“…For electric buses powered by the national electricity grid, the WTW concept comprises the following steps: oil well, transport, distribution, production of electrical energy (power generation), transport and distribution of electricity (power transmission and distribution), charging the battery, powering the engine, power delivery system, and energy consumption at wheels ( Fig. 10) [6,30,[37][38][39].…”

“…The negative impact on the environment in large urban agglomerations due to increased numbers of vehicles with classical propulsion systems is highlighted by European energy and environmental policies. Urban traffic is estimated to generate up to 40% of CO 2 emissions and up to 70% of other pollutant emissions [2,6]. Around the world, approximately 3.7 million people in a billion die prematurely annually due to atmospheric pollution [7].…”

“…For example, if the CO2 reduction rate of the EV is 0%, the CO2 emissions of the EV and non-EV are the same. In this case, the CO 2 emissions of EVs are based on well-to-wheel and are affected by the national electricity generation mix (Woo, Choi, & Ahn, 2017). Figure 1 shows the market share of EVs in the two scenarios.…”

Is the environment‐friendly factor attractive to customers when purchasing electric vehicles? Evidence from South Korea

et al. 2020

In a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, several countries worldwide are implementing policies to promote electric vehicles (EVs). However, contrary to expectations, the diffusion speed of EVs has been rather slow in South Korea. This study analyzes consumer preferences for the technological and environmental attributes of EVs and derives policy and environmental implications to promote market diffusion of EVs in South Korea. We conduct a choice‐based conjoint survey of 1,008 consumers in South Korea and estimate the consumer utility function using a mixed logit model considering consumer heterogeneity. Based on the consumer utility function, we analyze consumers' willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for EV attributes such as driving range, charging method, charging time, autonomous driving function, carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction rate, and purchase price. The results indicate that the current low acceptance of EVs is due to their relatively high price and lack of a battery charging technology that satisfies consumers' expectations of the charging method and time. One interesting finding is that Korean consumers have a relatively higher WTP for the CO2 reduction rate of EVs than consumers in other countries; however, they do not consider CO2 reduction over other technological attributes when choosing EVs. This implies that the rate of CO2 reduction of EVs is not an important factor for South Korean consumers when buying EVs. We also calculate the effect of CO2 reduction with the market penetration of EVs and find that CO2 reduction through the diffusion of EVs depends on the country's electricity generation mix.

“…Solar/battery electric vehicles provide improved transmission efficiency and cause quite less air, land and water pollution [10]. Solar electric vehicles (SEVs) have the exclusive potential to lessen the greenhouse gas emissions of the conservative vehicles [10][11][12][13]. Central government authorities have initiated various projects and research activities to improve the quality of the electric vehicle [14].…”

Modelling and analysis of gradient effect on the dynamic performance of three-wheeled vehicle system using Simscape

In India, three-wheeled electric vehicles are one of the important modes of public transport in congested areas. The gradient is an important factor that affects the dynamic performance of the vehicle. The proposed work presents an extensive analysis of the gradient effects on the dynamic performance of a three-wheeled solar electric vehicle. Firstly, we have designed the physical vehicle model of three-wheeled using Simscape ® environment tool. The generated torque from "ideal torque source" block is transferred to the input drive shaft of the "differential" mechanism. The output drive shafts of "sun gears" or "differential" block are connected to the rear left as well as to the right wheels respectively. The "ideal translational motion sensor" subsystem block measures the speed and distance of the vehicle. Next, to examine the gradient effects and accuracy of the Simscape model, we have designed the longitudinal vehicle model of a threewheeled electric vehicle. Undertaken a comparative analysis of the Simscape ® models' results from the longitudinal vehicle model for three different road gradient condition having a slope of zero degrees (0°), six degrees (6°) and twelve degrees (12°) respectively.
