Electric cars: technical characteristics and environmental impacts
Background: Electric vehicles have been identified as being a key technology in reducing future emissions and energy consumption in the mobility sector. The focus of this article is to review and assess the energy efficiency and the environmental impact of battery electric cars (BEV), which is the only technical alternative on the market available today to vehicles with internal combustion engi...

متن کاملTarget and Technical Efficiency in DEA – Controlling for Environmental Characteristics
In this paper we propose a target efficiency DEA model that allows for the inclusion of environmental variables in a one stage model while maintaining a high degree of discrimination power. The model estimates the impact of managerial and environmental factors on efficiency simultaneously. A decomposition of the overall technical efficiency into two components, target efficiency and environment...
متن کاملAutonomous cars: Breakthrough for electric vehicles
Sometimes the breakthrough for a new technology does not materialize in one of those fields which receive most attention and where everybody expects the solution. When the British needed a practical method for determining a ship's longitude in the 18 century, they spent many decades gazing at the stars, compiling lunar tables and searching for astronomic methods for determining longitude. But t...
متن کاملEMC Issues in Cars with Electric Drives
From the EMC point of view, the integration of electric drive systems into today’s cars represents a substantial challenge. The electric drive system is a new component consisting of a high-voltage power source, a frequency converter, an electric motor and shielded or unshielded high-power cables. Treating this new electric drive system or its components as a conventional automotive component i...
