Electric Vehicles- chargeImagine a vehicle with no need for gas. You could just fill up your fuel at home. The exception for “fuel,” of course, includes your home’s electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. Some advantages make electric automobiles a better choice. However, current technologies in 2015 on roads can present some difficulties, and thus, create classic vehicles as the main option. Hybrids that rely on both gasoline and electricity may prove a good decision point to factor.
Electric vehicles and electric utilities – a clear opportunity with many shapesCarlo Stella
While several stakeholders are supportive of the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, we have looked specifically at electric utilities to understand the opportunities that such a change in the transportation landscape can generate, and define the key questions to be addressed in order to embrace them. We have identified four business models – by no means evolutionary – that can be looked at independently, and eventually combined to fit the company’s strategy and the specific market conditions (e.g., regulation, competition, ecosystem, customer readiness). We strongly believe electric utilities are ideally positioned to leverage the opportunities offered by the adoption of electric vehicles on a mass-market scale, but they need to act fast, as many other players are addressing the same opportunity

E-mobility trends in India: Challenges and OpportunitiesIET India
India is the 4th largest automotive industry in the world and is rapidly adopting connectivity and other advanced technologies in the mobility segment. The recent approval from the Government of India for the second phase of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric vehicles (FAME 2) is a clear signal of the country’s positive intent in striding towards green mobility.
IET’s Future of Mobility and Transport Panel has brought together experts from the e-mobility industry in India to discuss the technological trends in the e-mobility space and ways of optimising e-mobility use for everyday life. This document gives a brief summary of the discussions that shed light on the progress of e-mobility in India, pressing challenges that lie ahead and the way forward for e-mobility in the country. Experts also discussed the technology driven trends faced by the Indian market and how these will impact mobility behaviour in India.

#OERde14 Keynote: "Generation Open: An International Look at the Coming Revol...Nicole Allen
We live at a time of transition between the disconnected, analog past to the wired, digital future. Nowhere is the tension between these two worlds more obvious than in education, where schools and universities hold onto centuries-old paradigms at the same time they seek to harness today’s technology. Many of these paradigms — for example, the traditional lecture-style course that we often see replicated in MOOCs — create unnecessary limitations and barriers that hold back the transformational power of technology in education. Openness is the key to overcoming these barriers and unleashing all that is possible in the digital environment. Teachers, learners, researchers, and policymakers around the world are awakening to this potential, creating a new generation that will define the future of education. I’m part of Generation Open, are you?
#OAweek14 @ UNCG: OER and Solving the Textbook Cost Crisis Nicole Allen
57
views
The cost of college textbooks has grown to a point that virtually every campus is now seeking solutions. While many colleges and universities like UNCG have successfully reduced costs through stop-gap measures such as rental programs and textbook reserves, the greatest potential for permanently solving the problem lies in Open Educational Resources (OERs), which are academic materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, adapt, and share. Institutions across the country have begun to leverage OERs to reduce textbook costs, expand access to information, and enable faculty to better tailor materials to their courses. This talk will provide an overview of the OER movement to date, including how to identify OERs, how they are created, and research showing the impact on students. It will also help frame the opportunity for UNCG to advance OER right on campus.
Throughout this book, we have explored the many facets of the EV industry, from the rise of
electric vehicles to the latest advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure.
We have also examined the challenges facing the industry, including consumer perception
and adoption hurdles, regulatory roadblocks, and supply chain complexities.
Despite these challenges, the EV industry is poised for growth and impact, with the potential
to create a more sustainable and equitable transportation system. This will require
collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to addressing the challenges that lie ahead.
We hope that this book has provided a valuable resource for industry professionals,
policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of transportation. We also hope that it has
inspired you to join the EV revolution and contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and
equitable transportation system.
I compiled this presentation recently to summarize key aspects around electric cars from a layman perspective. The study touches upon interplay between industry and state in key markets with some enhanced focus on Europe

