Market potential for renewable fuels passenger cars (RFP cars)
The project developed an econometric model capable of predicting car model combination of new car sales, including in particular cars using fuels produced with renewable energy, i.e. electric cars, hydrogen cars and plug-in cars as well as cars running on biodiesel.
Project description
The market potential for hydrogen cars, hybrid cars and biofuels, depending on the price of fuel and cars, will be studied through interviews with the buyers of new cars. The project will develop a model that coordinates new knowledge with an existing econometric car-choice model. The effect on the overall electricity-energy system will be analysed via the Nordic energy-system model
Results
Moreover, customers’ willingness to pay for various aspects related to renewable energy cars was studied. The electric car market was studied at various car price ranges and in relation to investment in charging infrastructure. Finally, a model was developed for analysis of optimum infrastructure for electric car quick charge stations and charging points.
