Implementing open smart charging
This report outlines the potential benefits of smart charging, whereby electric vehicle charging is managed in response to the needs of the energy system and vehicle users, and provides recommendations for how policymakers can ensure smart charging technologies are...
Funding the transition to all zero-emission vehicles
This white paper quantifies the costs, benefits, and appropriate government funding associated with the transition to all passenger zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). It assesses the key government support programs that are needed, for how long the need continues, and how...
Accelerating the transition to ZEVs in shared and autonomous fleets
This paper analyzes the development of shared and autonomous zero-emission mobility around the world and the lessons learned thus far. It assesses circumstances where shared and autonomous fleets present opportunities and challenges for transitioning to...
Spotlight on ZEVs at the Global Climate Action Summit
Participants in the Global Climate Action Summit identified a clear solution to transportation and fright issues: zero-emission vehicles.
Lessons learned on early electric vehicle fast-charging deployments
This white paper provides an overview of electric vehicle fast charging installed around the world and the lessons to be learned thus far. We review future-looking studies in the context of current deployments to interpret what the future might hold for the number of...
Beyond road vehicles: Survey of zero-emission technology options across the transport sector
This working paper discusses the potential of zero-emission technologies to reduce emissions from non-road transport, including aviation, maritime, off-road, and rail. These modes represent a quarter of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions and pose significant...
Developing hydrogen fueling infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles: A status update
This paper assesses the development of hydrogen fueling infrastructure networks around the world. We compile data on the current state of development of fuel cell vehicle technology. We summarize research on hydrogen fueling infrastructure, technology pathways,...
Emerging best practices for electric vehicle charging infrastructure
This report provides a global assessment of charging infrastructure deployment practices, challenges, and emerging best practices in major electric vehicle markets. Although most early adopters charge their vehicles at home, public charging is an important part of the...
Transitioning to zero-emission heavy-duty freight vehicles
Assesses zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle technologies to support decarbonization of the freight sector in the 2025–2030 timeframe. Synthesizes data from the research literature, demonstrations, and low-volume commercial trucks regarding their potential to deliver freight with zero tailpipe emissions. Analyzes the emerging technologies by their cost of ownership and life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for China, Europe, and the United States.
Literature review of electric vehicle consumer awareness and outreach
Reviews the global practices on electric vehicle consumer awareness activities, summarizing the projects, initiatives, and exemplary practices among national and subnational governments in consumer education, awareness, and outreach.
