Series: ER ; 2009:36Publication details: Eskilstuna Energimyndigheten, 2009Description: 97 sSubject(s): Online resources: Notes: Övers. av: Kunskapsunderlag angående marknaden för elfordon och laddhybrider (KAMEL). ER. 2009:20 Abstract: The Swedish Energy Authority was commissioned by the Swedish government on February 12, 2009 with producing an integrated knowledge base for the market in electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. The work was to be undertaken in collaboration with the Energy Market Inspectorate, the Swedish Transport Agency and the National Road Administration and a report was to be made on May 29, 2009. The commission was to be carried out in consultation with representatives of the automotive industry, electricity distributors, electricity producers, consumers, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions and the relevant authorities. With the short time allowed the commission has primarily been carried out on the basis of existing material or material that was under development. The collaboration with the authorities has been carried out by means of a reference group which met on three occasions. Collaboration with the players has been carried out primarily through an open hearing on May 4, but also through direct contacts. Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids have in recent years received increasing attention in the press. A number of car manufacturers have published plans to produce and sell electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. A number of new players have also received attention for their plans to become electric car manufacturers or to rebuild cars as electric vehicles. The Swedish car industry is today developing both the technology for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, but has not released any production plans. The heavy vehicle industry is working on the development of hybrid vehicles, vehicles which also contain batteries. Today there are no electric cars or plug-in hybrids for sale through the usual sales channels in Sweden, but the players have taken the initiative in importing a number of vehicles directly.
