The study found that for small and medium passenger vehicles, expected lifetime cost per kilometer for EVs is already lower than that of conventional ICE. The total cost of ownership includes the vehicle price, annual fuel and maintenance costs and insurance. Future costs have been discounted at 7%. Source: AECOM.

EIA added a premium to the capital cost of CO 2 -intensive technologies to reflect current market behavior regarding possible future policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. World oil prices rise in the Reference case, as pressure from growth in global demand continues. Click to enlarge.

World production of fossil fuels—oil, coal, and natural gas—increased 2.9% million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) per day, according to a Worldwatch Institute analysis. Energy prices reflected this shift: oil peaked at $144 per barrel in July, then fell to $34 per barrel in December. Oil production reached 10.7

Despite the expected reduction in cost of alternative technologies, the share of new car sales will remain relatively small; the influence of these technologies on overall emissions currently remains marginal. The latter powertrain technologies also offer the advantage of zero pollutant emissions. 34 Mton CO 2 e (WTW).

Volatility hurts us too, for as we’ve learned the price of oil can rise sharply in a short period of time. This means our economic stability is at stake because of our reliance on oil. In fact, four of the last five recessions were started by an oil price spike. [

Foremost among those findings is that a quantity-based biofuel mandate is superior to a price-based consumption subsidy. Other findings from the study include: Ethanol policy can have a substantial impact on corn prices. However, production costs of US corn-ethanol are very high.

Barriers include the increased demand for fuel tanks, leading to a decrease in payload capacity and the relatively high capital cost of the system installation. In this case GHG and other pollutants will still be emitted, but they can be reduced through exhaust gas cleaning systems or carbon capture and storage.

Second, PHEVs with smaller battery packs are more likely to deliver emissions benefits and reduced gasoline consumption at lower lifetime cost compared to those with large battery packs in the short term. Fourth, CO 2 prices as high as 100 $/t do not provide sufficient incentive for vehicle electrification.

However, consumer demand for PEVs is quite uncertain and, barring another global spike in oil prices, may be limited to a minor percentage of new vehicle purchasers (e.g., Automakers could ramp up PEV production if consumer demand proves to be larger than expected.

The best thing about the Nissan is the expected price range of $25K- $34K. It’ll be mostly driven by the cost of gas. Perhaps he knows how good it feels to drive a quiet, powerful car that doesn’t pollute. Pricing isn’t set. Oil vs. electrons. The drivability was similar to my RAV, but quicker.

Once the capital costs of setting up the facility are recouped, about ten years in this case, all they have are maintenance and operational costs since the energy source is essentially free forever. There is no pollution to speak of with these plants. The rest of Hawaii’s electricity is generated by burning oil.
