Kimbell J: Electric Vehicles in the USA.
Economic Benefits and Environmental Imp

Electric Vehicles in the USA. Economic Benefits and Environmental Impact

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of the Americas Puebla, language: English, abstract: In the present years, many established automakers find themselves in the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Climate change is a growing concern in society, so car manufacturers try to do their part to combat it. As of today, the most promising environmentally friendly option is the battery electric vehicle, so many expect it to dominate the markets in a few years. However, this transition brings many fundamental questions, one of them being the pricing strategy. Elevated production costs, government intervention, and very dynamic competition make the companies face a situation they have not faced before, so, this investigation tries to guide them by comparing the three most used strategies: penetration pricing, price skimming, and a cost-plus strategy. 

I used a survey in combination with information from the literature to assess the effectiveness of each of the pricing strategies. The results have been analyzed for both emerging and developing markets using the examples of Germany and Mexico, but only small systematical differences could be identified. As the results show, neither penetration nor a skimming strategy is promising. In the case of the penetration strategy, companies would have to sell cars significantly below production costs, and once they increase the prices to recover financial losses, clients would flee to other brands due to a high demand elasticity and low brand loyalty. For the price skimming strategy, it was found that it is very hard to generate a solid initial sales volume. Thus, companies sticking with the simple cost-plus strategy are most likely to succeed.

RSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric

An investigation into one of the largest and most lucrative mineral mining companies in the world, Rio Tinto, Extraction Politics reveals how the company constructs a presence in the places it operates and shapes meanings and orientations toward the environment.
Taking readers on a "rhetorical pilgrimage" across the American Southwest, Nicholas Paliewicz shows how Rio Tinto creates adaptable corporate identities. From Ronald Reagan's frontiersman advertisements for the Borax Mine in California to the pioneer Mormon persona at Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City and the folksy, paternalistic perspective toward the San Carlos Apache at the proposed mine at Oak Flat, Arizona, the company appropriates local history to embed itself as a valued member of the public--without having to settle in those ecological communities and bear the costs of extraction. This does not occur without resistance, however. Paliewicz also shows how activists use these same tactics to expose Rio Tinto as an exploitative, colonialist polluter.
In an era of surging demand for dwindling supplies of minerals and metals, this book previews what the future of extractivism may look like. Extraction Politics will appeal to scholars and students of environmental communication and activist politics as well as general readers interested in the climate crisis.

Maintenance: Of Everything

The first in-depth exploration of maintenance—and a powerful argument for its civilizational importance—from the author of How Buildings Learn and creator of the Whole Earth Catalog. 
Maintenance is what keeps everything going. It’s what keeps life going. Yet it’s also easy to shirk or defer—until the thing breaks, the system falters, and everything stops. The apparent paradox is profound: Maintenance is absolutely necessary and maintenance is optional.&nbsp; 
The first in a multi-volume work, Maintenance: Of Everything, Part One offers a comprehensive overview of the civilizational importance of maintenance. The book begins with a dramatic contest of maintenance styles under life-critical conditions: the Golden Globe around-the-world solo sailboat race of 1968. It goes on to explore the insights that can be gleaned from vehicle maintenance, from the zeal of motorcycle maintainers to the maintenance philosophies that fought for dominance of the auto industry to the state of electric vehicle manufacturing today, with absorbing detours into the evolution of precision in manufacturing, the enduring importance of manuals, sustainment in the military, and the never-ending battle against corrosion. 
Maintenance: Of Everything is a wide-ranging and provocative call to expand what we mean by “maintenance”—not just the tiresome preventative tasks but the whole grand process of keeping a thing going. It invites us to understand not only the profound impact maintenance has on our daily lives but also why taking responsibility for maintaining something—whether a motorcycle, a monument, or our very planet—can be a radical act. 
 


“No one else but Stewart Brand is talking about the art and science of maintenance and how to do it well. This will be an instant classic.” 


—Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist

 
 




“A deliciously good book.” 




—Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired

Part One

Case Study from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This study aims to conduct an empirical review of the economic and environmental implications of electric vehicles in the US to depict a balanced view of the outcome of the technology. As EV demand grows due to technological progress and consequent emphasis on climate change solutions, the role of these vehicles in recasting parts of the American economy and environment has to be discussed. This paper aims to determine the amount of money that can be saved through the use of EVs by comparing the fuel costs of EVs to conventional ICE vehicles. These savings can lead to more disposable income so households can spend money on other aspects of the economy. The paper focuses on how the change from a reliance on gasoline to electricity can decrease the countries' reliance on oil importation. This shift has profound geo-political consequences and can act as a force for improving national energy security and economic resilience. In particular, the study aims to establish new employment opportunities created by the EV value network extending from manufacturing to transport infrastructure development. This includes manufacturing of batteries, assembling cars, maintenance of cars, and even setting up charging stations and their maintenance.

The study also concerns the environmental impact of the extensive use of EVs. Thus, by comparing emissions data in the study, the study seeks to illustrate that EVs produce fewer CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions than ICE vehicles. This reduction is essential to achieve national and international climate targets and goals. Exploring the effects of EVs on air quality, the paper focuses on the effect on NOx emissions and PM emissions. This is a crucial benefit because high atmospheric pollution levels are detrimental to human health, especially in crowded regions.

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 1,3, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: The objective of this assignment is to research charging infrastructure requirements, that potentially increase the demand for electric vehicles. The scope of this work will be limited to the German market, except for the overview of the e-Mobility market development. To examine the objective a secondary research of current literature, statistical reports, media and regulations will be performed. First of all, the author will present theoretical foundations to better understand the subsequent chapters, following by an overview of the global e-Mobility market development. Hereafter, the components of charging infrastructure are examined and the current challenges regarding market penetration, following an in-depth research of the charging infrastructure requirements to increase the demand for electric vehicles. Finally, the author will summarize her conclusion and outlook. Climate change, new technologies and less dependence on fossil fuels are major drivers for the development of electric mobility. Electric mobility produces much less CO2, especially when operated using renewable based electricity and therefore seen as key element of the energy transition towards a CO2 neutral environment. In addition, the batteries of electric vehicles (EV) can be used as energy storage to offset fluctuations in solar and wind power. Thus, electric vehicles foster the market integration and expansion of these volatile energy sources. To support and promote research and development of electric vehicles the Federal Government has adopted a set of measures, e.g., the extension of charging infrastructure. The German Government set ambitious goals for the German charging infrastructure. In order to reach this goal, customers must be convinced that an EV is better than the conventional motor type cars. Slowly, but electric vehicles become more visible nowadays. The major current challenges still pose the range of batteries and the charging management. Through digitalization of traffic systems and the increasing automation of mobility in form of autonomous driving cars, the change will be further accelerated.
