Abstract
This study explores the total cost of ownership (TCO) and green premium of electric vehicles (EVs), including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and conventional vehicles, focusing on top-selling models in Brazil. A roadmap is devised to ease EV integration into the Brazilian market. The TCO analysis reveals that PHEVs powered solely by gasoline cost up to $0.084 per kilometre, while using gasoline in dual-fuel mode with 80% biogas reduces costs to $0.038. HEVs saw costs drop from $0.077 per kilometre to $0.054 with bioethanol in dual-fuel mode with 80% biogas. Conventional vehicles using dual-fuel with 20% bioethanol and 80% biogas achieved cost reductions from $0.106 to $0.081 per kilometre. HEVs and conventional vehicles with biofuels demonstrated annual cost savings of up to 11.2% and 14.1%, respectively, compared to gasoline-only use. BEVs, however, showed significantly lower annual costs, being up to 63.7% and 55% less than gasoline-powered HEVs and PHEVs, respectively, and between 60.9% and 73% less than conventional vehicles. The study also outlines policy interventions and infrastructure development to promote EV adoption in Brazil, enhancing sustainable transportation.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
