New Ultra-Fast Charger Could Supercharge EV Uptake

After more than a century of dominating the roads, internal combustion engines (“ICE”) seem to be on the way out. ICE vehicles, especially passenger vehicles, are responsible for close to 30% of global carbon emissions. As climate change accelerates and the planet heats up, zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”) have been crowned the successor of the internal combustion engine. However, EVs still make a small percentage of global vehicle sales, a paltry 4% to be exact, with most drivers opting for tried and tested petrol and diesel-powered cars. They can take hours to fully charge, and an insufficient and often unreliable…

How Far Could Your EV Go on a Single Charge?

In a bid to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions from the transportation sector, several countries plan to steadily replace conventional petrol and diesel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles (“EVs”). Rather than an internal combustion engine, these cars are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. But for plenty of drivers, range anxiety, which is the fear of running out of power on long trips without a charging station in sight, is a major deterrent against switching to EVs. So just how far can an electric vehicle go on a single charge? And, on top of that,…

German Vehicle Owners Still Reluctant to Switch to EVs

Like most developed countries, Germany is scrambling to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”). Specifically, Germany, which is home to some of the largest automakers in the world, would like to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Having an estimated 7-10 million battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) on the roads by 2030 is integral to this goal. Unfortunately, German drivers aren't as receptive to BEVs as the government and the young electric vehicle industry would like them to be. At the moment, only 1.2% of the 48.2 million passenger vehicles registered in the…

BloombergNEF Predicts Surging EV Sales Though Additional Policy Action Is Needed

Despite all we have achieved over the last century due to the internal combustion engine, vehicles powered by this technology are also responsible for a large percentage of global carbon emissions. Consequently, most countries have pledged to replace internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles with zero-emission electric cars in a bid to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Rather than “dirty” fossil fuels, electric vehicles (“EVs”) are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and, theoretically, making them our primary modes of transportation could cut carbon emissions by a wide margin. The EV industry is barely a decade old and makes up less than…

Your Nagging EV Questions, Answered!

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are the next frontier of vehicular travel. As the world tries to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels in a bid to lessen carbon emissions and arrest runaway climate change, zero-emission electric vehicles have been crowned as the successor of the century-old internal combustion engine. However, since EVs are relatively new to the mainstream, most people don't know a lot about them. In this article, we will answer some of the most common EV questions and try to give you a better understanding of this game-changing technology. When was the first EV made? While a lot of…

Fisker Plans to Make Fully Electric Pickup

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) have been crowned the zero-emission vehicles of the future, but that isn't always the case. Although battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) produce zero emissions, mining the metals used in their lithium-ion battery packs has raised several environmental concerns. Additionally, the electricity used to charge the vehicles isn't always sourced sustainably, and there are questions about how effectively these batteries can be recycled or disposed of once they reach the end of their lives. Fisker Inc. (NYSE: SPAQ), the electric vehicle firm founded and led by billionaire Henrik Fisker, has recently announced that it will develop a “climate neutral”…

A Look at Electric vs. Hydrogen Fuel Cars

After dominating the world's roads for a century, the internal combustion engine (“ICE”) has finally found a competitor that just might put it out of business. The world is finally waking up to the long-term effects of burning fossil fuels for decades, some would say a tad too late, and numerous countries are looking to phase out petrol and diesel-powered cars in exchange for alternative energy vehicles. Mostly comprised of electric vehicles (“EVs”) and hydrogen cell cars, these vehicles produce minimal to zero emissions at the tailpipe. Consequently, EVs are expected to play a big role in global efforts to…
