This project will study the factors influencing the total cost of ownership and operation of Plug-In Electric Vehicles and how policies like CAFE and fuel/electricity price trends impact the comparative costs of internal combustion engines and plug-in electric vehicles.

Using stated preference choice experiments, this study tries to fill the two gaps in the literature mentioned here: identify the drivers of choice of charging location during non-routine charging events and quantitative estimates of consumer preference for pricing strategies and other charging infrastructure attributes in case of routine nonhome charging events.

This paper explores the presence and magnitude of potential co-benefits of reducing vehicle miles of travel, providing California-specific examples where available.

This project addresses the need to increase access to grant funds to develop electric vehicle (EV) carsharing in underserved communities, particularly in rural and suburban areas. The research team designed this translational research project to engage communities interested in developing electric carsharing programs.

The electrification of privately owned vehicles is a necessary step to eliminating transportation greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of electric vehicles so far has been heavily focused among high-income commuters who live in major metropolitan areas.

This project studies the potential of renewable hydrogen fueling / fast EV charging stations at California Highway Safety Rest Areas (HSRA).

The research examined the sustainability and equity implications of California's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which intended to encourage markets for zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles.

This research examines the economic implications of the U.S. renewable fuel standard and the California low carbon fuels standard.

This project analyzes the effects of government subsidies and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) on the U.S. ethanol industry.
