A National Assessment of the Air Quality and Health Impacts of Vehicle Travel and Electrification: Phase 1 Near Roadway Impacts and Equity Analysis

  • Principal Investigator Gregory Rowangould, Ph.D.
  • University of Vermont
This project will address limitations in the current literature surrounding air quality impacts of vehicle traffic, especially in underserved communities. The team will employ a refined near-roadway emission exposure surrogate that balances spatial precision and computational burden to estimate changes in exposure levels and health risks and the distribution of these burdens over time as EV adoption increases.

Battery Technologies for Current and Future Heavy-Duty and Transit Electric Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Andrew Burke, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
This research project will study battery technologies that can significantly increase the energy density to at least 500 Wh/kg or higher and reduce charging time to fifteen minutes or lower and have a cell cost to the original equipment manufacturer of $70/kWh or lower in a large battery pack (>500 kWh).

Review and Analysis of Current and Future Battery Technologies for Transit Electric Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Petros Ioannou, Ph.D.
  • University of Southern California
To meet sales requirements of zero-emission transit buses, medium-duty (MD) trucks, and heavy-duty (HD) trucks in California, improvements in battery performance and costs are necessary. This project will support this transition through analysis of battery capabilities, charging infrastructure availability, and vehicle routing strategies.
