1. Introduction The transport sector is a central source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in modern economies [1,2]. For instance, the transport sector is responsible for around 25 and 28% of total GHG emissions in Europe and the USA, respectively, and road transport accounts for the largest share of emissions at around 3/4 [3,4,5,6]. In addition to a modal shift, the electrification of vehicles is a crucial field of action for reducing GHG emissions in the transport sector.
