Join the Center on Global Energy Policy and CGEP Visiting Scholar Rim Baltaduonis for a hands-on demonstration of how laboratory economics experiments can be used to study electricity markets and inform decision makers about energy policy alternatives. This student-only workshop will include an hour-long computerized simulation of day-ahead wholesale power markets that will be followed by a short presentation and an interactive Q&A session over lunch. No prior knowledge about energy markets or economics/finance is necessary to participate. This is a great, interactive way to start learning about electric power markets and deepen your understanding about them using a unique learning tool. — Please note: There is limited capacity for this event. We ask that you register only if you are sure you can attend this event in its entirety. You may only attend this workshop once per semester. If you attended the prior session, you will be unable to register for this session. For more information contact: [email protected].

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.
US tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil may stem more from frustrations in US-India trade negotiations than from a concern about funding Russia’s war in Ukraine.
