What the US Can Learn from Norway’s Uptake of EVs

Norway’s world-leading efforts to transition from petrol and diesel-powered cars to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could serve as a lesson to the U.S. While electric vehicles made up just 10% of total vehicle sales in the U.S. last year, data from the Norwegian Road Federation shows that nearly 90% of 2024 vehicle sales in Norway were electric. The Scandinavian country has made significant strides in adopting electric cars and is much closer to achieving its electrification targets than the U.S. The Norwegian government expects new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle sales to drop down to zero this year as the…

Japanese Firm Makes Tiny $7k EV Outselling Toyota EV Models

A Japanese startup has developed a tiny electric car that is rapidly becoming a threat to vehicle manufacturing giant Toyota. Priced at just $7,000, the tiny electric vehicle from KG Motors, a startup based in Higashihiroshima, Japan, is quickly gaining enough popularity to rival electric offerings from Toyota. Dubbed the ‘Mibot,’ the tiny EV is a single-seat vehicle with a top speed of 37 miles per hour and a range of 62 miles. While these specs may seem quite diminutive, most drivers don’t purchase tiny electric cars like the Mibot for their performance. Such vehicles typically thrive in urban regions…

3,000 Mile Range for EVs is Now Possible with New Battery Innovation

Recent innovations in electric vehicle batteries could allow automakers to build electric cars that can travel as much as 3,000 miles on a single charge. Researchers have developed a groundbreaking silicon-based EV battery with the potential to completely transform the global electric vehicle industry by making range anxiety, one of the largest barriers to EV adoption, a total non-factor. Compared to the average petrol- and diesel-powered car, EVs have little range. While an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle driver can simply pull into one of the hundreds of thousands of gas stations dotted across the U.S., electric vehicle drivers have…

Increasing Affordability is Accelerating Global EV Uptake

Electric vehicle adoption is accelerating globally thanks to the growing affordability of electric cars. A recent International Energy Agency (IEA) report has found that although the global auto industry has faced several headwinds in the past few months, electric vehicle sales are growing. Published last month, the Global EV Outlook from the IEA predicted that 2025 will be a good year for electric cars, with EVs accounting for over 25% of all the cars that will be sold worldwide this year. The annual report notes that carmakers sold 17 million electric cars globally in 2024, accounting for slightly over 20%…

Sales of Hybrid Vehicles Are Rising While PHEV, EV Sales Stagnate

Analysis published by Wards Intelligence has revealed that hybrid vehicle sales in the U.S. have continued to rise while battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) sales stagnated and stayed flat. BEVs, hybrids, and PHEVs accounted for roughly 22% of the light-duty cars sold in the U.S. in Q1 2025, up from 18% during the same quarter in 2024, indicating a slight increase in demand for alternative energy vehicles in the U.S. Wards Intelligence data show that while the market share for hybrids in the U.S. is increasing, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles haven’t made any market…

An Overview of Hydrogen Fuel Cell EVs

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles may not have caught on like battery electric vehicles (BEVs), but they may still have a future in transport. While BEVs use charged battery packs, hydrogen fuel cell EVs generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The only byproducts are water vapor and warm air, making them a zero-emission alternative to gas-powered cars. Instead of a lithium-ion battery pack, hydrogen cars rely on electricity from the hydrogen-oxygen reaction to power their motors. However, hydrogen vehicles still face major hurdles before achieving mass adoption. Toyota is the only automaker to make a notable…

US House Votes to Eliminate Electric Vehicle Tax Credits

The Trump administration has fulfilled one of the promises President Donald Trump made during his second presidential campaign: eliminating the federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases. In a move that will undoubtedly have major repercussions for America’s nascent electric vehicle industry, the U.S. House has voted to eliminate federal EV tax credits. These credits of up to $7,500 were critical to boosting electric vehicle adoption in the country, and their loss will significantly affect battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales in the U.S. President Trump was a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s investments in electric vehicles and public charging…

US Senators Block California’s EV Mandate

The United States Senate has blocked a landmark California electric vehicle mandate that would have required the state to phase out gas-powered vehicles in favor of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Although California already has the largest fleet of BEVs in the U.S., the mandate aimed to accelerate electrification by pressuring carmakers to develop more EV models. The current administration has spent the past several months rolling back many of the previous administration's climate-related policies. President Donald Trump has been outspoken in his opposition to using federal funds for climate action and has pledged to reverse Biden-era green energy policies, including…

Honda Ramps Up the Production of Hybrids, Scales Down EVs

Honda Motor has announced that it is scaling back its battery electric vehicle (BEV) investments to focus on producing hybrid cars. Waning demand for electric vehicles, coupled with sluggish EV sales, was the primary driver behind Honda’s decision to pivot to hybrid vehicles. The Japanese automaker isn’t the first company in the automotive space to scale back its EV investments; most established carmakers had ambitious electrification plans but have been forced to lower their targets after EV demand cratered in 2024 amid rising inflation and high electric vehicle prices. Honda has also dropped its target of achieving 30% electric vehicle…

Structural Batteries Could Transform Electric Vehicles

Structural batteries that merge structural strength with battery power could open the door to a new age of electric mobility. Lithium-ion batteries are used to power most electric cars due to their high energy density, longevity, and long life cycles. However, current EV battery technology still has plenty of room for improvement. Modern EV battery packs are heavy, costly, have a moderate risk of catching fire, and often come with repair and maintenance challenges. Ultra-lightweight and powerful batteries that combine battery power with structural strength may be the key to addressing the drawbacks of lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries. Merging these…
