Why Are Charging Stations Associated With Electric Vehicle Adoption? Untangling Effects in Three United States Metropolitan Areas
2022
Author(s): White LV, Carrel AL, Shi W, Sintov ND
Many policies to support battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption involve the roll-out of public charging stations. While the greater density of public charging stations is correlated with higher BEV adoption, the mechanisms underlying this effect are not well understood.
The Use of E-Moped Increases Commute Satisfaction and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence From Shanghai, China
2022
Author(s): Sun S, Yao Y, Xu L, He X, Duan Z
The authors conducted an empirical study on the impact of commuting by e-mopeds, using survey data from eight residential communities in Shanghai. A path analysis model was established to investigate the relationships between commute characteristics (including commute distance, commute time, commute costs, transport mode choice, transport environment), socio-demographics, commute satisfaction, and subjective well-being.
Comparing the future demand for, supply of, and life-cycle emissions from bio, synthetic, and fossil LNG marine fuels in the European Union
2022
Author(s): Comer B, Malley O J, Osipova L, Pavlenko N
This report, which focuses on ships trading with the European Union, predicts a tripling of demand for LNG as marine fuel between 2019 and 2030, based on trends in fuel consumption. It also estimates that renewable LNG will cost seven times more than fossil LNG in 2030 and, therefore, subsidies or other policies would be needed to encourage its use.
Remote sensing of heavy-duty vehicle emissions in Europe
2022
Author(s): Bakhshmand SK, Mulholland E, Tietge U, Rodríguez F
This study presents a multi-regional remote sensing analysis of 33,600 European trucks and buses to quantify the real-world level of pollutant emissions across different vehicle emission standards. It draws on data recorded from six remote sensing campaigns in Europe conducted between 2017 and 2020, covering a range of ambient temperatures and vehicle driving conditions.
Electric buses in Maharashtra: lessons from interviews and recommendations for future rollout in India
2022
Author(s): Dhole A, Gode P
The study result shows that electric buses are reliable. Transit authorities are already experiencing the numerous benefits that electric buses offer, including zero tailpipe emissions, fewer maintenance requirements, and better driver and passenger experience.

2022
Author(s): Bloch D, Priem T, Martinet S and Ngô C
The purpose of this book is to provide the reader an overview of lithium battery technologies, current initiatives around the world, and some perspectives for the future.
Integrated Computational Life Cycle Engineering for Traction Batteries
2022
Author(s): Cerdas F
The environmental burden caused by private transportation represents a significant challenge towards sustainability. Electric vehicles are considered a key technology to reduce the environmental impact caused by the mobility sector.
A Systematic Review on Sustainability Assessment of Electric Vehicles: Knowledge Gaps and Future Perspectives
2022
Author(s): Onat NC, Kucukvar M.
Electric mobility is emerging worldwide to minimize environmental impacts, reduce dependency on petroleum, and diversify energy sources for transportation. Any emerging technology comes with uncertainties regarding its environmental, economic, and social impacts on global society.
Life Cycle Assessment of Methanol Vehicles From Energy, Environmental and Economic Perspectives
2022
Author(s): Luo L, Wang H, Li C, Hu Y.
This paper uses the Energy, Environment, and Economy (3E) evaluation method to analyze the energy consumption, environmental emission, and economy of methanol, electric, gas, and gasoline vehicles from the whole life cycle perspective.
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Li-Sulphur and Li-Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Benveniste G, Sánchez A, Rallo H, Corchero C, Amante B.
This study performs a life cycle assessment (LCA) of Li-S battery cells (under industrial development at the moment) that have been scaled up accordingly to estimate their performance as a battery for EVs.
