The Impact of Electric Cars on Oil Demand and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Key Markets

This book explores the extent to which electric cars might reduce oil demand and greenhouse gas emissions in key markets: China, France, Germany, India, Japan and the United States. The developed model consists of an econometric sub-model, soft-linked with a system dynamics sub-model. The model captures feedback loops that may stimulate the market development of electric cars. The six countries are interlinked to simulate technological progress concerning the electric vehicle battery.
