  • One Million Electric Vehicles by 2015
    One Million Electric Vehicles By 2015 February 2011 Status Report 1 Executive Summary President Obama’s goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 represents a key milestone toward dramatically reducing dependence on oil and ensuring that America leads in the growing electric vehicle manufacturing industry. Although the goal is ambitious, key steps already taken and further steps proposed indicate the goal is achievable. Indeed, leading vehicle manufacturers already have plans for cumulative U.S. production capacity of more than 1.2 million electric vehicles by 2015, according to public announcements and news reports. While it appears that the goal is within reach in terms of production capacity, initial costs and lack of familiarity with the technology could be barriers. For that reason, President Obama has proposed steps to accelerate America’s leadership in electric vehicle deployment, including improvements to existing consumer tax credits, programs to help cities prepare for growing demand for electric vehicles and strong support for research and development. Introduction In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Obama called for putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 – affirming and highlighting a goal aimed at building U.S. leadership in technologies that reduce our dependence on oil.1 Electric vehicles (“EVs”) – a term that includes plug-in hybrids, extended range electric vehicles and all- electric vehicles -- represent a key pathway for reducing petroleum dependence, enhancing environmental stewardship and promoting transportation sustainability, while creating high quality jobs and economic growth. To achieve these benefits and reach the goal, President Obama has proposed a new effort that supports advanced technology vehicle adoption through improvements to tax credits in current law, investments in R&D and competitive “With more research and incentives, programs to encourage communities to invest we can break our dependence on oil in infrastructure supporting these vehicles.

  • Norway's Efforts to Electrify Transportation
    Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation Nathan Lemphers Environmental Governance Lab Working Paper 2019-2 Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation EGL Working Paper 2019-2 September 2019 Nathan Lemphers, Research Associate Environmental Governance Lab Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto [email protected] Norway’s policies to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption have been highly successful. In 2017, 39 per cent of all new car sales in Norway were all-electric or hybrid, making it the world’s most advanced market for electric vehicles (IEA 2018). This high rate of EV ownership is the result of 30 years of EV policies, Norway’s particular political economy, and significant improvements in EV and battery technology. This paper argues that Norway’s sustained EV policy interventions are not only starting to decarbonize personal transportation but also spurring innovative electrification efforts in other sectors such as maritime transport and short- haul aviation. To explain this pattern of scaling, the paper employs Bernstein and Hoffmann’s (2018) framework on policy pathways towards decarbonization. It finds political causal mechanisms of capacity building and normalization helped create a welcoming domestic environment to realize early uptake and scaling of electric vehicles, and subsequently fostered secondary scaling in other modes of transportation. The initial scaling was facilitated by Norway’s unique political economy. Ironically, Norway’s climate leadership is, in part, because of its desire to sustain oil and gas development. This desire steered the emission mitigation focus towards sectors of the economy that are less contentious and lack opposing incumbents.

  • The Tiny State That Could
    The Tiny State That Could Despite Small Size, Indiana Attracts Large Global Investments By Candace Gwaltney ot to give Indiana an inferiority complex, but here’s the reality. Hoosiers account for about 2.1% of the United States’ population and the state is the 13th smallest in land area. That makes Indiana just a tiny speck on the global business landscape. That’s the challenge when trying to attract international companies – a fact that became painfully clear for Secretary of Commerce Mitch Roob when meeting with global site selection consultants in New York in mid-2009. About a third of the way Nthrough his pitch for why their clients should come to Indiana, one of the consultants interrupted him with a question: Which ‘I’ state are you from? The good news is foreign investments remain a key success for Indiana’s economic development program, Roob asserts. “We continue to focus a lot of (the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s) time and attention and the governor’s time and attention (on these efforts).” More than 700 international companies operate in Indiana, according to the IEDC. Global investments come in the form of big names such as Nestlé and Honda, as well as lesser known companies such as Sweden-based leisure product producer Dometic and German specialty chemical company Evonik. Foreign investments also include companies that expand current Indiana facilities and businesses that consolidate operations to a Hoosier city. The bottom line for Roob and others charged with bringing these companies here is more opportunities for the workforce. Since 2005, Indiana has attracted more than 16,500 new jobs from around the globe and $7.6 billion in foreign direct investments.

  • Effects of Change in the Weight of Electric Vehicles on Their Performance Characteristics
    Agronomy Research 15 (S1), 952–963, 2017 Effects of change in the weight of electric vehicles on their performance characteristics D. Berjoza 1* and I. Jurgena 2,* 1Latvia University of Agriculture, Technical Faculty, Institute of Motor Vehicles, 5 J. Cakstes boulevard, LV-3001 Jelgava, Latvia 2Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Economics and Social Development, Institute of Business and Management Science, 18 Svetes str., LV-3001 Jelgava, Latvia *Correspondence: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. One of the parameters of electric vehicles that can affect their dynamic and range characteristics is their weight. Converting a vehicle with an internal combustion engine into an electric one, it is possible to vary its batteries and their placement. It is also possible to choose batteries of various capacities for serial electric vehicles, for example, Tesla Model S. Not only the costs of electric vehicles but also such performance characteristics as dynamics and travel range per charge depend on the number of batteries and the total weight of the electric vehicles. The research developed and approbated an algorithm for calculating comparative parameters for electric automobiles. The algorithm was approbated on 30 electric automobiles of various makes. Energy consumption per km distance travelled shows the exploitation cost of an electric automobile. According to this indicator, the most economical electric automobiles were as follows: Renault Twizy (67.8 Wh km -1), Tazzari Zero (87.9 Wh km -1) un Renault Zoe ZE22 (93.6 Wh km -1). Key words: batteries, range, batteries capacity, energy consumption, weight coefficient, gross weight. INTRODUCTION One of the technical parameters of vehicles is their weight.
