Conditions for the successful deployment of electric vehicles - A global energy system perspective

▸ Scenario analysis of long-term trends for deployment of alternative car technologies. ▸ Analysis includes the broader energy system, with policy and resource uncertainties. ▸ Robust technology options are hybrid electric drivetrains. ▸ Robust alternative fuels are natural gas and biofuels (partially 2nd generation). ▸ Nearer-term deployment of electric cars relies on potential short-range car market.
