This dissertation presents a unified framework for understanding plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) usage, with special focus on household factors, user preferences, and PEV technologies. The researcher also looks at energy, emissions, and infrastructure-related factors.
This dissertation communicates results from three different studies on emissions reductions, charging infrastructure, and travel behavior associated with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
Check out the July edition of the US Department of Transportation’s UTC Spotlight Newsletter to learn how NCST researchers have worked with government and community partners to plan, launch, and evaluate an innovative transportation program for rural residents.
To understand potential pathways to GHG reductions, this project developed the U.S. Transportation Transitions Model (US TTM) to study various scenarios of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market penetration in the U.S.
This paper discusses the current challenges to a widespread electric vehicle transition. It acknowledges consumers’ resistance to change, changing technologies, and the urgency of addressing climate change through vehicle emissions reductions.
This project examines political, technological, economic and social barriers to widespread plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) adoption. Based on the results, the researchers recommend policy for better development, deployment, and use of PEVs.
In this study, the authors seek a deeper understanding of the challenges facing plug in electric vehicle markets and how they might evolve in different regions.
