“…Urbanization rate (Shafiei et al 2018) was also found to be more important than subsidies, while the KfW study for Germany found strong relations between a high household income and living in houses and in rural regions (KfW 2021). Based on an EU-wide survey analysis, Gezelius and Mortazavi (2022) concluded that there is a significantly positive correlation between having solar panels and purchasing BEVs due to the opportunity for charging at lower costs. Findings of the presented study substantiate these findings, while a moderate value of the determination coefficient (R 2 = 0.452 for the total sample and R 2 = 0.579 for the reduced sample) indicates that a higher difference in electricity price over petrol, combined with a higher share of the population living in suburban houses (that may indicate the opportunity to more easily charge EVs at home), is a strong impetus for buying BEVs.…”

The main aim of the study was to analyse the impact of fiscal incentives on the share of electric passenger cars in total sales in 31 European countries in 2021 and 2022. Research methods included an assessment of the active fiscal incentives and passive financial gain on fuel of owning electric over petrol-powered vehicles, calculating the ratio of these variables to the net savings in emissions, and conducting regression analysis of the impact of these two variables, as well as indicators of national wealth and the distribution of population by urbanization, on the share of electric vehicles in total sales. The most important finding of the research is that, in the countries under review, incentives are not well designed. For a saving of 1 ton of CO2 for business-owned plug-in hybrid electric sports utility vehicles, tax incentives stood at EUR 3400, as compared to only EUR 106 for small battery powered electric vehicles, with very high differences between countries. Applied panel data regressions with random effects indicated that active tax incentives had a rather low impact on the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in total passenger car sales in 31 European countries in 2021 and 2022, while the difference in electricity price over petrol price combined with the share of the population living in houses in towns and suburbs may be a rather strong stimulus for buying BEVs (R2 = 0.452 for the total sample and R2 = 0.579 for the reduced sample). However, national wealth between countries, measured by relative final consumption expenditure per capita, had the highest impact on the share of battery electric vehicles in total sales (R2 = 0.634). The study suggests that fiscal incentives for electricity powered vehicles in Europe were too large, and neither well designed nor directed towards less wealthy households.

“…Using a similar approach, Gezelius and Mortazavi 36 examined household data from ten European countries to analyse a potential connection between PV and EV adoption while controlling for endogeneity between both decisions. Their findings showed a household's likelihood of owning an EV increased by 30% if it also had solar panels.…”

Electric vehicles (EVs) and solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) are two technologies that are gaining popularity in households as a means of reducing carbon emissions and improving energy security. However, little is known about the characteristics of households that adopt these technologies jointly. This study investigates the adoption patterns of electric vehicles and solar photovoltaics in Australia. We explain the likelihood of consumers belonging to four distinct groups (those who adopt both PVs and EVs, those who only adopt EVs, those who only adopt PVs, and those who adopt none) based on demographic and attitudinal factors. Using survey data from a representative sample of 2219 Australian heads of households, we found that dwelling ownership, ownership of a home energy management system, gender, and household size were significant predictors of the joint adoption of EVs and PVs. While both pro-environmental and pro-technology attitudes demonstrated a significant role in shaping PV-EV co-adoption patterns, the latter has a much stronger effect than the former. Based on the results, we identified that actions are needed in three key areas to encourage co-adoption: reducing technology adoption constraints associated with living arrangements (such as dwelling type and ownership), providing bundled financial incentives for both technologies, and fostering technology awareness and perceived usefulness among consumers.

“…To find this effective wind speed, a thorough computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is carried out to find out (Veffective). ANSYS Fluid is used for the CFD analysis, and the computation is run six times, each time for a different wind speed (5,10,15,20,25,30) mph. The results are shown below.…”

“…Finally, a study by Gezelius and Mortazavi [20] revealed a positive correlation between households with solar panels and the likelihood of owning a battery electric vehicle (BEV). This supports the idea that domestic solar charging could boost BEV adoption, contributing to a greener future.…”

The urgency for a shift towards cleaner and more efficient energy alternatives for power generation is underscored by the escalating demand for energy and the detrimental environmental impacts of conventional fossil fuels. In the case of automotive power, electric vehicles are being adopted in many applications, however, challenges remain such as extended charging periods and limited ranges between charges. Therefore, this research study conducts a techno-economic analysis of renewable energy technologies (including solar modules, wind turbines and piezoelectric materials) to augment the efficiency and sustainability of electric buses. The study examines the scope for these technologies to be adopted on double-decker electric buses in London in the United Kingdom. The solar modules are placed on the rooftop and sides of the bus generating 15.9 kWh/day and the wind turbine in the front bumper of the bus generates 8.3 kWh/day. However, the piezoelectric material generated only 22.6 Wh/day, rendering it an impractical inclusion in further analysis. Therefore, both the solar modules and wind turbines combined generate 24.2 kWh/day, which can increase the driving range by 16.3 km per day and this results in savings of 19.36 minutes for charging at the stations. Investing in such projects would have a positive return as the internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) are 2.8% and £11,175 respectively. The annual revenue would be £6,712, and the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction would be two metric tons annually. Electricity exported to the grid, the electricity export rate, and the initial investment are identified as key factors influencing power outage in a sensitivity analysis. In conclusion, this numerical modelling study paves the way for experimental validation towards implementation of renewable energy technologies on electric bus fleets.
