• Abstract:
  Transportation is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States (US) among major economic sectors. That is due to the widespread reliance on petroleum-based vehicles that result in direct emissions. However, the U.S. transportation sector is undergoing a transition to zero-emissions vehicles with electric vehicles having the most promise of wide adoption. That is partly a result of financial and other incentives introduced by policymakers to nurture the growth of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV). There are also other trends such as the declining costs, PEV technology maturity, decarbonization of the electricity grid and increased charging opportunities that fuel this trend. By 2035 and beyond we can expect our passenger mobility and logistics services dependent on electric vehicles. In 2018 California established a target of five million zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030 and 250,000 public EV charging stations to be installed. In 2020 California established a goal for all in-State sale of passenger vehicles to be ZEVs by 2035. Studies have suggested that PEVs are being adopted not only by high income families, but they continue to be adopted by other income groups across various socio-demographic groups. Overall PEVs are seeing a growth in adoption fueling the need for other support services such as charging infrastructure.
