Applied Research ∨
RMI is a “think and do tank” and the MOVE Team pursues a rigorous research agenda in conjunction with our consulting engagements.
Much of our applied research happens in association with a forward-looking client or group of clients.
MOVE is always looking out for great new ideas, and welcomes participation from the industry.
A few examples of current research projects:
- Financial modeling of electrified vehicle and grid integration (with Duke Energy, Ford Motor Company, Google, and others)
- Highway safety implications of advanced vehicles (with the Hewlett Foundation)
- Life cycle assessment of various advanced automotive materials and energy storage options
Past research can be found in RMI's publications library and in Winning the Oil Endgame.
