General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) to Inject $3 Billion into Michigan EV Projects

Electrification is picking up more steam as countries pass increasingly strict tailpipe emission standards and more players join the nascent electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. Furthermore, the electric vehicle game isn’t limited to just EV startups; most established automakers are also working on electrifying their vehicle lineups and surpassing Tesla, which is currently the world’s largest electric vehicle maker. General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) plans to achieve this goal in large by leveraging existing manufacturing facilities and retrofitting them to build electric vehicles. And like fellow automakers, GM will invest a significant amount of money in electrification in the next decade.…

What the New Battery Chemistry for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y, Model 3 Means

Electric vehicles have one core aspect that makes them extremely superior to combustion engine vehicles: they produce zero emissions at the tailpipe. By eliminating combustion engines and the fossil fuels that power those engines in exchange for rechargeable battery packs, automakers can reduce vehicle emissions by a significant margin. With a large portion of the world looking to cut down greenhouse gas emissions in a bid to arrest runaway climate change, EVs represent the next logical evolution of vehicular transport. However, EV technology is still relatively new, and players in the EV and battery-making spaces are constantly tweaking their formulas…

Fords Sets Two-Year Timeline for Earning Second Spot in EV Sector

Like most established automakers, Ford Motors is looking to electrify its vehicle line-ups and carve a section of the nascent electric vehicle (“EV”) market for itself over the next couple of decades. Ford has already released the award-winning Mustang Mach-E and is currently developing an electrified version of its bestselling F-150 pickup truck. Additionally, the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker has invested $500 million in electric vehicle startup Rivian for more than 10% ownership. According to a Ford executive, the company is now looking to significantly ramp up EV production in the next couple of years. Ford plans on increasing electric vehicle production…

BYD Partners with Toyota to Make Affordable EV

Although the race for electrification was kicked off by an electric vehicle (“EV”) startup, established automakers are also looking to make their mark in the nascent EV industry. Automakers such as Hyundai, General Motors and Ford have already released EVs while others that don't yet have electric cars on the road are working on extensive electrification plans. Now a report from Reuters claims that Toyota, which has been quite slow to join the electric bandwagon comparatively, is looking to build an electric car as well. According to Reuters, Toyota has partnered with Chinese manufacturing company BYD to develop a new…

Norway Again Proves EV Future Is Much Closer

The electric vehicle (“EV”) sector still has a long way to go. Presently, EV sales make up less than 5% of total car sales, and only a few automakers have manufactured mass-market electric vehicles. Still, more and more consumers are choosing to ditch their internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles. Although America, Europe and China represent the largest electric vehicle markets in the world, Norway has consistently led the pack in per-capita electric vehicle adoption. Most of the electric vehicles in America are in urban areas. Electric car sales make up just 2% of total vehicle sales, with at least 40%…

New Trend to Watch: Enjoy Delivered Food While You Charge Your EV

Refueling a combustion engine car has been a fairly routine process for decades: drive to a gas station, refill the car, make a quick visit to the convenience store (if there’s one present) and drive away. In and out within a couple of minutes. On the other hand, electric vehicles (“EVs”) can take hours to fully recharge, with the fastest chargers adding 60 to 200 miles of range in around about a half hour. This makes for a completely different experience as drivers usually have to find something to do while their cars fill up. One of the largest elective…

Major Automakers Cash in on EV Revolution

The electric vehicle (“EV”) industry is poised to experience exponential growth over the next couple of decades as drivers ditch their internal combustion engine (“ICE”) cars for zero-emission EVs. As governments across the world pass greenhouse gas emissions standards, dozens of EV startups have emerged to try and fulfill the demand for sustainable vehicular transportation. Nearly a decade after Tesla’s Roadster hit the road, EV startups such as Tesla have a dedicated and loyal consumer base. With most startups coming up with new and often radical ideas, new customers eager to experience novel and sustainable technologies are flocking to them…

Governor Ivey Announces EV Push in Alabama

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey recently launched an electric vehicle (“EV”) campaign that will see the Southern state join the growing number of states with electrification plans. Under an EV education and marketing campaign, dubbed Drive Electric Alabama, the state will promote awareness about electric vehicles and increase the number of public EV charging stations. Charging has always been a hindrance to EV adoption because it exacerbates range anxiety, but Alabama is hoping to develop a wide charging infrastructure network right off the bat. Ivey was joined by the director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (“ADECA”) Keneth…

Chip Shortage Could Slow Transition to EVs

With extreme weather events ravaging different parts of the world, several countries have pledged to combat climate change by cutting their greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to play an integral role in reducing transportation emissions because they do not use fossil fuels, and they produce zero tailpipe emissions. Automakers, EV startups, and technology companies have invested billions of dollars in developing new electric vehicle models. However, the transition from internal combustion engine (“ICE”) cars to zero-emission vehicles could be held back by the worldwide chip shortage. When the coronavirus first struck and left the world in a…

Nissan to Inject $17.6 Billion into Switch to Electric Vehicles

The electric vehicle (“EV”) market is expected to grow exponentially as more people ditch their internal combustion engine (“ICE”) cars for electric cars. Although Tesla has dominated the EV market for a decade, the California-based firm company be dealing with significant competition in the near future. Several other EV startups, as well as established automakers, have thrown their hats into the electric vehicle race and are expected to release dozens of new EV models over the next five years. For instance, Japanese automotive giant Nissan has now announced that it also plans on investing billions of dollars in electrifying its…
