What are the benefits and barriers to sustainable electric mobility?
Battery electric vehicles represent an emerging low-carbon source of mobility that could dramatically reduce air pollution emissions, create revenue, and accelerate the decarbonisation of transport. This presentation draws from the literature on vehicle-to-grid, mobility, transitions, sociotechnical systems, and electric power systems, along with original data on the array of challenges and benefits to vehicle-to-grid and electric vehicles. The examples in the presentation cut across technical integration of research, economic analyses, and sociopolitical challenges, based on novel mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative). The presentation ensures that readers from a variety of backgrounds will gain a more comprehensive understanding of vehicle-to-grid and its potential for wide-scale implementation in the transport and electric systems.
Speaker: Benjamin K. Sovacool, Professor of Earth and Environment, Boston University
Moderator: Winston Chow, Professor of Urban Climate, Singapore Management University, College of Integrative Studies
