Electric vehicles powered by renewable energy: Briefing note for climate parliament

This briefing note focuses on how Electric vehicles (EVs) are making increasing headway in terms of market deployment.

Abstract

This briefing note focuses on how Electric vehicles (EVs) are making increasing headway in terms of market deployment. In the beginning of the 2010s, the first commercially available passenger car EVs were sold, and today all 20 of the world’s top 20 automakers have electric models available. However, this commercialisation of EVs is not limited to passenger cars, but now includes such modes as ferries and small airplanes, but in terms of numbers, electric two- and three-wheelers as well as electric buses are by far the biggest numbers, share, and displacers of oil and bad air pollution worldwide.
