The exploration of the reverse salient of electric vehicle systems for urban mobility

Electrification transportation for urban mobility is a hot topic around the world. Many types of electric vehicles could be employed for urban mobility, but both the EVs’ adoption rate and the deployment of their dependent infrastructures are either in the nascent stage or have not been commercialized. No study has studied the drawbacks of EV...
