automated shuttles in the public transport of European cities, a set of indicators is defined.

Electric Vehicle Charging Network in Europe: An Accessibility and Deployment Trends Analysis

2021

Author(s): Falchetta G, Noussan M

This paper provides the first comprehensive bottom-up analysis of the EV charging network in Europe. Combining a crowd-sourced database of charging stations with accessibility data and algorithms, the authors produce maps of the travel time to the most accessible EV charging station across Europe, and also evaluate the charging points density and the number of active operators in different areas.

Taking Into Account Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Electric Vehicles for Transportation De-Carbonization

2021

Author(s): Gan Y, Wang M, Lu Z, Kelly J

This study quantifies greenhouse gas emission increases due to these two effects in the three markets. The authors show that plug-in electric vehicles sold in 2012–2025 in the three markets will result in greenhouse gas emission increases of more than 1 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through 2050 relative to the case without the two effects.

Freight Distribution With Electric Vehicles: A Case Study in Sicily

2021

Author(s): Napoli G, Polimeni A, Micari S, Dispenza G, Antonucci V, Andaloro L

This paper explores the integration of electric vehicles in logistics operations executed through light commercial vehicles, taking into consideration, during the design phase of a new concept delivery van, the technical connections with the production systems and its possible applications also in areas other than urban.

Assessing the Sustainability Implications of Alternative Aviation Fuels

2021

Author(s): Pavlenko N, Searle S

This working paper provides background and analysis to help identify how an effective policy for alternative aviation fuels could distinguish among fuels that can deliver deep greenhouse (GHG) reductions and those that cannot.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen Balancing 100 Percent Renewable and Integrated National Transportation and Energy Systems

2021

Author(s): Oldenbroek V, Wijtzes S, Blok K, van Wijka AJM

The question addressed in this paper is how parked and grid-connected hydrogen-fueled Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles might balance 100 per cent renewable electricity, heating, cooling and transport systems at the national level in Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain?
