Operation of Battery Storage as a Temporary Equipment During Grid Reinforcement Caused by Electric Vehicles
2020
Author(s): Held L, Baumann S, Suriyah MR, Leibfried T, Ratajczak L, Lossau S, Konermann M
Electric vehicle charging stresses distribution grids significantly with high penetrations of electric vehicles. This will lead to grid reinforcement works in several distribution grids. Battery storage is a possible solution to bypass times of grid reinforcement due to electric vehicle charging.
Fleet Electrification in India: What are Some of the Top Trends Impacting it?
2020
Author(s): Ravuri S
Electrification is a key solution to growing levels of vehicle pollution in metropolises and is of particular importance to India today.
The Importance of Selling Electric Vehicles and Their Batteries Separately
2020
Author(s): Paladugula AL, Deshpande T
The roads have been cleared for a surge in two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs). On August 12, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) published a notification allowing the sale and registration of EVs without batteries.
McKinsey Electric Vehicle Index: Europe Cushions a Global Plunge in EV Sales
2020
Author(s): Gersdorf T, Hertzke P, Schaufuss P, Schenk S
McKinsey’s proprietary Electric Vehicle Index (EVI) assesses the dynamics of the e-mobility market in 15 key countries worldwide. EVI results for 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 provide important insights about market growth, regional demand patterns, market share for major electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and supply-chain trends.

2020
Author(s): Lim S-K, Lee H-S, Cha H-R, Park S-J
The distribution of the small electric vehicles called personal mobility devices (PMDs), which can address problems such as traffic issues and environmental pollution, is expected to gain momentum.
Improving Battery-Electric-Vehicle Profitability Through Reduced Structural Costs
2020
Author(s): Breiter A, Hackert P, Han W, Hensley R, Schwedhelm D
Battery electric vehicles (BEV) profitability will continue to face headwinds from high e-drive and battery costs, as well as the need for high investments at a time when sales volumes remain challenged.
Private Autonomous Vehicles: The Other Side of the Robo-Taxi Story
2020
Author(s): Doll G, Ebel E, Heineke K, Kellner M, Wiemuth C
Autonomous driving (AD) has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. AD represents a huge opportunity to transform mobility. Road safety would increase, and drivers would have more time to relax in vehicles rather than focus on the road.

2020
Author(s): Morgan J.
The uptake of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), subject to bottlenecks, seems to have reached a tipping point in the UK and this mirrors a general trend globally.
How Technology, Recycling, and Policy Can Mitigate Supply Risks to the Long-Term Transition to Zero-Emission Vehicles
2020
Author(s): Slowik P, Lutsey N, Hsu C-W
This white paper analyzes fundamental ZEV supply questions regarding zero-emission vehicles. It assesses how planned electric vehicle manufacturing compares to government near-term regulations and long-term targets, and how future battery production capacity compares to global demand.
