The research conducted by the advanced development and production development departments of automotive OEMs and suppliers show that much work is clearly being done on electrically powered vehicles and related mobility concepts. Some products have already advanced beyond the experimental stage, while many others are prepared to follow shortly. This has put systematic testing of vehicle electron...

This book provides the mathematical models and tools needed to plan operate future power systems. It discusses challenging task of integrating ...

In recent years, car-sharing systems have been announced as a way to increase mobility and to decrease the number of single-occupant vehicles, congestion, and air pollution in many parts of the world. This study presents a linear programming model to optimize one-way car-sharing systems for electric cars considering the depreciation costs of chargers and vehicles as well as relocation cost of v...

Promoting the use of electric vehicles (EVs) is one key governmental initiatives for reducing harmful pollutants and combating climate change. But this best or most effective way to save planet? EVs are touted their eco-friendliness but they really green? I discuss five reasons question ability live up hype. The questionable green linkage includes sourcing (some which non-green); batteries (man...

With an electrified passenger transportation fleet, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced significantly depending on the electric power production mix. Increased electric power consumption due to electric vehicle charging demands of electric vehicle fleets may be met by increased amount of renewable power production in the electrical systems. With electric vehicle fleets in the transportati...
