This evaluation of international electric mobility public policies is focused on light-duty passenger vehicles including public and private fleets, buses, and urban delivery vehicles from the major markets in North America, Europe, Brazil and Asia, and the analysis highlights emerging developments in India when relevant.

In view of the importance of ICT as the key to the success of electric mobility, the BMWi initiated the series of “ICT for Electromobility” funding programmes in 2009. With the 3rd technology programme, the BMWi is focussing on electric mobility for commercial use.

Improving efficiency of the logistics sector is of high importance for the country’s economy as it boosts economic growth, grows exports through global supply chains and generates employment.

Electric vehicles (EVs) for road transport boost energy efficiency, require no direct fuel combustion and rely on electricity – the most diversified energy carrier, thereby contributing to a wide range of transport policy goals.

This report provides an overview of vehicle taxation policy across Europe. The aim is to inform how governments might induce consumers to opt for low-emission vehicles and reduce CO2 emissions of national vehicle fleets.

With the rapid pace of technological developments and urbanization, India should be developing and enhancing its transportation system with an eye to the future: as the nature of cities and transport changes, mobility plans need to be designed to be flexible and adaptable to keep up with an evolving landscape.

Large-scale penetration of EV comes with a plethora of sectoral planning challenges and will require coordinated planning between the transport, urban planning and power sectors. This report examines the charging energy requirement in order to transition to an all electric transportation sector (4-wheelers and buses), by 2030.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have advanced significantly this decade, owing in part to decreasing battery costs. Yet EVs remain more costly than gasoline fueled vehicles over their useful life. This study analyzes the additional advances that will be needed, if electric vehicles are to significantly penetrate the passenger vehicle fleet.

This report marks the beginning of a new flagship project for the Climate Council aimed at cutting greenhouse gas pollution levels from the transport sector - Australia’s second largest source of greenhouse gas pollution. Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions are rising and are projected to continue increasing in the absence of credible and comprehensive climate and energy policy tackling all key sectors: electricity, transport, stationary energy, agriculture, fugitive emissions, industrial processes, waste and land use.

This report highlights the most significant developments in the dynamic domain of India’s energy subsidy policies in FY 2017 and explores the role that subsidies play with respect to four themes: energy access; the role of coal; prospects for renewables; and a transport sector transition.
