Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest for energy independence and rising environmental concerns are key drivers in the growing popularity of electric vehicles or EVs - electric and plug-in hybrid cars. Studies indicate that for 90% of the Americans who use their cars to get to work every day, the daily commute distance is less than 50 km - or 30 mi - and, on the average, the commuter car remains parked about 22 h per day. The EVs have in common the batteries, which provide storage capability that can be effectively harnessed when the vehicles are integrated into the grid. The entire concept of using the EVs as a distributed energy resource - load and resource - is known as the vehicle-to-grid or V2G concept. Though I have more than two decades of rendezvous with energy and diversified energy sources to quench the thirst of humanity, my specific interest in electric vehicle started in 2014 when I joined Black & Veatch and got associated with prestigious project of Tesla as strategist and adopt the success model of US market for Asia.Tesla Motors manufactures the Tesla Model S, the all-electric car that won the Motor Trend 2013 Car of the Year award. While developing the car, Tesla launched a program to aggressively deploy high-power, fast-charging stations -- "Superchargers" -- along major travel corridors throughout the United States.Tesla awarded Black & Veatch a contract to design and construct pilot sites in the Supercharger network. The Tesla Supercharger U.S. build-out is the largest project to date for the Black & Veatch team. Services include engineering, site assessment, and permitting and construction services for Tesla's charging stations."It's one thing to build one Supercharger site, but it's a totally different thing to build 100 at a time, or have 40 or 50 in construction at any given time. Black & Veatch brought an ability to be able to expand rapidly, bring on the resources necessary and also manage the construction of a complex project like that - all concurrently." Kevin Kassekert, Director, Supercharger Deployment and Energy Efficiency, Tesla Motors, Inc.It was my absolute privilege to be part of the team of Black & Veatch, who is now a market leader in the design, construction and integration of complex electric vehicle (EV) and hydrogen/fuel cell vehicle (FCV) infrastructure. My journey started with a Big Bang when B&V Chairman Steve Edward pioneered the Chairman's Challenge for new and fresh ideas from offices across the global with the help of an online contest. Absolute delight was my feeling when my first idea on a strategic model of business capture ( I call it Shark Strategy) won the most voted idea of the challenge out of hundreds of ideas submitted by most of the top brains of the 10000 odd employees of the 100 year old firm. It was just the beginning as in the next Chairman's Challenge, I collaborated with others in Kansas HQ to put forth another idea on use of Drone for Industrial Application and Project Management & Monitoring of complex nature like EPC work of intercontinental pipelines or Electric Transmission Lines across the mountains or dense forest like Amazon basin. To my absolute surprise, our team won the top award of the chairman's challenge and each team members were gifted a real Drone costing not less than 15000 INR at that time, but unfortunately it could not be shipped to Mumbai for me as Drones for private applications were banned by government of India. My all other team members sent me pictures of drones awarded to them. Great Memories of Kansas City Baseball match cheering Royals after intensive strategy meetings on future of the company and American Supercharger Infrastructures ( Read Tesla, Volta and other projects).This book is my attempt to help generation next understand and support clean vehicle adoption, advance clean transportation and sustainability.

The reader will learn how to formulate, synchronize, manage and control corporate strategy with regards to business models, goal orientation, environmental fit and stakeholders’ requirements. The reader will learn how to apply state-of-the-art innovation frameworks and techniques. The electric vehicle market has captured worldwide consumer interest. This market segment was according to Kumar valued at $118.864.5million in 2017 and is expected to reach $567.299.8million by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%. Further claims that this rising interest rate is believed to be achieved because of an outperformance in regard to the conventional vehicle, since it provided higher fuel economy, low carbon emission and maintenance, convenience of charging at home, smoother drive and reduced sound from engine. This market segment is still in its growing phase, since it must convince people that it will work and is practical. Therefore, the market for all-electric vehicles is globally small, at roughly 1% of total sales, but Tesla has been doing its part to double it. In late December 2018 (Business Insider, 2018) stated that Tesla, Inc has created a micro-monopoly. Nowadays, according to DeBord,, one of the biggest challenges of Tesla is to maintain the electric vehicle (EV) market they have created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plug-in electric vehicles are coming. Major automakers plan to commercialize their first models soon, while Israel and Denmark have ambitious plans to electrify large portions of their vehicle fleets. No technology has greater potential to end the United States' crippling dependence on oil, which leaves the nation vulnerable to price shocks, supply disruptions, environmental degradation, and national security threats including terrorism. What does the future hold for this critical technology, and what should the U.S. government do to promote it? Hybrid vehicles now number more than one million on America's roads, and they are in high demand from consumers. The next major technological step is the plug-in electric vehicle. It combines an internal combustion engine and electric motor, just as hybrids do. But unlike their precursors, PEVs can be recharged from standard electric outlets, meaning the vehicles would no longer be dependent on oil. Widespread growth in the use of PEVs would dramatically reduce oil dependence, cut driving costs and reduce pollution from vehicles. National security would be enhanced, as reduced oil dependence decreases the leverage and resources of petroleum exporters. Brookings fellow David Sandalow heads up an authoritative team of experts including former government officials, private-sector analysts, academic experts, and nongovernmental advocates. Together they explain the current landscape for PEVs: the technology, the economics, and the implications for national security and the environment. They examine how the national interest could be served by federal promotion and investment in PEVs. For example, can tax or procurement policy advance the cause of PEVs? Should the public sector contribute to greater research and development? Should the government insist on PEVs to replenish its huge fleet of official vehicles? Plug-in electric vehicles are coming. But how soon, in what numbers, and to what effect? Feder

