EV Road Trip with Environment China!

EV Road Trip with Environment China!

Author: Beijing Energy Network November 28, 2019 Duration: 23:59

This week we join past guest and recent host, Anders Hove, for a journey to Inner Mongolia, Northern California, and Central Europe, where he recently tested the charging infrastructure on three long-distance electric vehicle road trips. We examine how EVs compare on fueling cost, emissions, and convenience, and discuss how the experience compared across the three regions, along with potential recommendations for policy-makers.

Anders is a non-resident fellow with Columbia University's Center for Global Energy Policy as well as Project Director at GIZ China. 

He is the co-author with Prof David Sandalow of Columbia University of the recent paper "Electric Vehicle Charging in China and the United States":
