Sustainable Electric Vehicle Transportation

Abstract

The future direction of electric vehicle (EV) transportation in relation to the energy demand for charging EVs needs a more sustainable roadmap, compared to the current reliance on the centralised electricity grid system. It is common knowledge that the current state of electricity grids in the biggest economies of the world today suffer a perennial problem of power losses; and were not designed for the uptake and integration of the growing number of large-scale EV charging power demands from the grids. To promote sustainable EV transportation, this study aims to review the current state of research and development around this field. This study is significant to the effect that it accomplishes four major objectives. (1) First, the implication of large-scale EV integration to the electricity grid is assessed by looking at the impact on the distribution network. (2) Secondly, it provides energy management strategies for optimizing plug-in EVs load demand on the electricity distribution network. (3) It provides a clear direction and an overview on sustainable EV charging infrastructure, which is highlighted as one of the key factors that enables the promotion and sustainability of the EV market and transportation sector, re-engineered to support the United Nations Climate Change Agenda. Finally, a conclusion is made with some policy recommendations provided for the promotion of the electric vehicle market and widespread adoption in any economy of the world.

Borophene Potential for Developing Next-Generation Battery Applications: A Comprehensive Review

“…Advanced batteries have the potential to enhance energy storage capacity, improve grid stability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions . Furthermore, they can contribute to the electrification of transportation, promoting a more sustainable future. , There are numerous advantages of metal-ion batteries, and in previous decades, huge interest has been developed to replace vehicle engines with electric motors for electrical vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. This will ultimately enable independence from fossil fuels, which is environmentally friendly and protects societies from harmful emissions.…”