This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electric vehicle market has been gradually gaining prominence in the world due to the rise in pollution levels caused by traditional IC engine-based vehicles. The advantages of electric vehicles are multi-pronged in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. The running and maintenance cost are considerably less than traditional models. The harmful exhaust emissions are reduced, besides the greenhouse gas emissions, when the electric vehicle is supplied from a renewable energy source. However, apart from some Western nations, many developing and underdeveloped countries have yet to take up this initiative. This lack of enthusiasm has been primarily attributed to the capital investment required for charging infrastructure and the slow transition of energy generation from the fossil fuel to the renewable energy format. Currently, there are very few charging stations, and the construction of the same needs to be ramped up to supplement the growth of electric vehicles. Grid integration issues also crop up when the electric vehicle is used to either do supply addition to or draw power from the grid. These problems need to be fixed at all the levels to enhance the future of energy efficient transportation. Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation explores the growth and adoption of electric vehicles for the purpose of sustainable transportation and presents a critical analysis in terms of the economics, technology, and environmental perspectives of electric vehicles. The chapters cover the benefits and limitations of electric vehicles, techno-economic feasibility of the technologies being developed, and the impact this has on society. Specific points of discussion include electric vehicle architecture, wireless power transfer, battery management, and renewable resources. This book is of interest for individuals in the automotive sector and allied industries, policymakers, practitioners, engineers, technicians, researchers, academicians, and students looking for updated information on the technology, economics, policy, and environmental aspects of electric vehicles.

This book was released on 2013-04-14 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increase in air pollution and vehicular emissions has led to the development of the renewable energy-based generation and electrification of transportation. Further, the electrification shift faces an enormous challenge due to limited driving range, long charging time, and high initial cost of deployment. Firstly, there has been a discussion on renewable energy such as how wind power and solar power can be generated by wind turbines and photovoltaics, respectively, while these are intermittent in nature. The combination of these renewable energy resources with available power generation system will make electric vehicle (EV) charging sustainable and viable after the payback period. Recently, there has also been a significant discussion focused on various EV charging types and the level of power for charging to minimize the charging time. By focusing on both sustainable and renewable energy, as well as charging infrastructures and technologies, the future for EV can be explored. Developing Charging Infrastructure and Technologies for Electric Vehicles reviews and discusses the state of the art in electric vehicle charging technologies, their applications, economic, environmental, and social impact, and integration with renewable energy. This book captures the state of the art in electric vehicle charging infrastructure deployment, their applications, architectures, and relevant technologies. In addition, this book identifies potential research directions and technologies that facilitate insights on EV charging in various charging places such as smart home charging, parking EV charging, and charging stations. This book will be essential for power system architects, mechanics, electrical engineers, practitioners, developers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the problems and solutions to the state-of-the-art status of electric vehicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of energy policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. Energy systems are large and complex, so energy policy must be focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Policymakers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the energy policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to design these policies well. Designing Climate Solutions: A Policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy is the first such guide, bringing together the latest research and analysis around low carbon energy solutions. Written by Hal Harvey, CEO of the policy firm Energy Innovation, with Robbie Orvis and Jeffrey Rissman of Energy Innovation, Designing Climate Solutions is an accessible resource on lowering carbon emissions for policymakers, activists, philanthropists, and others in the climate and energy community. In Part I, the authors deliver a roadmap for understanding which countries, sectors, and sources produce the greatest amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and give readers the tools to select and design efficient policies for each of these sectors. In Part II, they break down each type of policy, from renewable portfolio standards to carbon pricing, offering key design principles and case studies where each policy has been implemented successfully. We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. Designing Climate Solutions gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.

Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal besteller and a USA Today Best Book of 2020 Named Energy Writer of the Year for The New Map by the American Energy Society “A master class on how the world works.” —NPR Pulitzer Prize-winning author and global energy expert, Daniel Yergin offers a revelatory new account of how energy revolutions, climate battles, and geopolitics are mapping our future The world is being shaken by the collision of energy, climate change, and the clashing power of nations in a time of global crisis. Out of this tumult is emerging a new map of energy and geopolitics. The “shale revolution” in oil and gas has transformed the American economy, ending the “era of shortage” but introducing a turbulent new era. Almost overnight, the United States has become the world's number one energy powerhouse. Yet concern about energy's role in climate change is challenging the global economy and way of life, accelerating a second energy revolution in the search for a low-carbon future. All of this has been made starker and more urgent by the coronavirus pandemic and the economic dark age that it has wrought. World politics is being upended, as a new cold war develops between the United States and China, and the rivalry grows more dangerous with Russia, which is pivoting east toward Beijing. Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping are converging both on energy and on challenging American leadership, as China projects its power and influence in all directions. The South China Sea, claimed by China and the world's most critical trade route, could become the arena where the United States and China directly collide. The map of the Middle East, which was laid down after World War I, is being challenged by jihadists, revolutionary Iran, ethnic and religious clashes, and restive populations. But the region has also been shocked by the two recent oil price collapses--and by the very question of oil's future in the rest of this century. A master storyteller and global energy expert, Daniel Yergin takes the reader on an utterly riveting and timely journey across the world's new map. He illuminates the great energy and geopolitical questions in an era of rising political turbulence and points to the profound challenges that lie ahead.
