Retrofit Electrification of Road Vehicles

Electrification of road vehicles is a fundamental step for decarbonization. A rapid transition is urgent and probably is the most rational solution however the sudden obsolescence of tenth of millions of vehicles around the world pose a serious trouble also in terms of environmental impact. For this reason, a second life reuse of existing vehicles represents an important mitigation factor and an instrument for a sustainable and inclusive diffusion around the world of electric mobility also for emerging economies of countries which represents a large part of present and future Humanity. In this study authors introduce some design and application examples that should be easily managed with affordable and ready to market technologies.
