US Explores Ways to Extend Subsidies to EU-Made EVs

The Biden government may permit companies in Europe to take part in United States tax subsidies in billions of dollars for electric vehicles if the two sides can reach a trade agreement in the coming weeks. According to a senior government official, this decision could help reduce a significant source of tension between the two continents. The United States and the European Union have had weeks of discussions but haven't yet agreed on ways to include European carmakers in such incentives. However, continuing negotiations might result in a deal that would let cars that contain minerals from Europe be eligible…

Startup Mode: Ford Expects $3B Loss at Its EV Division This Year

Ford (F) anticipates that the EV sales to customers will result in a $3 billion loss in 2023. Yet it still projects that it will achieve its annual profit target of $9 to $11 billion.

Why Fewer Women Than Men Are Buying EVs

Although America is investing additional funds in infrastructure and subsidies for electric vehicles, the gender disparity in ownership may be caused by concerns about affordability and security. The unreliable charging stations and security concerns are pointers explaining the fact that fewer women are electric car drivers. However, there are other things causing the gender disparity. Earlier studies and more current polls point to a variety of reasons, including socio-economic level, experiences at vehicle dealerships and a lack of knowledge about how to operate electric cars. While the United States develops a strategy of putting more funds into charging stations throughout…

How Cities Across the Globe Can Boost EV Adoption

In 2022, sales of electric vehicles increased globally by more than 60%, breaking previous records. More model options, longer-lasting automobile batteries, government incentives and high oil prices are only a few of the many variables that led to this expansion. But besides this rapid development, the percentage of new electric vehicle sales is still a mere 14%. If this trend continues, it will take many decades before we see all vehicles on the roads entirely electric. Governments must take considerably more effort to promote and get ready for the adoption of electric vehicles. According to the most recent Urban Mobility…

Declining Lithium Prices Trigger Reductions, Boost EV Affordability

The cost of lithium, a key element in all EV batteries, has significantly decreased, making electric vehicles relatively affordable. This is great news for consumers. However, experts differ on the duration for how long low costs will persist. Several observers were surprised by the sudden changes because they had assumed that the prices would remain high or even increase, impeding the switch to greener transport methods, a crucial step in the fight against global warming. The decline in material costs has made it simpler for automakers to lower the cost of electric cars. For example, this year saw Tesla reduce…

Study Shows Strategic EV Charger Location Could Reduce Power Grid Stress

According to MIT researchers, electric vehicles may have a lesser effect on the electricity grid if charging points are strategically placed and technologies are put in place to start auto charging at scheduled times. Plans at the national and international levels to tackle climate change include raising the amount of electricity produced from renewable energy sources and electrifying more automobiles. However, some forecasts suggest that these developments may necessitate the construction of costly new power facilities to handle power demand surges in the evening hours when automobiles are plugged in after work. Meanwhile, excessive solar panel power output during the…
