“…This supports in amortizing the purchase expense, that is still higher for EVs with respect to ICE vehicles. However, it is worth pointing out that the operating costs of owning an electric vehicle can be lower than those connected to other types of vehicle [3].…”

“…Roughly, for a typical consumer, the ownership of a vehicle ranges from 10 to 15 years [2], [3]: during this period, the vehicle is expected to be healthy, safe and reliable. As a matter of fact, in the United States vehicle and powertrain manufacturers must grant a 10 years warranty, which is an apparent indication of the minimum life expectation of a generic light-duty vehicle.…”

“…Things changed a lot with respect to the recent past: Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) are getting difficult to design to fulfill pressing limitations from the particulates and carbon dioxide points of view. In the meantime, different car makers put many EV models on the market, dispelling the myth that mobility by electric energy is unfashionable [1]- [3].…”

Abstract-Fully electric vehicles are rapidly gaining user and market interest worldwide, due to their zero direct emissions, appealing driving experience and fashionable perception. Unfortunately, cost, range and reliability have not reached the desired targets yet. Since consumers are prone to spend money to have a more reliable system, Design-for-Reliability will be a useful tool for the Design of tomorrow's EVs, justifying part of the increased cost for these products. In this work, a vertical model-based approach to design-for-Reliability of power converters for EVs is presented, paying special attention to thermally-induced aging. The design starts from various driving cycles, properly assembled to describe the vehicle mission, then load profiles for the converters are found and the resulting thermal stress is quantified. The converter lifetime can be estimated, taking into account also parameter dispersion, and requirements for the active thermal control of the parts modeled achieved, thus giving practical information to the system designers.

“…Specifically in this case, it is suggested that autonomous EVs produce dramatically fewer emissions than gasoline AVs (Gawron et al, 2018) and consume fewer energy (Vahidi and Sciarretta, 2018). Third, EVs are technically and economically beneficial rather for longer daily travel distances experienced by shared fleets due to their relatively low maintenance needs (Logtenberg et al, 2018;Palmer et al, 2018;Weldon et al, 2018). However, despite the aforementioned advantages, configuration of a shared service based on EVs meets some operational concerns.…”

A B S T R A C TShared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are the next major evolution in urban mobility. This technology has attracted much interest of car manufacturers aiming at playing a role as transportation network companies (TNCs) in order to gain benefits per kilometer and per ride. The majority of future SAVs will most probably be electric. It is therefore important to understand how limited vehicle range and the configuration of charging infrastructure will affect the performance of shared autonomous electric vehicle (SAEV) services. We aim to explore the impacts of charging station placement, charging type (rapid charging, battery swapping) as well as vehicle range onto service efficiency and customer experience in terms of service availability and response time. We perform an agent-based simulation of SAEVs across the Rouen Normandie metropolitan area in France. The simulation process features impact assessment by considering dynamic demand responsive to the network and traffic.Research results suggest that the performance of SAEVs is strongly correlated to the charging infrastructure. Importantly, faster charging infrastructure and optimized placement of charging locations in order to minimize distances between demand hubs and charging stations result in a higher performance. Further analysis indicates the importance of dispersing charging stations across the service area and how this affects service effectiveness. The results also underline that SAEV battery capacity has to be carefully selected to avoid the overlaps between demand and charging peak times. Finally, the simulation results show that by providing battery swapping infrastructure the performance indicators of SAEV service are significantly improved.

“…However, EV and FC prices are still several times the price of commercial gasoline for the same power capacity (Messagie et al, 2013). EV implementation also requires a huge investment to build electricity infrastructure for accessible charging, which competes with electricity needs for other sectors (Karmaker et al, 2018;Weldon et al, 2018). The old vehicle retirement program then replaces it with new technologies.…”

The implementation of the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard caused restlessness among public fleet operators and the Department of Transportation of Magelang City. Therefore, this article presents the prediction of economic value and environmental benefits of public fleet in Magelang that will be converted from gasoline to LPG. Investment feasibility parameters, such as Break Event Point (BEP), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period (PBP) are presented through three financing scenarios compared with the current gasoline price at the fuel station, RON 88 and RON 90. Simulation results indicate that investment is feasible with the government providing fiscal incentives through the procurement of converter kits. The wages of the public fleet crew under Minimum Wage City will rise by 30 % and 70 % to switch from gasoline RON 88 and gasoline RON 90, respectively. Meanwhile, environmental benefits are also expected to improve, with CO 2 emission reduction of 320.46 tons/year or about 11 % of gasoline usage. These two benefits (economics and environmental) are expected to support the clean city program in Magelang City, Indonesia.
