Summary: This study compares the psychological and behavioral characteristics of electric vehicle (EV) owners in the United States and China, finding differences in motivation for purchase and satisfaction. Chinese owners prioritize reputation and social responsibility, while US owners emphasize technological innovation and driving pleasure. The study highlights the importance for EV manufacturers to consider cultural differences when targeting these two markets.

Summary: BEV adoption has a relatively low impact on GDP growth, but subsidies have a significant effect on GDP and BEV adoption due to their stimulus effect on household expenditures and vehicle-manufacturing-related sectors. Productivity shocks have a moderate impact on GDP and only affect BEV adoption in competitive markets. The environmental impact is more complex, as while BEV adoption leads to reduced tailpipe emissions, increased manufacturing activity can offset these savings with non-tailpipe emissions growth. Promoting BEV adoption through subsidies should be accompanied by green manufacturing and power generation initiatives to achieve desired emissions reductions.

Summary: While environmental concerns may not always boost EV sales, green consumers enhance the unit profitability of electric vehicles, influencing manufacturer decisions. Governments should regulate subsidy phase-out rates in markets with more environmentally conscious consumers to mitigate shifts in pricing strategies. This study emphasizes the importance of policy coordination and offers specific strategies for effective EV marketing in diverse customer segments.

Summary: The use of fossil fuel-based vehicles may be gradually replaced by electric vehicles in the future, and the trend indicates an increase in the number of users, especially of electric cars. Indonesia, with the world's largest nickel reserves, is in a good position to benefit from this trend as nickel is an essential raw material for electric vehicle batteries. This study examines the economic and environmental impacts of establishing electric vehicle production in Indonesia instead of exporting raw materials, finding that it can increase productivity and job creation while having a relatively small impact on the environment.

Summary: This research presents a two-stage optimization strategy for the microgrid (MG) scheduling problem considering the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into buildings. The first stage establishes a model for coordinated charging/discharging of EVs, and dynamically divides the peak and valley hours to minimize the peak-to-valley difference (PVD) of the load curve. In the second stage, the daily optimal scheduling of MG generators is calculated efficiently considering the tradeoff between generation cost and pollutant emission. The proposed method is validated using two cases from a residential MG system, showing the relief of power supply pressure and cost saving achieved through coordinated vehicle-to-grid (V2G) service and power planning of MG components.

Summary: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) services use idle EV batteries for energy storage, but face issues like inconvenience and degradation. Shared autonomous electric vehicle (SAEV) fleets could be a solution, with V2G reducing operating costs by up to 19.6% and generating an average revenue of $2,272 per vehicle annually while saving 66.5 tons of GHG emissions per vehicle per year.

Summary: The coupled photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS) is an important approach for promoting low-carbon energy use, but the integrated charging stations are underdeveloped due to the lack of evaluation on their economic and environmental benefits. This study analyzes the economic and environmental benefits of integrated charging stations developed at different scales, based on electricity load and data from electric vehicle charging stations in Beijing. The results show that the benefits vary significantly depending on the location (building type) and scale of the charging stations.
