Germany's current government is planning to realign its energy transition. Against this backdrop, this report provides an overview of current developments in key technologies and indicators for flexibility in the electricity sector. For photovoltaics, growth appears to be leveling off,...

A rapid transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles is essential for climate protection in road transport. This report highlights current trends in electric mobility in Germany based on data from the Open Energy Tracker platform. Although new registrations of electric passenger cars...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are crucial for cutting transportation emissions, yet the policy drivers of EV innovation remain underexplored. This study analyzes firm-level panel data on EV and battery patents, covering more than 4,000 firms across 19 countries from 2010 to 2021, to assess how these...

I study the credit channel of the electric-vehicle (EV) transition using more than 1.8 million German auto loans and leases. I show that EV financing contracts default significantly less often than comparable internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) contracts-particularly among lower-income...

Electric vehicles (EVs) in the EU face growing turbulence as shrinking consumer subsidies coincide with intensified competition from lower-cost Chinese manufacturers. Recent EU measures - higher tariffs on Chinese EVs and a strategy to reinforce the full industrial value chain - aim to safeguard...

Motorcycle-taxis are among the fastest-growing forms of informal transport in developing economies, providing essential mobility and absorbing millions of workers into flexible but precarious livelihoods. As ride-hailing platforms increasingly drive electric motorcycle adoption in this sector,...

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...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the transportation landscape through rapid technological advancements and a growing focus on sustainability. This review offers a structured, multi-dimensional synthesis of the EV ecosystem, examining its historical evolution, core technologies, market...

This research investigates the potential impact of adopting electric vehicles (EVs) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The aim is to evaluate the extent to which varying EV adoption rates can contribute to emissions reductions. A systematic literature...

With the growing urgency of climate change, automobile manufacturers are increasingly transitioning from gasoline-powered vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs) to meet the global demand for cleaner technology. However, despite financial incentives and regulatory efforts, EV adoption in developing...

Transport emissions play a crucial role in the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG) and the progression of climate change. Electric vehicles (EV) present a viable solution to this issue, aligning with the sustainable development goal through affordable and clean energy. However, in numerous...

The integration of diverse clean energy sources poses both challenges and opportunities for future energy systems. A critical issue that necessitates attention is the uncertainty related to clean energy production, as well as the complexities involved in optimizing its scheduling. This study...

This study investigates consumer preferences for passenger battery electric vehicles and their joint adoption with a residential solar photovoltaic system in Greece, where electric vehicle uptake remains low. Using discrete choice experiments, we analyse the preferences of 891 potential car...

Electric, hydrogen, methanol, and biofuel cars are becoming popular for reducing road transport emissions. In limited operational contexts, these technologies are commonly called clean or zero-emission, but resource availability, lifetime implications, and infrastructural restrictions determine...

Emissions are emitted throughout the energy supply chain. In demand sector, transitioning from fossil fuel-based vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs) is a key step. However, the growth of EVs will lead to higher emissions if, in supply sector, the energy sources rely mainly on Non-Renewable...
