How battery electric vehicles can contribute to sustainable urban logistics: A real-world application in Lisbon, Portugal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the suitability of battery electric vehicles (BEV) in urban logistics in Lisbon, based on a real-world application, and demonstrate that BEV allows maintaining the same operation patterns, regarding the number of kilometers travelled per day (60 km), recharging time (6h), and vehicle dynamics (average speed of 16 km/h for ICEV and 19 km /h for BEV).

Which Factors Can Protect Against Range Stress in Everyday Usage of Battery Electric Vehicles? Toward Enhancing Sustainability of Electric Mobility Systems:
TL;DR: Trustworthiness should be employed as a key benchmark variable in the design of range estimation systems, and assistance systems should target increasing drivers’ adaptive capacity to cope with critical range situations to enhance sustainability of electric mobility systems.
Remanufacturing, Repurposing, and Recycling of Post-Vehicle-Application Lithium-Ion Batteries
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost benefit analysis shows that remanufacturing is profitable if the development cost is no more than $83/kWh to $114/kW, depending on research and development expenses.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Giving Green to Get Green: Incentives and Consumer Adoption of Hybrid Vehicle Technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative efficacy of state sales tax waivers, income tax credits and non-tax incentives for hybrid-electric vehicle adoption in the United States has been studied and shown that the type of tax incentive offered is as important as the value of the tax incentive.

Electric vehicles: How much range is required for a day’s driving?
TL;DR: In this article, a full year of high-resolution driving data from 484 instrumented gasoline vehicles in the US is used to analyze daily driving patterns, and from those infer the range requirements of electric vehicles (EVs).
