How cities can drive the electric vehicle revolution | Nature Electronics

Cities are central to increasing the uptake of electric vehicles. A range of situational and contextual factors will influence this process, and cities need to use a variety of mechanisms — including policies and incentives — to drive the necessary change.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Performance of Electric and Fossil-Fueled Passenger Vehicles with Uncertainty Estimates Using a Probabilistic Life-Cycle Assessment

A technology assessment is conducted for battery electric and conventional fossil-fueled passenger vehicles for three Australian scenarios and seven Australian states and territories. This study uses a probabilistic life-cycle assessment (pLCA) to explicitly quantify uncertainty in the LCA inputs and results.

Real-world emission factors for SUVs using on-board emission testing and geo-computation

A Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) was used to measure emissions of five sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in a wide range of real-world driving conditions. The program included testing of fuel quality, coast-down and emissions in start, hot running and extended idling conditions. Geo-computation methods were used to add critical information (road gradient) to the PEMS data.

E scooter impacts on Public Transport participation

Modelling of e Scooter emissions footprint compared to replaced transport modes footprints based on greater accessibility to Public Transport for users, increased PT participation switching from other modes of transport, to determine net improvements in carbon reductions using LCA computations, for APAC cities of deployment
