My research uses a combination of economic and statistics to examine engineering and climate change policy questions. Most decarbonization pathways for the US economy place a heavy focus on vehicle electrification in the transportation sector. While adoption has increased in recent years, many barriers exist to full-scale adoption. I examine three challenges in this research: 1) the relationship between charging station investments and electric vehicle adoption, 2) rural electric vehicle adoption and associated barriers, and 3) consumer response to large body electric vehicles. I will describe complete and planned work on this topic, as well as provide an overview of my other research streams.
