This paper considers welfare and distributional effects of US electric vehicle subsidies
accounting for interactions with other climate policies. I compare subsidy scenarios using a …

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 …

To overcome adoption barriers and promote battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as an energy
efficient consumer transportation option, a number of states offer subsidies to consumers for …

Promoting plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) adoption through subsidies represents a commonly
used policy lever for decarbonizing the light-duty vehicle sector. However, it is unclear how …

This paper studies the environmental performance of electric vehicle subsidy programs in
Canada. I leverage changes in the provincial-level subsidies to study their short-run impact …

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

Despite the prevalence of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) subsidies, research on improving
their cost-effectiveness and impact remains limited. To assess the scope for improving their …

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 …

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 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 …
