This book explores the part that electric vehicles can play in
reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Further, it explains the impact
of public support, technological advances, lower costs and better
battery performance in making electric vehicles a viable
alternative. The book begins by analyzing the international context
of electric vehicles and how they are being developed in different
countries, and by offering a forecast of the electricity demand
they may create. It then discusses technological innovations in
electric vehicle recharging systems. The book is concerned not only
with the economic potential of electric vehicles, but also with
environmental aspects; consequently, it examines the raw materials
supply chain and performs a lifecycle assessment. The book
concludes with a chapter on alternative energies in transport,
which may also help to facilitate the energy transition. Given its
scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers,
graduate students, policymakers and industry professionals
interested in the energy transition and transport.

This book analyses the economic and environmental aspects of
installing photovoltaic facilities for residential electricity
users and determines whether the installation of photovoltaic units
"behind the meter" makes sense, and if so, the best economic size
to install. It explores the use of photovoltaic capacity to meet
electricity requirements by generating enough for immediate use
without feeding surplus electricity into the grid and without using
storage. The authors illustrate this approach by examining various
power photovoltaic capacities in locations such as Marseille,
Madrid and Seville, which use hourly demand data provided by smart
meters. They also show the possibility of developing energy
self-consumption compatible with the operation of the network,
making use of information from smart meters. Discussing how
photovoltaic facilities are profitable from both an economic and an
environmental point of view, this book is a valuable resource for
researchers and private investors. It is also of interest to
practitioners and academics, as the results presented are of
importance for the near future.
