Abstract

This report contains a review of relevant literature to battery electric vehicle adoption. The first section outlines key trends in battery electric vehicle adoption as well as background information about the market for electric vehicles in the United States. The second section focuses on the reasons someone selects a battery electric vehicle as some barriers to purchasing a battery electric vehicle. This report focuses on the drivers and barriers to adoption that are relevant to the battery of a battery electric vehicle. The third section then details additional technical papers surrounding the batteries of battery electric vehicles including options for the end of use of the battery. The battery of an electric vehicle is one of the most expensive components and the technology in batteries is evolving quickly, so we focus our review on papers related to the batteries of battery electric vehicles.
