We are excited to announce the release of non-resident Fellow Bob McNally’s forthcoming book, Crude Volatility, the first publication launched in the Center on Global Energy Policy Series published by the Columbia University Press. As part of its official release, we will host events on January 25 in New York City. Please join us for a panel on oil price volatility with author Bob McNally and Jason Bordoff. A book signing and reception will immediately follow the discussion. Distinguished experts joining Mr. McNally include: Marianne Kah, ConocoPhilips Michael Cohen, Barclays Antoine Halff, Center on Global Energy Policy This panel will be immediately followed by a book signing and reception. A limited number of books will be sold at this event. Registration is required. Guests unable to attend can view a livestream of the panel at energypolicy.columbia.edu/watch. A podcast of this event will be available ~12 days after the date of the event through iTunes and our website. This event is open to press.

CGEP scholars reflect on some of the standout issues of the day during this year's Climate Week
Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
