Ernst & Young Believes EVs Could Dominate Roads Five Years Sooner

Most developed countries are hoping for electric vehicle (“EV”) sales to surpass the sale of internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles over the next couple of decades. The United States, China and Europe are currently the largest EV markets in the world, but save for Norway and Southern Chinese city Liuzhou, EV sales in most territories make up a small percentage of total vehicle sales. As such, most of these countries have given themselves years, and in some cases decades, to slowly replace ICE vehicles with zero-emission electric cars. However, new research from Ernst & Young says that these counties may…

NYC Starts Installing Curbside EV Charging Stations

The United States plans on becoming a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, and for a while now, the nation has been pushing for its citizens to adopt electric vehicles. Although electric vehicles (“EVs”) make up a small percentage of the cars on American roads, more people are willing to buy them in exchange for petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. However, one thing that has held plenty of drivers back and prevented EV drivers from using their vehicles without anxiety, is the insufficient and often unreliable network of public charging stations. New York City, for instance, has nearly 15,000 registered electric vehicles but…

Pew Research Shows US EV Sector Growing Slower Than China’s

The past few years have seen the United States make commendable steps towards achieving its carbon emission goals. More people than ever are purchasing zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”), and several American automakers have unveiled several electric vehicle models, with some of them planning on going fully electric within the next few decades. In addition, the largest EV maker in the game is based in the U.S. However, America's nascent EV sector pales in comparison to China, which is the world's largest electric vehicle market, and recent research shows that the Chinese EV sector is growing at a faster rate than…

Why EVs Are Heavier Than Conventional Vehicles

It's common knowledge that modern vehicles, despite all the advancements that have been made in both hardware and software, are a less sturdy than the cars of old. You've probably seen pictures of car crashes where an old pickup truck or other such vehicle stands completely unscathed amid the wreckage of a modern vehicle. Electric vehicles (“EVs”), by virtue of being much heavier than their petrol- and diesel-powered counterparts, represent a similar risk to other drivers whenever they hit the roads. Unlike conventional vehicles that are powered by internal combustion engines, electric vehicles ditch the fossil-fuel-powered engines for rechargeable lithium-ion…

Aluminum-Based EV Batteries Could Revolutionize the Industry

Ironically, an electric vehicle's greatest strength is also one of its biggest weaknesses. Rather than internal combustion engines, electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs. But while EV batteries produce zero emissions, they are quite expensive to manufacture, are not very energy dense, and take quite a while to charge, making EVs much more expensive and leaving most prospective EV drivers filled with range anxiety. However, a new type of battery technology developed in Australia could allay these fears and completely revolutionize the nascent electric vehicle industry. Graphene Manufacturing Group (“GMG”) based in Brisbane, Australia, has developed aluminum-ion…