BCO221 GLOBAL ECONOMICS – Task brief & rubrics
Task brief
Description:
• Individual task.
• First, answer the following two questions (60%) Then, write a report (40%).
Questions (60%)
Question 1 (30%). Explain the Bretton Woods system. You should refer to:
o As a result of the Bretton Woods system, what happened with the exchange rates?
Was it fixed? Was it floating? (10p)
o Why did the Bretton Woods system collapse? (10p)
o Would be such a system feasible nowadays?
Question 2 (30%). With reference to real world examples assess the pros and cons of different
exchange rate systems. In your answer you should refer to:
o Floating exchange rate regimes – you should in particular consider whether floating
currencies are condusive to promoting international trade.
o Pegged exchange rate regimes and pegged with bands exchange rate regimes – you
should consider the possibility of currency crises in relation to the pegged with bands
currency regimes and should consider an actual currency crisis such as the 1992 Black
Wednesday Crisis for the pound and its membership of the ERM.
o Single currencies – in relation to single currencies you should consider the pros and
cons of the Euro, you should bring in the Optimal Currency Area argument, and you
should in particular consider whether a nation like Greece in the aftermath of the
2008 Financial Crisis suffered more than it would have if it had not been a part of the
Eurozone (due to its inability to devalue its currency or implement a looser monetary
policy) and you should also consider whether the ECB has reponsed adequately to the
economic challenges of the current coronavirus crisis (i.e. should the ECB be
implementing a looser monetary policy in particular right now). You should consider
whether a one size monetary policy does fit all.
Report (40%)
You are asked to develop and write a final report to assess the case study of the transition to electric
mobility and its effects in global economics. Your work should come with in-depth reasoning and
justification with well founded facts, events, figures and academic arguments. Please also refer to
authors, models, themes and concepts learned in the course. You may define, evaluate and apply
these when needed. Critical thinking is welcomed when justyfiying your alternatives and answers.

4. Core problems for mobility The human population is growing towards 9 billion and the global car population is growing five times as fast, towards 2 billion. Besides other resource scarcities, oil to fuel cars is finite; so is space to park them.
5. Core problems with the EV solution Value - EVs are around twice as expensively priced as the cars they would displace, and offer far less utility. So they can only appeal to a restricted niche of suburban commuters or wealthy leisure users. Not enough to cut rising global oil consumption or transport emissions.
6. Core problems with the EV solution (Cont.) Subsidy dependence - To keep within 200% of the purchase price of comparable conventional vehicles, EV buyers need purchase subsidies of up to £5,000, and EV technology and infrastructure investors need comparable or greater amounts of subsidy too.
7. Core problems with the EV solution (Cont.) Infrastructure dependence - To assure even the modest commuting ranges available from today’s li ion battery technologies, recharging points need to be installed in public places and workplaces, at an average unit price equivalent to the price of a new car.
8. How much time for solutions? Given the high cost of EV subsidy, how long do suppliers have to make EVs profitable before governments turn off the tap?
10. What range do EVs need to achieve? And how long do batteries need to last?
11. External factors needed to help EVs survive Costly oil Punitive emissions legislation Fiscal carrots and sticks
12. The scale of the challenge “We cannot let electric vehicles turn into another niche product. To truly combat our oil dependence, we must put ourselves on the pathway toward millions, then tens of millions, then hundreds of millions of electric cars and trucks.” Frederick Smith, chairman, president and CEO of FedEx Corp. and co-chairman of the Energy Security Leadership Council
13. How many EVs, how fast? To electrify the global light vehicle parc by 2050, EV production needs to reach 50 million units/year by 2035 That’s 2 million more units a year for 23 years
14. To make growth like that happen Better electric cars are not the only solution.
15. The value of ‘feebates’ Carrot-and-stick incentives can change consumer and supplier behaviour better than carrots or sticks alone
16. Big questions on EV infrastructure It’s question of space and time How many charging points? How fast?
17. Supporting one car for the price of two? Should every parking space have a charging point?
18. The structure of public recharging markets Who should own the power? And the hardware?
19. Ramping up EV production What’s needed to reach mass-market EV volumes across the automotive industry?
20. Competitive products are the prime requirement Changing a billion-plus cars to EVs is a task far beyond the capacity of state subsidy
21. EVs should be game-changers A different logic for vehicle architecture A different logic for retailing More people, more vehicles, no more space: a more restrictive mobility market
22. Replacing oil - possibly the greatest disruption any industry has faced
