Research & Statistics

Research Sources on Electric Vehicles & EV Charging

  • National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) > Transportation Research – NREL spearheads transportation research, development, and deployment (RD&D) to accelerate the widespread adoption of high-performance, low-emission, energy-efficient passenger and freight vehicles. As the only national laboratory dedicated 100% to renewable energy and energy efficiency, NREL collaborates with industry, government, and research partners to create better:
    • Electric, hybrid, fuel cell, and conventional vehicle technologies
    • Biofuels, hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and petroleum-based fuels
    • Charging and fueling infrastructure.
  • Navigant Research – The Electric Vehicles Research Service focuses on the emerging market opportunities for electrified vehicles on a worldwide basis. Research coverage includes plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, hybrid cars and trucks, and electric bicycles, motorcycles, and scooters. Enabling technologies such as batteries and charging equipment infrastructure are also analyzed in depth. The service examines key industry players within the EV ecosystem as well as policy and regulatory factors and drivers of consumer and fleet demand for electrified vehicles.
  • Plug-In Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Research Center (U.C. Davis) – The Plug-in Hybrid & Electric Vehicle (PH&EV) Research Center launched in early 2007, with the support of the California Energy Commission’s allocation of Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) funds for transportation research. The Center collaborates closely with California utilities, automakers, regulators, and other research institutions such as the Electric Power Research Institute and Argonne National Lab on research aimed at developing a sustainable market for plug-in vehicles.
