China’s CATL Unveils a Sodium-Ion Battery Lineup

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has launched a brand new lineup of sodium-ion batteries dubbed Naxtra as well as a second generation of its first charging Shenxing electric vehicle battery. According to CATL, the new lineup of Naxtra batteries will begin mass production in December. Most battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on the market currently use lithium ion battery packs but there has been a notable push to develop alternative EV batteries that are more energy dense and are less likely to combust. CATL was the first large auto battery maker to introduce the sodium-ion battery, a new type…

Horse Powertrain Seeks to Hybridize EVs

As the auto industry adjusts to a future likely dominated by hybrids, a company called Horse Powertrain has created a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) retrofit package that allows automakers to develop hybrids and electric cars on the same assembly lines. This new technology could usher in a new generation of hybrid electric vehicles featuring both a battery and a combustion engine, but in a different configuration from traditional PHEVs. Designed as a drop-in replacement for front-wheel-drive electric vehicles, the hybridization system can be bolted directly onto a vehicle’s subframe and integrated into existing electrical systems with minimal modification. The…

Why EVs Help in Combating Climate Change

Despite the challenges that the electric vehicle industry has faced in recent months, most experts agree that EVs will have a notable effect on global greenhouse gas emissions. By replacing the conventional internal combustion engine with a battery pack and electric drivetrain, automakers can cut down tailpipe emissions to zero, allowing the auto industry to significantly reduce its impact on the environment. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of obstacles preventing widespread electric vehicle adoption. In addition to the incredibly high cost of purchasing a new EV, the current Trump administration is systematically removing Biden-era policies that supported electric vehicle purchases…

Social Leasing Programs Could Improve EV Affordability in Europe

Drivers in Europe could afford battery electric vehicles (BEVs) if they had access to social leasing programs, some experts say. Prohibitively high prices have placed electric cars out of reach for most drivers in major vehicle markets, limiting EVs to affluent consumers with disposable income and hindering the broader transition to electric mobility. Although Europe is a world leader in electric vehicle adoption, there is still plenty of room for growth. Launching social leasing programs could allow Europeans who cannot afford EVs at current prices to access them without breaking the bank. This could accelerate electric vehicle adoption across the…

German Study Finds Electric Vehicles More Reliable Than Conventional Vehicles

A study conducted by the German automobile club Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC) has found that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are more resistant to breaking down compared to similarly aged internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. The ADAC study found that gas-powered vehicles typically suffer two and a half times more breakdowns than EVs, suggesting that electric cars are more reliable than traditional vehicles over the long term. ADAC maintains a database containing records of all the vehicle breakdowns handled by the association’s “Yellow Angel” service responders. This database has expanded significantly year after year, allowing for an in-depth analysis of breakdown…

EU, China to Consider Setting Baseline EV Prices

A European Commission spokesperson has revealed that the European Union (EU) and China are considering setting baseline prices for electric cars manufactured in China. Negotiations between Beijing and Brussels commenced last week and could lead to a resolution that allows Chinese automakers to export their electric vehicles to Europe without facing hefty import tariffs. The German newspaper Handelsblatt also reported that China and the EU have agreed to explore the possibility of setting minimum EV prices for units originating from China, potentially ending a dispute that could have untold consequences for both China and Europe's auto markets. Germany, in particular,…

China Registers 37% Surge in Domestic EV Sales in March

A report from CnEVPost.com revealed that domestic electric vehicle sales in China surged by 37% in March. China leads the world in electric vehicle sales thanks to its massive population’s demand for electric vehicles, and a fiercely competitive industry that has kept electric cars low cost and affordable for a majority of the population. Compared to drivers in Western countries, Chinese drivers are purchasing new energy vehicles such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell cars at an incredibly rapid pace. CnEVPost.com reports that this resulted in a 37% increase in electric vehicle…

UK to Hit the Brakes on its EV Mandate After Trump Announced Tariffs

The United Kingdom is expected to relax its electric vehicle rules following a recent wave of U.S. tariffs. With President Donald Trump imposing tariffs on nearly all U.S. trade partners via executive order, the UK government has announced it will ease the country's EV sales targets to avoid placing undue pressure on its auto industry. Electrifying the auto sector is a critical step in reducing the UK's greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. As the third-largest EV market globally, the U.S. was expected to play a major role in supporting the UK's electrification efforts by importing electric cars from…

Study Shows Switching to EVs Could Slash Childhood Asthma Prevalence

A recent University of Toronto study has found that replacing gas-powered vehicles with zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) could significantly reduce the number of childhood asthma cases. The researchers concluded that replacing just 50% of all petrol and diesel cars with EVs could meaningfully cut asthma rates attributed to vehicle exhaust. Gas-powered cars, which burn fossil fuels, are a major source of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Exhaust fumes from these vehicles are linked to nearly one-third of all new childhood asthma cases each year. Previous studies have consistently shown that car exhaust poses a serious public health risk,…

How the Inflation Reduction Act is Promoting Job Creation in the American EV Industry

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has been instrumental in creating new jobs in America’s growing electric vehicle (EV) industry. Passed in 2022 by the Biden administration, the landmark measure invested heavily in EV production and infrastructure, dedicating tens of billions of dollars to deploying public charging stations and supporting domestic EV manufacturing. The IRA provided both manufacturers and consumers with financial incentives to boost EV production and encourage the transition from fossil fuel-powered cars to EVs. These incentives have stimulated major investments in electric vehicle and EV battery manufacturing, positioning the U.S. as a leader in clean energy and creating…
