“…Therefore, to maximize the effect of nationwide CO 2 reduction from EVs, the generation mix should be more eco‐friendly. This is similar to the conclusions of Edwards, Larive, and Beziat (), Faria, Moura, Delgado, and Almeida (), Kim (), Nikitas, Kougias, Alyavina, and Tchouamou () and Richardson (). South Korea currently generates about 67% of electricity from fossil fuels, 43.1% from coal, 23.7% from gas and oil, and 26.8% from nuclear power (Korea Electric Power Corporation, ).…”

Is the environment‐friendly factor attractive to customers when purchasing electric vehicles? Evidence from South Korea

In a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, several countries worldwide are implementing policies to promote electric vehicles (EVs). However, contrary to expectations, the diffusion speed of EVs has been rather slow in South Korea. This study analyzes consumer preferences for the technological and environmental attributes of EVs and derives policy and environmental implications to promote market diffusion of EVs in South Korea. We conduct a choice‐based conjoint survey of 1,008 consumers in South Korea and estimate the consumer utility function using a mixed logit model considering consumer heterogeneity. Based on the consumer utility function, we analyze consumers' willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for EV attributes such as driving range, charging method, charging time, autonomous driving function, carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction rate, and purchase price. The results indicate that the current low acceptance of EVs is due to their relatively high price and lack of a battery charging technology that satisfies consumers' expectations of the charging method and time. One interesting finding is that Korean consumers have a relatively higher WTP for the CO2 reduction rate of EVs than consumers in other countries; however, they do not consider CO2 reduction over other technological attributes when choosing EVs. This implies that the rate of CO2 reduction of EVs is not an important factor for South Korean consumers when buying EVs. We also calculate the effect of CO2 reduction with the market penetration of EVs and find that CO2 reduction through the diffusion of EVs depends on the country's electricity generation mix.

“…Effectively, several types of researches proved that a smart city will encourage using the electrical transportation systems, as electric cars and electric buses, in which the problems related to the high recharge delay will be eliminated in the future. [35][36][37] The notion of connected vehicles can be beneficial to save energy inside the EVs, and several test and discussion in relation were exposed in the previous studies. 2,38,39 As the new commercialized vehicles were equipped with a wireless communication system, each vehicle can be proactive, cooperative, well-informed, and coordinated and will pave the way for supporting various applications for road safety.…”

Summary The communication technologies were evolving rapidly and making everything connected. Peoples, vehicles, and buildings become connected everywhere. Concentrating on the targets that vehicle can be connected with, the present paper exposes a new power management approach applicable for three kinds of connected vehicles. Vehicle to buildings or infrastructure, vehicle to network, and vehicle to vehicle are the three communication protocols between vehicle and external targets. The proposed approach is designed for implementing all of these three communication cases. It is based on the principle of vehicle data sharing. Each vehicle will share a package of data, which contain information related to the vehicle status and the road condition. This information will be collected in a database and used for managing the power inside these cars. This approach is built on two stages; the first one is related to vehicles' classification, and the second one is attached to the recommendation, and this is according to the car position and according to the communication protocol case. The first stage was resolved using the support vector classification method. The second stage was treated using the artificial intelligence principle, and the neural network was employed. So the optimal decision will be outputted. According to the vehicle communication method, the optimal decision will be identified inside the building, infrastructure, vehicle, or the cloud database. This will be related to the vehicle position using the old vehicle's data. So the obtained decission will be transferred to the coming vehicle, for optimizing its energy consumption method in the corresponding area. Different possibilities and situations were discussed in this approach. The power management methodology was verified and confirmed. For showing the efficiency of this approach, a comparison of the obtained results in relation to the battery state of charge and the consumed energy results will be done. Matlab simulink was used for doing the necessary tests.

“…In the field of mobility, sharing is usually related to shared use mobility, that is, "travel alternatives that try to maximise the utilisation levels of the finite mobility resources that a society can realistically afford to have by disengaging their usage from ownership-bound limitations" [14] (p. 11). These may include services whose business model is based on the access to (rather than ownership of) vehicles, such as bikesharing, carsharing or ridesharing.…”

“…However, the concept of shared use mobility may assume a specific meaning referring to practices: this would refer to unprecedented initiatives in which individuals share material assets (e.g., vehicles, money) and immaterial resources (e.g., individual skills, free time slots) between themselves to provide needed services or to coordinate individual needs, in order to enhance the access to places and the valued opportunities they offer. The focus on practices is in line with some distinguishing features of shared use mobility [14] (p. 11), such as providing a wider range of mobility choices, delivering first-and last-mile solutions to help riders connect with other forms of transport, cutting down transportation costs for individuals and households, and even establishing an ethos of sharing resources on an as-needed basis within communities. Furthermore, practices focus on a small part of the extensive and sometimes ambiguous field of shared use mobility, also providing a better representation of the shared-mobility users' behaviour, an element required for also improving urban transport analysis [15] (p. 408).…”

Producing Opportunities Together: Sharing-Based Policy Approaches for Marginal Mobilities in Bogotá

Everyday mobility practices are increasingly an element of interest for urban policy, as well as for suggesting alternative solutions to urban issues. Amongst their manifold contributions, practices can be relevant for securing individuals' access to places and opportunities. They can do so by promoting services and behaviours based on resources that individuals may share between themselves. This role could be significant especially for those settings where the traditional provision of transport services and infrastructures is more difficult, such as in the informal settlements of the urban South. Drawing on these assumption, this paper intends to investigate policy solutions based on mobility practices, as a suitable way to enhance the access to urban opportunities from informal settlements. Policy approaches focused on mobility supply and demand are explored, addressing options such as the coproduction of mobility services and behavioural approaches based on demand matchmaking. A possible operationalization of such approaches is explored in the marginal informal neighbourhoods of Bogotá, considering their accessibility issues, how shared use mobility policies may tackle them, and what features are necessary for the implementation of such measures. The proposed policy measures emerge as suitable operational options that nonetheless require recognition and support by the institutions responsible for urban mobility planning.
