Electric Vehicles for Smart Cities: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities uniquely examines different approaches to electric vehicle deployment in the context of smart cities. It provides a holistic picture of electromobility within urban areas, offering an integrated approach to city transportation systems by considering the energy systems, latest vehicle technologies, and transport infrastructure. Electric Vehicles for Smart Cities addresses the interaction between grid infrastructure, vehicles, costs and benefits, and operational reliability within an integrated framework. The book examines the role electric vehicles play in the social and political aspects of climate change mitigation, as well as a renewable energy-based economy. It explains how electric vehicles and their system requirements work, including recharging techniques and infrastructures, and discusses alternative market deployment approaches. Includes case studies from cities around the world, including Amsterdam, London, Oslo, Barcelona, Los Angeles, New York, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Tokyo, and Goto Islands Traces the developments, innovations, advantages, and disadvantages in the electric car industry Provides learning aids such as discussion questions and text boxes

"The Guidelines for the Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at State-Owned Facilities are a detailed description of the process for the procurement and installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), also referred to as charging stations, at state-owned facilities. These guidelines serve as part of Connecticut's comprehensive strategy to achieve wide-scale electric vehicle deployment, reduce harmful criteria pollutants from the transportation sector, meet federal health-based air quality standards, and mitigate communities' exposure to toxins emitted from mobile sources"--Executive summary.

China is the world's second largest car market, and the world's number one luxury car market. So in every aspect, the developments of the Chinese car market are important and indicative of global trends. This research began as an interest in the proportion of luxury cars to basic cars on China's roads. This led to a following of luxury automaker Tesla's debut in China, which further questioned how the Chinese market would accept a fully electric car and the development of a nationally interconnected charging station infrastructure, such as the infrastructure already present in America and Europe. The questions leading into the research were what are the unique obstacles of China's transportation sector to developing a nationally connected charging station infrastructure, whether the Chinese market will develop a demand for fully electric vehicles in the near future, would Tesla be the flagship electric vehicle in China or would a home-grown company offer an alternative in China, and how would the service sector in China adapt to accommodate fully electric vehicles. The discussions of these issues are from the lenses of government regulations, sales and marketing, infrastructure development, consumer habits, and current practical use of electric vehicles in China. This study surveys charging station sites in China, studies market sources in China, and records a participation in an internship and negotiations between an automotive investor and official Tesla correspondents in China. The conclusion is: the construction of the charging station infrastructure is dependent upon a continual increase in electric vehicle drivers, consumer's willingness to adapt their ideology on replenishing a vehicle's fuel, development of a very capable basic entry level fully electric vehicle, and continued government incentives for pure electric vehicles. In response to internship experience and the Tesla negotiation outcome, the author proposes several strategic modifications, such as free destination charging, electric vehicle emergency range extension service subscription, and a media campaign to glamorize the battery charging lifestyle.

For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

In cognizant of the fact that accessibility of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations is an important determining factor for EV adoption, many governments are contemplating with the ideas of constructing extra EV charging stations directly or offering subsidy to entice automakers to construct more EV charging stations so that a certain EV adoption target is achieved. To do so, governments need to coordinate with automakers to ensure the total number of charging stations is planned optimally. In this paper, we examine this coordination problem by considering the case when the government can either build extra EV charging stations directly or offer “per station subsidy” to entice automakers to build them. Also, to achieve a certain EV adoption target, the government can also offer “per unit purchase subsidy” to consumers. By consider the interactions among the government, automakers, and consumers, our equilibrium analysis yields the following results. First, we find that either the government or the automakers (but not both) should build extra EV charging stations in order to achieve a certain EV adoption target. Second, the entity (the government or the automaker) that is responsible for constructing charging stations depends on the adoption target and the construction cost of EV stations. Third, when the construction cost is high, it can be more cost effective for the government to offer per unit purchase subsidy than to construct extra new charging stations directly or indirectly via per station subsidy. These results can be served as guidelines for the government when contemplating with the idea of constructing extra EV charging stations directly or providing incentives for automakers to build extra EV stations.
