Terwindt, Maurits (author)This thesis looks into the link between the Volkswagen emission scandal, or dieselgate, and the strong rise of electric vehicles in the years following that event. In order to investigate this, a framework is build that describes the process of an innovation (the electric vehicle), taking over from an incumbent technology (fossil fuel cars), in...master thesis 2022

van Wijnen, Laetitia (author)The goal of this thesis was to design a way for Ford to provide users more value during long-distance Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) trips. Users tend to buy their vehicle for the 95th percentile of use-cases. In the Netherlands, the average amount of km driven per day is 32 km, which is easily covered by any BEV currently on the market, without...master thesis 2021

Postma, Marco (author)Traditional trains, with steel rails and wheels, have been around for centuries. The very good energy efficiency of steel-wheeled trains is one of the reasons that they are one of the more promising transportation modes in the future, where energy conservation becomes more and more important. Furthermore, electric trains are able to efficiently...master thesis 2021

Smit, Mitchell (author)The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (E-VRP) is an extension of the infamous Vehicle Routing Problem which asks which routing decisions an electric vehicle needs to take in order to traverse the network efficiently. Many extensions of this problem have been subject to research in the last decade and now that electric vehicles are starting to pop...bachelor thesis 2021

Amouzandeh, Ashkan (author)As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) increases, congestion at charging becomes a more imminent problem. Congestion at a charging station can lead to long waiting queues and failure of EV owners to charge their vehicles fully before their departure from the station. To combat this issue, this paper explores several candidate scheduling...bachelor thesis 2021
