This study aims to start a discussion on the topic by exploring three relevant issues: the impact of EVs’ operating costs on urban size, the space requirements of charging facilities, the land demand of energy production through renewables.

This white paper collates survey findings from policy makers, subject matter experts, researchers and professionals from more than 45 countries on likely changes in cities and mobility as a result...

Wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) emerges as a promising technology due to convenience characteristics and the mitigation of range anxiety to enable e-mobility. Recently, the safety issues on WEVC systems have drawn considerable attention. In light of thermal safety, the most critical part of WEVC systems is the surface of ground assembly (GA).

To reduce CO2 emissions, it is necessary to cover the increasing energy demand of e-mobility with renewable energy sources. This paper presented results from a case study for the city of Leoben (Austria), which investigates the synergy effects between e-mobility charged only at work and photovoltaic (PV) potentials.

The deal between Germany's two largest energy suppliers RWE and E.ON to exchange various business units, which was approved in mid-September 2019, will significantly restructure the German energy market and lead to a dominant competitor in both business fields — energy generation and distribution.

In this chapter, the UK and China have been chosen as two countries which have achieved successes in decarbonising their respective economies through the deployment of significant levels of renewable energy resources; however, each has adopted a differing energy transition strategy.

Driven by subsidies, the Volkswagen emission scandal, the discussion on driving bans for diesel cars and the decreasing prices for electric vehicles, it is expected that their numbers in Germany will increase dramatically in the coming years.

The main objective of the environmental protection is the sustainable energy supply of residential areas. This is made possible by networking several buildings in the same district in order to produce a sustainable, efficient and self-sufficient supply of electrical and thermal energy.

Disruptive technologies like electrification, automation, and connectivity can make automotive more sustainable by striving for the Six Zero goals i.e. Zero Emission, Zero Energy, Zero Congestion, Zero Accident, Zero Empty, and Zero Cost.

Based on data publicly available from the official web site of several well-known manufacturers, this paper aims at presenting a statistical analysis of standard specification and finding the critical parameter that will influence the customer to switch to EV.
