Study finds no benefit to delaying or weakening ZEV policies to drive transition to electric drive

Green Car Congress

Similarly, the study found, delaying the ZEV mandate is estimated to reduce upfront costs, but cause an even greater reduction in the present value of benefits. Even using pessimistic assumptions about future costs of electric drive technologies, the study showed no net benefit to delaying or weakening ZEV requirements.

RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE COMMISSION: Drive Electric’s advice on the second draft of the Emissions Reduction Plan (2026-2030)

Drive Electric

The government itself has set a target to have 30% of the light fleet electric by 2035. By definition this transition is not just about transport, it’s also about energy. We would make the following additional points: E-mobility, by definition, depends on affordable and reliable renewable electricity.

Study finds autonomous vehicles may plausibly nearly double, or nearly halve, road transport GHGs depending on the scenario

Green Car Congress

Changes in energy intensity per kilometer, travel demand, and total road transport energy consumption for light-duty (LDV) and heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) under varying automation scenarios. The study does not attempt to predict definitive changes in energy consumption due to vehicle automation. Wadud et al. Click to enlarge.

U Chicago study proposes market-based approach to fuel economy standards to deal with impacts of fuel price volatility

Green Car Congress

The reality is, we just don’t know what the cost of gas is going to be, and the success of fuel economy standards hinges on that price signal. The increase in fuel economy above whatever consumers would normally choose on their own should never be less than that determined by the social cost of carbon.

OpenADR: A Bridge Between EV Fleets and the Grid

EV Connect

Electric vehicles (EVs) are looking to be a huge part of our future. As the costs of climate change and the price of oil both become too high to bear, auto manufacturers will shift more of their vehicle fleets to electric. While this definition is rather opaque, we intend to break it down.
