A Plug for Effective EV Rates
نویسنده
چکیده
Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a tremendous opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and save money at the same time. In the United States today, EVs generally result in substantially fewer GHG emissions compared to gasoline-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. EVs are also typically cheaper to operate than ICEs. A recent Synapse analysis found that replacing ICEs with EVs powered by renewable energy is one of the most cost-effective ways for states in the Northeast to cut GHG emissions.

Cost and Environmental Pollution Reduction Based on Scheduling of Power Plants and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...

متن کاملInfluence of electric vehicle charging rates on transformer derating in harmonic-rich battery charger applications
A study on plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging load and its impacts on distribution transformers loss-of-life, is presented in this paper. The assessment is based on residential PEV battery charging. As the exact forecasting of the charging load is not possible, the method for predicting the electric vehicle (EV) charging load is stochastically formulated. With the help of the stochastic mo...

The widespread commercial availability of plug-in Electric Vehicles (EVs) in recent years motivates policies to encourage EV adoption and infrastructure to cope with the increasing number of EVs. We present an agent-based EV ecosystem model that incorporates EV adoption and usage with spatial and temporal considerations and that can aid different EV industry stakeholders such as policymakers, u...
متن کاملConsumers' willingness to pay for alternative fuel vehicles: comparative analysis between US and Japan
This paper conducts conjoint analysis using a mixed logit model to estimate consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) on the basis of an online survey carried out in the US and Japan in 2012. We also carry out a comparative analysis across four US states. We find that on average the US consumers are more sensitive about fuel cost ...
