Lessons From Norway’s Journey To Becoming The Global Leader In EV Adoption

Wallbox

By 2015, Norway already had 10,000 charging stations. Norway’s adaptive approach to infrastructure has also included commercial transport, with wireless charging made available to taxis in 2018, cutting the time needed to find a charger, plug in and wait to charge. Today and Tomorrow: What’s the Next Destination for Norway?

German OEMs to upgrade emissions control on 5.3M Euro 5 and 6 diesels, contribute to €500M Sustainable Mobility fund

Green Car Congress

The automakers will bear the entire cost of the retrofitting, estimated by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to be at least €500 million. In this sense, modern and clean diesel technology can also contribute to climate protection. German auto manufacturers will optimize the emissions systems in 5.3

Berkeley Lab analysis finds autonomous electric taxis could greatly reduce US LDV GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have found that the per-mile greenhouse gas emissions of an electric autonomous taxi in 2030 would be 63-82% lower than a projected 2030 hybrid vehicle driven as a privately owned car and 90% lower than a 2014 gasoline-powered private vehicle.

BCG forecasts electrified vehicles to take half of global auto market by 2030; hybrids to dominate

Green Car Congress

Three factors—technology, regulatory mandates, and consumer cost of ownership—will shape the changeover, which BCG expects to play out over three phases and about a dozen years: Phase 1. The low cost of gasoline in the US will yield similar results. The third relevant area of technology is electric power generation.

UC Davis, ITDP report finds shared mobility essential for realizing full benefits of electrification and automation

Green Car Congress

In contrast, by encouraging a large increase in trip sharing, transit use, and active transport through policies that support compact, mixed use development, cities worldwide could save an estimated $5 trillion annually by 2050 while improving livability and increasing the likelihood of meeting climate change targets.
