Adequate public charging infrastructure for battery electric trucks (BETs) is crucial for electrifying road freight transport and, thus, curtailing greenhouse gas emissions. Although manufacturer announcements on BET sales targets are promising, many logistic companies still question their...

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...

Heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for less than 2-5% of the vehicles on the road in Europe but contribute to 15-22% of CO2 emissions from road transport. Battery electric trucks (BETs) could be deployed on a large scale to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but they require charging infrastructure...

Adequate public charging infrastructure for battery electric trucks (BETs) is crucial for electrifying road freight transport and, thus, curtailing greenhouse gas emissions. Although manufacturer announcements on BET sales targets are promising, many logistic companies still question their...

Modern power systems increasingly rely on distributed energy resources (DERs), which requires new planning practices. This paper proposes a strategy to solve the facility allocation problem for fast charging stations (FCSs) of electric vehicles (EVs). The mixed-integer nonlinear programming...

Battery-electric vehicles provide a pathway to decarbonize heavy-duty trucking, but the market for heavy-duty battery-electric semi-trailer trucks is nascent, and specific charging requirements remain uncertain. We leverage large-scale vehicle telematics data (205 million miles of driving) to...

Auf der Basis einer Umfrage wird analysiert, wie hoch der Anteil von Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV)-Nutzenden in Deutschland ist, der erneuerbaren Strom zum Laden über entsprechende Lieferverträge bezieht und wie dies zu bewerten ist. Die Auswertung hat ergeben, dass für alle Ladeorte - zu...

This paper estimates an imperfect information discrete choice model of drivers' refueling preferences and analyzes the implications of these preferences for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Drivers respond four times more to stations' long-run average prices than to current prices and value...

We develop a game-theoretic model to compare two electric vehicle (EV) policies, i.e., an electric vehicle subsidy (EVS) and a charging infrastructure subsidy (CIS), under different market structures. We find that when a monopoly EV manufacturer also builds and operates charging stations, EVS...

Many public charging stations for electric vehicles in the United States are slow chargers installed at the premises of pre-existing businesses such as grocery stores or restaurants. This paper investigates the incentives of these retail businesses to install and operate charging stations.First,...

We study whether public charging infrastructure drives battery electric vehicle adoption. Our analysis is based on granular, annual information on the location of public charging infrastructure and the battery electric vehicle ownership rate across 356 Norwegian LAU-2 municipalities between 2009...

Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) are widely considered a promising option to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in transport. The electricity used for charging is decisive for the environmental assessment of PEV. Most studies assume the average grid mix for charging. This article provides a...

With an increasing number of electric vehicles, the strategic planning of public charging infrastructure becomes more important. In this work, the infrastructure of the charging stations in a large city is simulated. Here, various influencing factors such as number of users, charging time,...

Die Umstellung des Individualverkehrs auf Batterieelektromobilität ist ein zentraler Baustein für die zum Klimaschutz notwendige Verkehrswende. Ohne ein flächendeckendes Netz öffentlich zugänglicher Ladestationen sind Elektroautos jedoch nicht attraktiv genug. Die mangelnde Verfügbarkeit...

In diesem Working Paper wird ein möglicher Tankstellenaufbau für schwere Brennstoffzellen-Lkw (BZ-Lkw) in Deutschland bis 2050 auf Basis eines wissenschaftlichen Simulationsmodells skizziert. Bestehende oder sich im Aufbau befindliche Wasserstoff(H2)-Tankstellen für Pkw können nicht oder nur...

Im gewerblichen Bereich ist der Einsatz von Elektrofahrzeugen ökologisch und ökonomisch vielversprechend. Die gezielte Förderung der Nutzung erfordert jedoch eine gute Kenntnis der Nutzergruppen und ihren Anforderungen. Der Beitrag basiert auf einer Untersuchung in Aachen, in der...

A comprehensive roll-out of public charging infrastructure will be costly. However, its impact on the diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) is not clear at all. Our study aims at estimating the extent to which an increasing availability of public charging infrastructure promotes consumers’...

The International Energy Agency prepared this report, within the framework of a Global Environment Facility (GEF) programme aimed at supporting low- and middle-income economies in their transition to E-mobility. It is the first deliverable of Working Group Four on Charging, Grid Integration,...

This paper explores factors that determine the usefulness of public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles from the point of view of its potential users. Our analysis is based on evaluations of different (hypothetical) public charging infrastructure networks by 1003 drivers of passenger...

In deutschen Großstädten kommen heute gerade einmal gut drei Elektroautos auf einen Ladepunkt. Die Betreiber der Ladestationen können daher mit dem Stromverkauf kein profitables Geschäft machen. Doch ohne eine flächendeckende Ladeinfrastruktur bleibt die Anschaffung eines Elektrofahrzeugs...
