2019
Author(s): Mohamed HAA
The main objective of this paper is to uncover, understand, and analyze the rising interdependencies between the future power grid featuring increased dependence on ICT, the ICT network, and the future transportation network featuring more electrified mobility.
Emerging Policy Approaches to Electrify Ride-Hailing in the United States
2019
Author(s): Slowik P, Pavlenko N, Lutsey N
This briefing identifies emerging policy approaches to support the deployment of electric vehicles within ride-hailing fleets, with a focus on the United States.
Enhanced 'BDABDC-DC' System for Vehicle to Grid Technology
2019
Author(s): Janaki N, Krishna Kumar R
There is a wide range of functionalities, if EVs (electric vehicles) are connected to electric grid. EV is capable of both battery recharging and providing back energy to the grid.

User Decision-Making in Transitions to Electrified, Autonomous, Shared or Reduced Mobility
2019
Author(s): Whittle C, Whitmarsh L, Haggar P, Morgan P, Parkhurst G
In this paper, the authors integrate insights from the multi-level perspective on transitions and socio-psychological literature and draw on transport expert interview (N = 11) data, to examine (a) what influences current attitudes and behaviours in respect of EVs and AVs, and shared mobility, and (b) how this may change in the years to come.
When Does Electrifying Shared Mobility Make Economic Sense?
2019
Author(s): Pavlenko N, Slowik P, Lutsey N
This working paper assesses the timing of cost-effectively electrifying shared mobility fleets in U.S. cities, with a focus on ride-hailing. The authors develop a total cost of operation metric for conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles in eight U.S. cities.
Government Incentives for EV Adoption: Classification of Existing Incentives and Assessment of Their Effectiveness
2019
Author(s): Fluchs S
In this paper, an overview of the existing literature on government incentives for the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is provided. Applied incentives and measures in the most important global automotive markets are determined, clustered and analyzed regarding their effectiveness.
Electric Vehicles: Literature Review of Technology Costs and Carbon Emissions
2019
Author(s): Wolfram P, Lutsey N
The paper analyzes the role of electric vehicles within a lower carbon 2020–2030 new vehicle fleet in Europe. Based on the literature data on cost and emissions collected, analyzed, and aggregated, the cost of batteries, fuel cells, and charging infrastructure has been estimated.
Funding the Transition to All Zero-Emission Vehicles
2019
Author(s): Slowik P, Hall D, Lutsey N, Nicholas M, Wappelhorst S
Governments around the world, motivated by the necessities of clean air and a stable climate, actively steer their markets toward all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Among the key questions for governments are what types of support for incentives, infrastructure, and other programs are needed; for how long this need continues; and how the costs compare to the benefits.
