Energy use behaviour: A window of opportunity

Deborah Roy

Nature Energy· Volume 2· Issue 6

Abstract

The environmental impact of electric vehicles depends on the kind of energy used to charge them. They are typically charged at peak times, when extra fossil fuels are needed to meet energy demands. A study shows that e-mails targeting electric vehicle charging for new owners can be effective for promoting greener charging behaviours.
