We combine a theoretical discrete-choice model of vehicle purchases, an econometric
analysis of electricity emissions, and the AP2 air pollution model to estimate the geographic …

Electric vehicles offer the promise of reduced environmental externalities relative to their
gasoline counterparts. We combine a theoretical discrete-choice model of new vehicle …

We examine distributional effects of changes in local air pollution from driving electric
vehicles in the United States. An econometric model estimates power plant emissions and …

The emissions reductions from the adoption of a new transportation technology depend on
the emissions from the new technology relative to those from the displaced technology. We …

We examine the private and public economics of electric vehicles (EVs) and discuss when
market forces can be expected to produce the optimal path of EV adoption. Privately …

The prospect for electric vehicles as a climate change solution hinges on their ability to
reduce gasoline consumption. But this depends on how many miles electric vehicles are …

E-mobility and diffusion of electric vehicles have become a major policy issue in many
countries. For example, the German federal government pursues the strategy of achieving …

Electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to be a critical technology for mitigating climate change and
improving urban air quality. To deliver environmental benefits, however, EVs must be …

In many countries, the revenue from gasoline taxes is used to fund highways and other
transportation infrastructure. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, this …

In this article, I review the academic literature on the economics of plug-in electric vehicles
(PEVs), with a focus on PEV policy, benefits, and equity. PEVs are one of the most promising …
