When looking at the key issues along the entire battery value chain, it becomes clear that there are no insurmountable obstacles to the continued widespread market diffusion of battery-electric cars. However, there are still several technical, economic, environmental, regulatory and social...

Mit dem Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien und dem Markthochlauf der Elektromobilität entstehen neue energiewirtschaftliche Herausforderungen und Anforderungen unterschiedlicher Nutzergruppen im Bereich der privaten und halböffentlichen Ladeinfrastruktur. Um aktuelle Herausforderungen im Bereich...

Electromobility policies and business models succeed only if they align with how consumers actually decide. We provide a holistic behavioral map by reviewing 1377 peer-reviewed articles (2016-2025) and structuring evidence across four domains: purchasing decisions, tariff choice, charging...

Electromobility has achieved a significant breakthrough in recent years, and numerous studies have been carried out in this field. However, the focus has mainly been on technical aspects, and current economic analyses and derived policy implications are based on these technical aspects. With the...

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the 'Fit for 55' update of the European Union's CO₂ regulation is up to the task of fixing its past mistakes and putting Europe on course to reach net zero mobility by 2050, while also dealing with the new set of challenges that arises with the...

This paper examines the concept of " twin transition " using the core/periphery structure of the European automotive industry as a case study. This term has emerged in recent years as a new leitmotif in international organisations and industrial companies. The idea is that the digital and green...

Range anxiety, the fear of depleting battery before reaching a charging station, is often cited as a major barrier to electric vehicle (EV) adoption, yet there has been limited formal economic analysis to quantify its magnitude and examine the policy implications. We develop a continuous-time...

The automotive industry in the European Union (EU) and Germany faces major challenges including decarbonisation, digitalisation and global competition. While the automotive industry has a significant economic role in terms of income and employment, it has immense ecological damages. The green...

This report evaluates potential competition issues in the provision of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure and related services for electric vehicles (EVs) across the EU27 + UK. It develops a taxonomy of possible competition concerns and collates evidence on whether there are existing...

In contrast to other sectors, such as air traffic, the transition towards CO2-neutral mobility in the car sector is within reach, but thereis still a long way to go. Now the question arises: What role does e-mobility play in Germany today and in the future? The authors analyse theimportance of...

The majority of transport decarbonisation pathways rely on the parallel electrification of the majority of modes of surface transport and significant expansion in renewable electricity generation. Whilst the integration of these two previously siloed sectors - electricity and transport - can...

Aufgrund des ökologischen und digitalen Wandels befinden sich weite Teile der deutschen Wirtschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt auf der Industrie derzeit in einer Transformation. So auch die Automobilindustrie, welche eine zentrale Rolle in der deutschen Volkswirtschaft einnimmt. Der Qualifizierung von...
