Abstract

The electrification of road transport is accelerating globally, propelled by a mix of environmental concerns, legislative mandates, and business opportunities. Relying to a larger extent on electricity in the transportation sector provides new opportunities to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and local air pollution by improving energy efficiency and employing renewable energy. As part of this development, leading vehicle manufacturers are currently making a substantial effort to provide hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs), and pure EVs to the market.
