This study explores how has EV adoption increased over the past years and predicts how will the EV market continue to expand and penetrate in the future years using a case study with regional granular travel survey data.

This report presents a detailed analysis of vehicle manufacturing costs and market-level TCO accounting for technology uncertainties, behavioral heterogeneity, and key decision parameters of automakers. Using the estimates of the vehicle manufacturing costs, the cost of electrification of California’s LDV fleet is estimated to achieve the state’s net-zero emission goal by 2045.

This policy brief summarizes findings from recent research estimated PEVs’ total cost of ownership for the period of 2020–2030, their cost-competitiveness with conventional vehicles, and consequently the cost of electrification of California’s fleet of more than 30 million light-duty vehicles.

This data from the Cost of Plug-In EV Ownership project was collected from academic research, industry technical reports, and vehicle technology data maintained by the EPA and the Alternative Fuel Data Center. The household-level data used for market segmentation is obtained from the 2019 California Vehicle Survey hosted by NREL.

This study follows a deterministic modeling approach to project two scenarios of FCEV adoption and the resulting hydrogen demand (low and high) up to 2050 in California, using a transportation transition model. The study then estimates the number of hydrogen production and refueling facilities required to meet demand.

This study projected the introduction of battery-electric and fuel cell technologies into the medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicle markets and identified which markets will be most suitable for each of technologies and the factors which will be most critical to their successful introduction.
