“…Therefore in an extreme situation, range could be limited even more. Nevertheless, some studies point out that most daily vehicle mileage is significantly lower than EV ranges obtained in this and other results (Pearre et al, 2011).…”

This paper analyses transport energy consumption of conventional and electric vehicles in mountainous roads. A standard round trip in Andorra has been modelled in order to characterise vehicle dynamics in hilly regions. Two conventional diesel vehicles and their electric-equivalent models have been simulated and their performances have been compared. Six scenarios have been simulated to study the effects of factors such as orography, traffic congestion and driving style. The European fuel consumption and emissions test and Artemis urban driving cycles, representative of European driving cycles, have also been included in the comparative analysis. The results show that road grade has a major impact on fuel economy, although it affects consumption in different levels depending on the technology analysed. Electric vehicles are less affected by this factor as opposed to conventional vehicles, increasing the potential energy savings in a hypothetical electrification of the car fleet. However, electric vehicle range in mountainous terrains is lower compared to that estimated by manufacturers, a fact that could adversely affect a massive adoption of electric cars in the short term.

“…Several papers deal with PHEV-related subjects, including, but not limited to, range requirement analysis (Pearre et al, 2011;Franke and Krems, 2013), PHEV impacts on the electricity network (Sioshansi and Miller, 2011;Nurre et al, 2014;Arslan and Karaşan, 2013;Galus et al, 2010;Weiller, 2011;Axsen et al, 2011), battery capacity analysis (Albertus et al, 2008;Catenacci et al, 2013;Scrosati and Garche, 2010), environmental impacts (Stephan and Sullivan, 2008;Smith, 2010;Marshall et al, 2013), market analysis (Gardner et al, 2013;Khan and Kockelman, 2012;Axsen and Kurani, 2013;Eppstein et al, 2011) and location optimization of recharging infrastructure (He et al, 2013;Wang and Lin, 2009;MirHassani and Ebrazi, 2012). A summary of recent studies in the literature related to the economics of PHEVs is presented in Table 1.…”

We investigate the travel costs of CVs, HEVs and PHEVs for long-distance trips. We analyze the impacts of battery, driver and road network characteristics on the costs. We provide critical managerial insights to shape the investment decisions about PHEVs. Drivers' stopping intolerance may hamper the cost and emission benefits of PHEVs. Negative effect of intolerance on cost may be overcome by battery capacity expansion. a r t i c l e i n f o b s t r a c tIn a road network with refueling and fast charging stations, the minimum-cost driving path of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) depends on factors such as location and availability of refueling/fast charging stations, capacity and cost of PHEV batteries, and driver tolerance towards extra mileage or additional stopping. In this paper, our focus is long-distance trips of PHEVs. We analyze the impacts of battery characteristics, often-overlooked driver preferences and road network features on PHEV travel costs for long-distance trips and compare the results with hybrid electric and conventional vehicles. We investigate the significance of these factors and derive critical managerial insights for shaping the future investment decisions about PHEVs and their infrastructure. In particular, our findings suggest that with a certain level of deployment of fast charging stations, well established cost and emission benefits of PHEVs for the short range trips can be extended to long distance. Drivers' stopping intolerance may hamper these benefits; however, increasing battery capacity may help overcome the adverse effects of this intolerance.

“…Driving patterns and car usage have come to the attention of studies that are trying to evaluate how to dimension electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) (Gonder et al 2007;Pearre et al 2011). In these studies, the driving pattern and the range of the EVs are the main focus and driving point for assessing the feasibility of the vehicle.…”

Unbundling cars to daily use and infrequent use vehicles—the potential role of car sharing

Car sharing is seen as an alternative to car ownership; however, for many households, this option may be unthinkable. In this study, we explore the idea of combining car sharing and vehicle ownership in order to change car purchase behavior to improve the environmental performance of the fleet. We consider the personal vehicle as a bundle of attributes. We look at the distinction between Bdaily use^and Binfrequent useâ ttributes. BInfrequent use^features are those that are only needed occasionally, e.g., a larger trunk, all-wheel drive, seating for 7, and long vehicle range. If the vehicle attributes could be unbundled, the personal vehicle would include only those features needed on a daily basis, with car sharing providing the Binfrequent use^features. We qualitatively explore what the carsharing service would need to look like to cover the Binfrequent use^needs and analyze if the existing services can provide these needs. We base our analysis on literature and interviews with experts and representatives from car sharing and rental car companies in California and Sweden. We find that car sharing today does not cover the needs for unbundling the vehicle. There are not enough Binfrequent use^vehicles available in these services. However, new business models and the growth of peer-to-peer car sharing are already begun to widen the vehicle models available.
