An Empirical Study on CO_2 Reduction Effect Measurement of Ultra-Compact Electric Vehicle in Japan: Presented at EVS 31 EVTeC 2018, Kobe, Japan, October 1 - 3, 2018

摘要

For countermeasures of transportation sector against global warming, the wide-spread of ultra-compact electric vehicles is expected. However, The report of the CO_2 reduction effect in real world is rare. Therefore, in this study, we developed the onboard device and measured the actual electricity consumption of ultra-compact electric vehicles which were used in Japanese. As a results, The electric energy consumptions varied from 107 to 147 Wh/km. CO_2 emissions were reduced by 63.1-69.2% compared to gasoline passenger vehicles and by 6.4-21.8% compared to gasoline three wheel motorbikes. Energy costs were reduced by 71.2-76.0% compared to gasoline passenger vehicles and 27.0-39.1% compared to gasoline three wheel motorbikes.
