Comprehensive modeling study finds electric drive vehicle deployment has little observed effect on US system-wide emissions

Green Car Congress

The results of a new, comprehensive modeling study characterizing light-duty electric drive vehicle (EDV) deployment in the US over 108 discrete scenarios do not demonstrate a clear and consistent trend toward lower system-wide emissions of CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x as EDV deployment increases. The CO 2 cap results in marginal CO 2 prices of 37?125

BNEF forecasts EVs to be 35% of global new car sales by 2040; cost of ownership below conventional-fuel vehicles by 2025

Green Car Congress

A new study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) forecasts that sales of electric vehicles will hit 41 million by 2040, representing 35% of new light duty vehicle sales worldwide. We expect EV battery costs to be well below $120 per kWh by 2030, and to fall further after that as new chemistries come in. Although some 1.3

Lux Research: Cost of replacing a barrel of produced oil up 350% in 13 years

Green Car Congress

Upstream spending is back to pre-2008 levels as producers, excluding NOCs (national oil companies) and OPEC organizations, are expected to spend close to $270 billion in 2013. The blossoming tight oil sector in the US has reignited talks of energy independence, but growing investment in offshore drilling is opening foreign reserves.

Are Electric Vehicles Good or Bad for the Economy?

Clean Fleet Report

Individuals who can afford the initial cost of an EV substantially reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying an average of $2,200 annually in fuel and maintenance savings. Furthermore, a study by MIT found that charging stations boosted annual spending at nearby businesses. Time will tell whether this model holds true.

Study finds that dry-feed gasification for coal-to-liquids is more efficient, lower-emitting and cheaper than slurry-feed; CCS cost-effective for reduction of CO2

Green Car Congress

Although co-production plants are much more costly than liquids-only configurations in terms of capital cost, Hari Mantripragadaa1 and Edward Rubin found, because of the high electricity revenues the cost of liquid product is lower than that of the liquids-only case, at market prices of electricity.
