Hace años que el vehículo eléctrico de uso particular amenaza con interactuar masivamente y sustituir buena parte de la carga vehicular de combustión interna; sin embargo, actualmente la homeostasis de la movilidad urbana relacionada con la velocidad y el tiempo en los trayectos motorizados cotidianos transitan entre las fases sub-crítica y crítica, por la entropía de los procesos de producción y consumo que presionan a este subsistema y viceversa. Este trabajo analiza desde la teoría de los sistemas la participación de los componentes entrópicos de la movilidad urbana en México, a través del modelo entropía-homeostasis-negentropía; una adecuación del modelo presión-estado-respuesta de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico, con el objetivo de mostrar cualitativamente el escenario más probable en la interacción vehículo eléctrico particular-movilidad urbana. Los resultados indican que un mayor número de unidades vehiculares generan mayor entropía intra-sistémica. En este sentido, es indispensable implementar negentropías definitivas para la automovilidad eléctrica.

Optimal Incentives

As electric vehicles’ penetration increases, more impacts on urban systems are observed and related to both driving (e.g., on traffic congestion and reduced pollution) and charging (e.g., on the electrical grid). Therefore, there is a need to design coupled incentive mechanisms. To propose and numerically evaluate such incentives, a game theory model is adopted. Its originality comes from the coupling between the charging cost and the driving decisions: to drive downtown or to charge at an e-Park & Ride hub with solar panels and then take public transport, in order to reach destination. Optimal ticket fares and solar park’s size are computed using real photovoltaic production data.

By transforming patterns of travel and work around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the transition to renewable energy and the decline of fossil fuels. Lockdowns brought car commuting and plane travel to a near halt, and the mass experiment in which white-collar employees have been working from home may permanently reduce energy consumption for business travel. Renewable energy and electric vehicles were already gaining market share before the pandemic. Under pressure from investors, major energy companies have started writing off fossil fuel reserves as stranded assets that are no longer worth the cost of extracting. These shifts may indicate that “peak oil demand” has arrived earlier than expected.
