“…Similarly, factors such as the level of access to charging infrastructure (Lin 2014) and two car households, which reduce desired range (Jakobsson et al 2016), as well as charging time (Egbue and Long 2012), which are important barriers to diffusion of electric vehicles (Biresselioglu et al 2018), are not taken in to account. Finally, the development of additional aspects of total cost of ownership such as maintenance, depreciation, and repairs is still uncertain for BEVs compared to conventional vehicles (Breetz and Salon 2018). Still, our scenarios show that in a simplified model that assumes one consumer market, and in which decisions are based on costs, average battery capacity is a key assumption.…”

Transport electrification: the effect of recent battery cost reduction on future emission scenarios

Although the rapid fall in the costs of batteries has made electric vehicles (EVs) more affordable and boosted their sales, EVs still account for only a fraction of total car sales. In the last years, the battery costs of electric vehicles have dropped faster than previously estimated in the empirical literature. As a result, future cost projections have been adjusted. The larger than expected reduction in costs also shows the uncertainty of battery cost development, which will affect the success of a transition to low-carbon transport. Integrated

“…Guan et al 34 proposed an adaptive power management strategy based on the equivalent fuel consumption minimization strategy having a superior fuel economy. Horrein et al 35 analyzed the effects of the heating on the rate of fuel consumption for a hybrid vehicle. The rate of consumption increased to 19%, with a 9°C rise in fuel inlet temperature.…”

A recent turbulence in the oil market, as well as the ever-decreasing stocks of fossil fuels, has led to growth of interest in various alternative technologies like automotive hybrid vehicles. Despite the rapid increase of markets of hybrid-electric vehicles, their scope for the Gulf Corporation Council region still needs to be explored further. Awareness about benefits of using hybrid-electric vehicles is fast spreading in the Gulf Corporation Council region and this has positive impacts both in terms of consumer satisfaction and reduction of environmental pollutants. The major aim of presented work is to explore the benefits of using hybrid vehicle technology in terms of savings in cost and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions savings were found to be in a range of 9–13%. Fuel savings per 100 km were in a range of 8–10 L. The presented work discusses various issues related to background, features, and components of hybrid vehicles. Trends in the design, energy management, component sizing, energy costs, greenhouse emissions, fuel economy, and performance of these vehicles have been analyzed. Further conclusions and recommendations have been made about these issues keeping in focus market trends in the Gulf Corporation Council region.

“…The authors of this study have performed previous TCO applications to different market segments including private cars ( [9,[12][13][14]), LCVs ( [15]) and taxis ( [16]). Some studies have performed cross-country ( [17,18]) or cross-city ( [19]) comparisons. [20] and [21] consider whether the car is used as first or second family car.…”

The paper investigates whether it makes economic sense to use electric vehicles (EVs) in the public sector fleet. Thanks to the data collected in 2018 in 77 public sector entities in an Italian region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, we compare the total cost of ownership of a battery electric vehicle with that of a similar internal combustion engine one. We provide estimates for four scenarios (status quo, social cost internalization, price discounts and a combination of the last two) for three groups of public entities (local health authorities, municipalities and special purpose authorities) regarding passenger cars and mixed-use small light commercial vehicles. We find that, with the current price and cost structure, it makes economic sense to adopt EVs for a positive although relatively small percentage of the public sector fleet.
