A New EV Horizon

This introductory text describes a report by RMI that examines Shenzhen's leadership in electric urban delivery vehicles. The report focuses on solving charging infrastructure challenges using data from 10,000 vehicles and operator interviews to create a model for other cities to decarbonize goods transport.

• Decarbonizing the movement of goods requires a transition from fossil fuels to electricity. Electric delivery vehicles, especially for urban use, have become economically viable due to reductions in battery costs and increases in battery energy density.
• The report analyzes the charging infrastructure for electric urban delivery vehicles by utilizing a dataset containing the complete driving records of more than 10,000 electric delivery vehicles in Shenzhen, alongside interviews with the companies that operate them.
