Electrifying Shared Vehicle Services: Reframing the Three Revolutions - Livestream

Preventing catastrophic climate change will require a rapid shift to transportation powered by clean electricity, and shared vehicle services (including taxis and ride-sourcing) can serve as a crucial beachhead market for battery electric vehicles. In this talk, Gordon will present his research on how to electrify these services, including infrastructure requirements, operational strategies, and policy implications. Along the way, he will reflect on lessons learned for achieving a just transition in the transportation system. Three technological revolutions - automation, electrification, and digitization - are disrupting the industry, but political and cultural paradigm shifts will be required to drive the disruption towards justice.
