“…The diffusion of EVs into the mainstream vehicle fleet is regarded as a primary means through which the environmental sustainability of the United Kingdom's (UK) transport system will be improved (DfT, 2009;Schwanen et al 2011;OLEV, 2013). This diffusion has been further clarified through an appreciation of how the transport system may transition onto a low carbon trajectory (Geels, 2012;Whitmarsh, 2012;Epprecht et al 2014) and what that trajectory may involve for the passenger vehicle market (Struben and Sterman, 2008;van Bree et al 2010;Offer et al 2011;Köhler et al 2013, Steinhilber et al 2013). …”

Data has been sourced through the application of a self-completion household questionnaire distributed over two cities in the United Kingdom (UK). A two stage cluster analysis methodology has been followed to identify market segments in a dataset of UK drivers. Five unique segments have been identified in the analysis and are characterised by their preferences for EVs, socio-economic characteristics, current car details, and socio-psychological profiles. These segments hold a range of different EV preference levels, from those who appear unwilling to adopt an EV to those which are clearly attracted to EVs. Moreover, the features of these segments tend to suggest that segments might be attracted to or repelled from EVs for different reasons. These results demonstrate that a significant degree of consumer stratification is present in the emerging market for EVs, with the possible implications being that policy interventions at the market, as opposed to segment, level may prove ineffective due to their inability to cater for the nuances of important segments.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The catalytic activity of the cathode is an important issue to address in order to improve the performance of PEFCs. Many researchers have focused on the development of new Pt alloy catalysts and have paid attention to the control of particle size and Pt-Pt particle distance.…”

The reduction of Pt loading in cathode catalysts is an important subject for developing polymer electrolyte fuel cells. In order to solve this problem without sacrificing performance, we prepared a uniform catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) by an electrospray (ES) method with a low Pt loading, 0.05 mg Pt cm −2 , which is one-tenth of the typical cathode Pt loading. The ES process has several advantages for the fabrication of thin catalyst layers (CLs), such as smaller droplets and accurate position control, compared with the pulse-swirl-spray (PSS) method. Highly uniform CLs were evaluated by use of a standard evaluation cell (area 29.2 cm 2 ). The ES method makes it possible to control precisely the coating area and reduce the losses of the catalyst ink. CLs cross sections prepared by focused ion beam milling indicated that the total occupation fraction of the pores in the CLs prepared by the ES method was about twice as large as that for the PSS method. The ES method improved the ionomer coverage, led to increased electrochemically active surface area, and constructed more porous CLs. The highly porous CLs prepared by the ES method contributed to the improvement of the cell performance.

“…Indeed EV need further technology development, notably in the field of batteries [71][72][73][74], but the potential goal to be reached [75,76] deserves a real first-class attention, particularly for corporations either in the side of car manufacturers or in the side of energy goods suppliers.…”

Emerging energy technologies and market evolution of some energy products, particularly natural gas, can converge to produce a new global scenario closer to the objectives of Sustainable Development, with a smooth transition that would avoid social and economic upheavals and could open a new cycle of growth and wealth. The first steps of unconventional gas production have induced stabilization in the gas spot price that should be continued to guarantee stable prices in the long term. Another line of development that should start a second phase of consolidation and cost reduction is the field of Renewable Energies. Besides research and technology advancements, a new financial deal could substitute for subsidies and feed-in tariffs. Last but not least, electric vehicles and other emerging technologies from the demand side will also have a main role in this quest to re-structure the Energy sector, where a new hierarchy of energy goods and energy applications will appear, and a better integral use of energy will take place. A main consequence of that will be a significant reduction of CO 2 emissions, and a cheaper cost of energy, although fiscal policies could swallow this advantage. In this transition, which would likely last thirty years or so, energy corporations will have to face challenges and opportunities to consolidate their working and value-adding status.
