Elektrische PKW-Antriebe bieten im Vergleich zu konventionellen Verbrennungsmotoren viele Vorteile, insbesondere geringere lokale Emissionen, eine höhere Energieeffizienz und eine geringere Mineralölabhängigkeit. Andererseits stellen Batterietechnik, Anschaffungskosten und Ladeinfrastruktur...

The activation of flexible loads through demand side management offers opportunities for more efficient power systems operations. Price-based incentive are a straight-forward form for decentral coordination of these flexible loads. However, their applicability has recently been seen more...

Replacing conventional vehicles by electric vehicles (EVs) and increasing the use of carsharing are two strategies to reduce the environmental impact of car driving. However such a societal transition towards the use of more sustainable modes of transport will strongly depend on citizens'...

Decarbonizing the transport sector is a key measure to reduce carbon emissions at the global level. This result relies, among other factors, on the substitution of gasoline vehicles with electric vehicles. Countries such as Norway and Germany have adopted policies favoring the diffusion of...

Legislative requirements are motivating vehicle manufacturers to produce innovative electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) concepts. End-of-Life (EOL) for the vehicle's battery is often taken to be the battery having 80% retained capacity....

Aiming to reduce the number of brown (polluting) cars on the road, several countries currently promote the purchase and use of green (emission-free) cars through financial and non-financial incentives. We study how such incentives affect consumers who continue to drive brown cars. Using a simple...

We present a novel methodology to quantify the social costs and benefits (net social costs) of electric vehicles as an endogenous, demand-driven abatement technology in a general equilibrium framework. This new costing approach relates general equilibrium effects resulting from an increased...

Purpose: Polarization voltage of the lithium-ion battery is an important parameter that has direct influence on battery performance. The paper aims to analyze the impedance characteristics of the lithium-ion battery based on EIS data. Design/methodology/approach: The effects of currents, initial...

Purpose: Electric vehicles industry has gotten a rapid development in the world, especially in the developed countries, but still has a gap among different countries or regions. The advanced industrialization experiences of the EVs in the developed countries will have a great helpful for the...

Abstract In 2002, the California Public Utilities Commission alleged that a group of energy sellers had overcharged California ratepayers by approximately $14 billion. The case went to trial and was dismissed, appealed, and ultimately remanded to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. It...
