3 Factors to Consider When Buying Second-Hand Electric Vehicles

Whether you’re a prospective vehicle buyer or already own a conventional vehicle, you have probably heard of electric vehicles. The answer to drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint, electric vehicles (“EV”) run on clean, renewable energy, and produce zero emissions. On top of that, they are cheaper to fuel (charge) and maintain over the long run compared to traditional internal combustion-powered vehicles. Unfortunately, new EVs come with a pretty hefty price tag, with the cost being one of the main barriers to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Even the most affordable electric vehicles sell for between $30,000…

And for the most part, it’s not that hard to keep your toaster, television, or hairdryer away from water. But what if you are driving an electric vehicle (“EV”) and have to charge in the rain? Electric vehicles are set to phase out internal combustion vehicles over the next decade or two. Although the technology behind EVs is decades old, the industry is still…

Cities Resort to Online Electric Car Education amid the Pandemic

Most developed countries are in a race to achieve net-zero emissions by the next decade or two. One aspect of achieving zero emissions is by phasing out internal combustion vehicles for electric cars. Though the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry has made a lot of progress in a few short years, it still has a long way to go before widespread EV adoption. EVs run on clean energy, produce zero emissions, and are generally cheaper to run and maintain than conventional vehicles, but customers have been wary of switching to green energy due to a few legitimate concerns and just a…

At What Speed Should You Charge Your EV Batteries?

Electric vehicles represent the next frontier of vehicular travel. Thanks to powerful battery packs, electric vehicles run on clean energy and produce minimal to zero emissions, making them the perfect vehicle for customers who are conscious of their carbon footprints. For customers who switch from carbon powered vehicles, especially those who’ve used conventional vehicles for years, taking a crash course on EV batteries and charging is crucial. Unlike traditional vehicles that run on carbon fuel, electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs. To refuel a carbon fuel-powered vehicle, all you need to do is head to a gas…

India Intends to Inject Nearly $5 Billion in EV Battery Incentives to Boost Sector

At this point, plenty of governments have recognized that phasing out internal combustion-engine vehicles in favor of electric cars is inevitable if they wish to avoid climate disasters. As temperatures rise, ice shelves melt and wildfires burn, the need for alternative energy that is clean, renewable and doesn’t produce emissions has become crucial. And while electric cars check many of these boxes, most countries are still a long way from widespread adoption of EVs. In many territories, that can be attributed to high purchase prices coupled with poor battery and charging infrastructure, and some governments are already working at eliminating…

California Governor Promotes Switch to Electric Vehicles

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to bury our heads in the sand in regard to climate change. The earth is hurtling towards a ‘hothouse’ state not seen in 50 million years and a lot of the blame lies at the feet of humanity. Perhaps the most obvious sign of climate change is that it’s getting hotter and according to scientists, the next three years might be even hotter than normal. No state has experienced the heat as much as California; five of the largest wildfires in state history have been ignited in recent weeks, and residents have become accustomed to rolling…

Why an EV’s Actual Range May Vary from the EPA’s Estimate

Over the past few years, the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry has enjoyed plenty of mainstream attention. As governments move towards net zero carbon emissions over the next decade or two, electric cars will represent the next big step in vehicular travel. Powered by rechargeable batteries, EVs produce zero emissions and run on clean renewable energy. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) is charged with testing and rating the fuel economy of all road-going vehicles, electric vehicles included. Like traditional vehicles, EPA estimates on fuel economy for electric vehicles tend to vary compared to real-world fuel economy. According to…
