Although battery electric vehicles (EVs) are emission-free at the tailpipe, the energy mix that provides electricity to charge EVs is generally not. Ideally, it is desired to charge EVs from a low- or no-carbon energy source to ensure that the emissi...

Journal Article
Peerbocus, N. (2007). Assessment of Reforms in the Electricity Supply Industry: A Review of Some Recent Empirical Studies. Electricity Journal, 20(2), 44-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2007.01.005

An empirical review suggests that progress has been made in bringing competition into the inherently complex and challenging electricity market, generating substantial efficiency gains. But the large disconnect between the wholesale and retail market... Read More about Assessment of Reforms in the Electricity Supply Industry: A Review of Some Recent Empirical Studies.
