“…Similar EV rebound effects have been found in Austria [40] and Sweden [41]. Modelling of EV driving behaviour in South Korea further underscores this paradox [42]: EVs are more technically efficient than conventional cars, meaning they have great carbon abatement potential, but if/when adopters increase their annual mileage, overall emissions for transport can actually increase. This underscores that EVs can entrench automobility.…”

Over the last decade or more, the automobility literature has sought to observe and affect the dynamic tenacity of passenger vehicles. This paper takes up a recent call to actually study how private electric vehicles (EVs) are changing automobility. For this, it identifies four qualitative categories of automobility: general vehicle use, the car in daily life, vehicle symbolism and the effects of electrification. We study how these categories are affected by electric vehicles based on original data we gathered during a large empirical research project in the five Nordic countries, consisting of 227 expert interviews, 8 focus groups and 4,322 randomized survey respondents. We find a paradoxical relationship between EVs and automobility. Some aspects embed and strengthen carbased mobility and the current automobility regime, as EVs essentially offer a substitution technology. In other contexts, however, EVs challenge, threaten, and open up questions about automobility and germinate an awareness that it cannot continue as is. We conclude by arguing that the moment transport policy acknowledges this dualism and smartly links up to other developments in transport, like automation and connectivity, policy efforts can be designed to minimize drawbacks and emphasize strengths.

Extensive environmental protection activities include the promotion of alternative drive systems for motor vehicles. An important role in this field is played by hybrid vehicles, with their low operation costs being a strong marketing argument. Can such economies be conducive to the intensity of use of hybrid vehicles compared with vehicles with conventional drive systems? To answer this question, the intensity of use of hybrid vehicles was observed in a few different countries. The attention was focused on the occurrence of extreme (very low and very high) mileage values within comparable vehicle groups. The survey carried out has revealed distinct differences in the intensity of use of hybrid vehicles compared with motor vehicles with conventional drive systems (IC). The average mileage values for hybrid vehicles are higher than those recorded for conventional ones during the same period, but this difference can only be seen in the initial period of vehicle use, rapidly decreasing with vehicle operation years. The share of vehicles with extreme mileage values recorded during the period under observation, presented in the paper in several ways, declines with the years of vehicle use. In spite of that, however, the percentage of vehicles with extreme mileage values is high in HVs group against IC.

“…Japan was the first country to introduce a hybrid electric vehicle commercially. In the year 2015, the penetration of the hybrid electric vehicle in the Japanese houses were 9.8%, reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication (Mitsutsugu, 2019). The Chinese government also showed interest in developing the electric vehicle, because of the rising pollution and because of which the Chinese government changed their policy (Ang et al, 2018).…”

The transport vehicles have been using the internal combustion engine for many decades. The internal combustion engine is used because of their high reliability. The transport sector plays a vital role in the country’s economy. It is estimated that about 90% of the transportation sector uses fossil fuels. With the increasing industrialization, there will be a shortage of fossil fuels. Every year there is an increase in the energy demand by 2%, stated by International Energy Agency Report. There would be 39% increase in the greenhouse gas emission by the year 2030 from fossil fuels. With the rising concern about climate change and the increasing amount of toxic emissions, manufacturers of the car are getting aware and are shifting towards less polluting vehicles or green vehicles. Biodiesel is also gaining interest and is being preferred because of its continued availability, emission characteristics showed that biodiesel have low CO emission. With addition of ethanol the emission of CO further decreases but NOx emission increases. NOx decreased with jatropha methyl ester & 50% turpentine oil. On the other hand use of electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle would also decrease the emission by 51% but would increase the load on power grid by 3% for every 30% penetration. Which would increase the emission/air pollution from the thermal power plant. Emission in the human body can cause illness, increase the death of can be hazardous to the health of humans. This paper gives a review of the emissions from biodiesel and electric vehicles and the health effects
