Researchers forecast light-duty vehicle electricity use in 2050 considering electrification, autonomy and sharing: 13-26% of total demand

Green Car Congress

Considering electrification, autonomy and sharing (the “Three Revolutions”), a team from Boston University and the University of California, Berkeley projects that electricity use from light duty vehicle (LDV) transport will likely be in the 570–1140?TWh The realm of potential transportation futures is still highly uncertain.

EIA Annual Energy Outlook explores implications of behavior and demographics on light-duty vehicle energy demand

Green Car Congress

Light-duty VMT is beginning to decouple from traditional drivers. The most recent of these In Focus articles explores the impact of demographics and behavior on light-duty vehicle (LDV) energy demand. The Reference case in AEO2014 assumes that VMT per licensed driver begins to increase after 2018. Source: EIA.

U of Toronto study finds US electrification of LDV fleet not a silver bullet for tackling climate change in vehicle sector

Green Car Congress

A new study by researchers at the University of Toronto has found that current US policies are insufficient to remain within a sectoral CO 2 emission budget for light-duty vehicles that is consistent with preventing more than 2?°C GtCO 2 (28% of the projected 2015–2050 light-duty vehicle fleet emissions).
