Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are powered wholly or partly by electricity rather than conventional internal combustion engines, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are playing an increasingly important role in the transition to low-carbon transport. As battery technology, charging infrastructure and renewable electricity continue to develop, electric vehicles have become a key component of corporate decarbonisation strategies and national climate policies.

SustainabilityOnline provides coverage of the latest electric vehicle developments, including EV technology, battery innovation, charging infrastructure, automotive sustainability, transport decarbonisation and evolving regulatory frameworks. We explore how businesses are electrifying vehicle fleets, investing in charging networks, reducing transport emissions and responding to changing consumer demand and sustainability legislation. We also examine developments in battery supply chains, critical minerals, renewable energy integration, circular economy initiatives and the role of electric mobility in achieving net zero targets.

EU legislation mandating the electrification of the vehicle fleets of large companies could deliver close to three fifths (57%) of the EV sales that carmakers need by 2030, new research by Transport & Environment (T&E) has found.
