The paper is published in the journal Nature Climate Change. A lot of people think that a large-scale shift to EVs will mostly solve our climate problems in the passenger vehicle sector. Finally, there are technical challenges to do with the supply of critical materials, such as lithium, cobalt and manganese for batteries.

We optimize fleet composition (mix of conventional vehicles (CVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs)) and operations to satisfy demand at minimum cost and compare findings across a wide range of present-day and future scenarios for three cities. —Bruchon et al.

The battery pack alone weighs over 2,900 pounds—about the weight of a Honda Civic. Combustible, energy-dense petroleum is replaced by bulky batteries. The researchers suggested that taxing heavy cars could be part of a solution, along with driving less, and other technology-based weight reductions efforts. Shaffer et al.

We’re proposing solutions that would recover system costs through sales or income taxes, or an income-based fixed charge, which would pay for long-term capital costs while ensuring all those who use the system—and specifically, wealthier households—contribute equitably.

A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. We need both a policy like a carbon tax and to put more R&D money into renewables.

The UK automotive industry warned that the current anti-diesel agenda combined with the ongoing slow take-up of electric vehicles could mean industry misses its next round of CO 2 targets in 2021, with negative consequences for the UK’s own climate change goals. For pure battery-powered vehicles, take-up is even lower (0.5%).

T&E said governments should therefore end the purchase subsidies and tax breaks for plug-in hybrids. Among the findings : The BMW X5, Volvo XC60 and Mitsubishi Outlander emitted 28-89% more CO 2 than claimed when tested by Emissions Analytics on a fully charged battery in optimal conditions.
