Li-ion batteries (LIBs) can reduce carbon emissions by powering electric vehicles (EVs) and promoting renewable energy development with grid-scale energy storage. However, LIB production and electricity generation still heavily rely on fossil fuels, resulting in major environmental concerns.

This paper introduces carculator, a Python library to conduct environmental life cycle assessments of current and future passenger vehicles. Because carculator is open-source and equipped with an easy-to-use online graphical user interface, it produces context-specific results, deemed more relevant than results otherwise published in more static formats.

The report takes stock of India’s current EVs ecosystem and where the sector may be heading in the future, with a focus on drivers of and barriers to investment. The research for this study involved in-depth consultations with experts, policymakers, investors, and companies, as well as results from an online survey with EV experts and companies. The report presents the main takeaways of this research.

This report examines how the Indian charging infrastructure ecosystem could benefit from lessons learned from a more advanced EV market such as Germany. It highlights the importance of a data-driven approach to facilitate investment decisions and to ramp up the nascent EV charging industry in India.

Trucks and buses in the EU represent just 2.5% of the total stock of vehicles on the road, yet they’re responsible for 21% of total annual oil consumption. The study proposes a variety of measures that can be implemented in 2022 to reduce oil consumption from trucks and buses both immediately and by 2027.

The study provides support for implementing the roadmap. It looks specifically at policies for making light-duty vehicles more efficient and less emitting but also provides insights for other motorised road vehicles.
