The new car market for electric vehicles and the potential for fuel substitution

Alexander Kihm and Stefan Trommer

Energy Policy, 2014, vol. 73, issue C, 147-157

Abstract: Electric vehicles are expected to significantly reduce road transport emissions, given an increasingly renewable power generation. While technological issues are more and more being overcome, the economic viability and thus possible adoption is still constrained, mainly by higher prices than for conventional vehicles.
