An Approach to Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Analysis of a Plug-In Electric Vehicle
2021
Author(s): Talukdar BK, Deka BC
This paper presents an approach to carry out a quantitative RAM analysis of a plug-in electric vehicle. A mathematical model is developed in the Markov Framework incorporating the reliability characteristics of all significant electrical components of the vehicle system, namely battery, motor, drive, controllers, charging unit, and energy management unit.
Fuel Consumption Reduction Technologies for the Two-Wheeler Fleet in India
2021
Author(s): Anup S, Deo A, Bandivadekar B
To identify realistic fuel consumption targets for small motorcycles, large motorcycles, and scooters, and for the two-wheeler fleet overall, this paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness and the payback period of different internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle technologies.
A Comprehensive Review on Developments in Electric Vehicle Charging Station Infrastructure and Present Scenario of India
2021
Author(s): Mishra S, Verma S, Chowdhury S, Gaur A, Mohapatra S, Dwivedi G, Verma P
Electric vehicles help to improve traffic and maintain a healthy living environment by emitting zero or ultra-low tailpipe emissions and producing far less noise. As a result, the global car industry is making the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
The Potential of Vehicle-to-Grid To Support the Energy Transition: A Case Study on Switzerland
2021
Author(s): Di Natale L, Funk L, Rüdisüli M, Svetozarevic B, Pareschi G, Heer P, Sansavini G
In this study, the authors analyze the concurrent electrification of the mobility sector and investigate the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on energy systems with a large share of renewable energy sources.
City Charging Infrastructure Needs To Reach Electric Vehicle Goals: The Case of Seattle
2021
Author(s): Hsu C-W, Slowik P, Lutsey N
This report evaluates the charging infrastructure needs for Seattle to reach its goal of having 30% of its vehicle stock be electric. It quantifies the number, type, and distribution of home, workplace, and public charging across Seattle and assesses several sociodemographic factors to inform more equitable deployment in the near term.
Spain’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Challenge: How Many Chargers Will Be Required in 2030?
2021
Author(s): Nicholas M, Wappelhorst S
This working paper assesses the electric vehicle charging infrastructure necessary in Spain by 2030 versus what was installed at the end of 2019. Two vehicle uptake scenarios—50% and 70% of light duty passenger vehicle registrations by 2030—are explored.
Fuel Consumption From Light Commercial Vehicles in India, Fiscal Year 2018–19
2021
Author(s): Deo A
This paper examines the fuel consumption of new light commercial vehicles (LCVs) sold in India in fiscal year (FY) 2018–19. These vehicles are the N1 segment in India, and passenger vehicles are the M1 category.
Efficient Planning and Implementation of Public Chargers: Lessons Learned From European Cities
2021
Author(s): Bernard MR, Hall D
This working paper gathers insights from selected European cities on how to streamline the charging infrastructure planning and implementation process.
Los Angeles Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Needs and Implications for Zero-Emission Area Planning
2021
Author(s): Bui A, Slowik P, Lutsey N
This report quantifies Los Angeles electric vehicle charging infrastructure needs and associated energy demand citywide in 2030 to align with the city’s goal of 25% zero-emission vehicle stock by 2025 and 80% by 2035.
When Might Lower-Income Drivers Benefit From Electric Vehicles? Quantifying the Economic Equity Implications of Electric Vehicle Adoption
2021
Author(s): Bauer G, Hsu C-W, Lutsey N
This analysis finds that cost reductions in new electric vehicles (EVs) will lead to decreased used EV prices and cost parity with used gasoline vehicles for low-income households in the 2025-2030 time period.
