The Arctic is seeing increased interest in Electric vehicles (EV) adoption. This project will evaluate where, how, and for whom EVs can provide widespread benefits, and identify what might need to change to realize these benefits for Arctic communities. The performance of EVs in cold Arctic temperatures will be studied as well as how EVs will affect isolated rural power systems. The interdisciplinary project will also address how electric rates and public policies will affect EV adoption and use. The project’s workforce development focus will benefit the communities and address a common barrier to EV adoption: local maintenance and repair. This project will bring together researchers, tribal community partners, electric utilities, and vocational programs in automotive technology in Kotzebue and Galena, Alaska, to answer the question of how EVs can be integrated in remote Arctic communities to improve resilience, provide cleaner, affordable mobility, and promote energy justice.This project will conduct convergent engineering and social science research to address the unknown impacts of extreme cold weather on EVs, the impact of EVs on remote Arctic diesel microgrids, and the socio-economic conditions and policies needed to facilitate widespread, equitable use of EVs in rural Alaska to support the self-determination of underserved communities. Knowledge of the efficiency and performance of commercially available EVs in extremely cold climates will be advanced by collecting data, performing modeling and analysis, and publishing results for EVs operating in temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, including off-road EVs. To learn how receptive rural Alaskans are to EVs, how EVs would integrate with use patterns and needs, and potential barriers to adoption, this project will apply the transportation acceptance model (TAM) to EV use in the two study communities. Novel research will be conducted on the impacts of EV charging on Arctic diesel microgrids and the impacts of policy choices on EV uptake and charging behavior in diesel microgrid communities. This project also brings together the University of Alaska Anchorage’s (UAA) Community and Technical College Auto/Diesel Program, the Alaska Technical Center in Kotzebue, and the Galena City School District’s Galena Interior Learning Academy to develop and deliver culturally appropriate and community responsive workforce development curricula tailored to EVs in rural Alaska.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北极看到对电动汽车采用（EV）的兴趣增加。该项目将评估电动汽车可以在何处，如何以及为谁提供宽敞的福利，并确定可能需要改变的方法来实现这些北极社区的好处。电动汽车在冷北极温度下的性能将进行研究，以及电动汽车将如何影响孤立的农村电力系统。跨学科项目还将解决电费和公共政策将如何影响电动汽车的采用和使用。该项目的劳动力发展重点将使社区受益，并应对采用EV的常见障碍：地方维护和维修。该项目将汇集研究人员，部落社区合作伙伴，电力公用事业和发布在Kotzebue和阿拉斯加加利纳州的汽车技术方面的发布计划，以回答如何将EVS整合到偏远的北极社区中，以提高北极社区，以提高北极社区，提供清洁，负担得起的行动能力，并促进能源正义。北极柴油微电网以及促进宽度，公平地使用电动汽车在阿拉斯加的宽度，以支持服务不足社区的自决所需的社会经济条件和政策。通过收集数据，进行建模和分析以及在低于-30摄氏度（包括越野电动汽车）的温度下运行的电动汽车（包括越野电动汽车），包括在极度寒冷的气候下的效率和性能知识，并通过收集数据，进行建模和分析以及发布结果来提高知识。为了了解阿拉斯加人对电动汽车的接受程度，电动汽车如何与使用模式和需求以及潜在采用的潜在障碍集成在一起，该项目将应用运输接受模型（TAM）在两个研究社区中使用EV。新的研究将对电动汽车充电对北极柴油微电网的影响以及政策选择对柴油微电网社区电动汽车摄取和充电行为的影响进行。 This project also brings together the University of Alaska Anchorage’s (UAA) Community and Technical College Auto/Diesel Program, the Alaska Technical Center in Kotzebue, and the Galena City School District’s Galena Interior Learning Academy to develop and deliver culturally appropriate and community responsive workforce development curricula tailored to EVs in rough Alaska.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through evaluation using the基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评论标准。
