Improving public charging infrastructure reliability
The reliability of public chargers should be assessed and improved to ensure problems do not hasten the transition to electric vehicles. This briefing summarizes issues concerning the reliability of publicly accessible charging infrastructure, reviews actions taken to...
Scaling up reuse and recycling of electric vehicle batteries: Assessing challenges and policy approaches
This paper summarizes how battery reuse and recycling can strengthen the environmental and social benefits of a global transition to electric vehicles. It estimates the volumes of end-of-life vehicle batteries that could be reused in second-life applications up to...
Environmental justice impacts of zero-emission vehicles
Despite rapid growth in adoption of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) across the globe, only a small number of countries and regions—mainly the United States, China, and Northern Europe—claim most of the ZEV market share, while ZEV sales in other nations have less...
Charging solutions for battery-electric trucks
Provides an overview of charging solutions for battery-electric trucks, the estimated impact on the electricity grid, and policies to encourage infrastructure buildout
Understanding and supporting the used zero-emission vehicle market
Most zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) purchases are concentrated among early-adopting new vehicle buyers. Making ZEVs accessible to all drivers—including across the used vehicle market—is critical to ensuring used car buyers experience ZEV benefits and that broader...
