Overview & General Trends
Climate change is a serious matter. In Europe alone, the automotive industry is responsible for 27% of the emissions that cause climate change. But how 'green' are electric vehicles? What is, for instance, the environmental impact of the production of batteries that are used for electric vehicles? Electric vehicles may not have exhaust pipes, but to produce electric vehicles, we need refinery plants, raw materials, components, assembly and distribution. Interested in specific subjects? >>

Electric Vehicle Outlook
An annual analysis of the impact of EV adoption on automotive and energy markets. The outlook combines the expertise of the global Advanced Transport Team of Bloomberg and draws on research and data the agency published over the last year.
Trends in electric vehicle design
What did we learn from a teardown and benchmarking of ten EV models? Regulatory pressures on internal combustion engines (ICEs), combined with technological improvements in electric powertrains and batteries, are driving a surge of demand for EVs. With EVs becoming mass-market products, it’s time for a detailed understanding of technology trends.

Benchmark 2017: from Cost reduction to a professional market
NKL, the independent knowledge platform for EV charging infrastructure, presents the results of the 2017 costing benchmark study. The cost of public EV charging infrastructure is continuing to decline by approximately 35% since 2013. Focus will shift from cost reduction to market professionalisation. In this benchmark, NKL introduces the public EV charging market maturity model.
