Nowadays, transportation is one of the main air pollution sources and has a significant impact on human health and environmental quality. The electric vehicle is a zero emission vehicle powered by an electric motor with power from an electricity source, usually a battery or super-capacitor. However, monitoring and managing the recharging of electric vehicles represents a challenge. The purpose ...

The use of electric vehicles as reasonable alternatives to conventional vehicles with combustion engines will become more attractive in the near future. In addition, the ongoing energy turnaround increases the required amount of regulation reserves to stabilize the power grid. In this paper, we employ an Energy Informatics approach to construct an IS-centric business model to coordinate the cha...

Environmental Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles In the most comprehensive environmental assessment of electric transportation to date, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are examining the greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The purpose of the program is to evaluate th...

Electric vehicle charging stations are essential infrastructure in developing electric vehicles. In order to construct reasonable amount of electric vehicle charging stations with proper locations, a mathematical multi-level layout planning model, which aims at minimizing the initial construction investment and the users’ charging cost simultaneously, is employed in this paper. An improved gene...
