I'm on the job market this year. I study the equity and justice implications of transition from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles. I'm conceptualizing, measuring & modeling just transition to EVs in my dissertation. To read about my projects, check out my website abdirashiddahir.github.io

China couldnt compete w/the West in producing internal combustion vehicles, so it made a huge bet c. 2009: invest in EVs & help Chinese automakers leapfrog incumbents from the West. That gamble has clearly paid off with declining oil imports & expanding auto exports www.cnn.com/2025/01/23/c... 🔌🚗 🔌💡
China made a bet decades ago because it couldn’t compete with the US on cars. That bet is paying off big | CNN
By any measure, China’s EV growth has been extraordinary — more than half of new cars sold last year were electric. The global implications could be staggering.

If you’re at #TRB2025 today, please join the doctoral research workshop on travel behavior and modeling at 151B 1:30pm to hear @abdirashid.bsky.social discussing equitable transition to electric vehicles and @soukhova.bsky.social on accessibility measures. And many other interesting topics!

Interesting new report on transit costs. The data make clear the crisis of construction cost inflation in the Anglosphere.

One problem: A higher level of project soft costs, such as professional services, due to lack of in-house expertise.

Another problem: Overbuilding due to high risk aversion.
