Resumen de Sostenibilidad técnica, económica y ambiental de flotas comerciales de vehículos eléctricos

Silvia Cestau Cubero

• This doctoral thesis analyses whether electric vehicle is technical, economic and environmental sustainable. We have studied a company fleet of electric vehicles which has a carsharing service for the retail department to know if the EV could replace an internal combustion engine vehicle. We have examined the journeys of 8 EV located on six of the main cities of Spain through data collected from the CAN bus UCV (on-board diagnostics). We have measured the battery's charging, because we are interested on its behaviour (autonomy, auto-discharging and aging) and the energy required to charge the EV. Also, we have studied the well to wheels analysis, assessing their efficiency and environmental effects (CO2 emissions and noise), quantifying the economic impact (fuel and Total Cost of Ownership) and other potential benefits associated with EV (Corporate Social Responsibility, tax free, etc).
