Hybrid EV Models Help Li Auto Outsell Tesla in China

The China Passenger Car Association has revealed that Chinese startup Li Auto outsold Tesla in its local market last month. While Tesla sells fully electric cars in China, limiting itself to consumers who are only interested in electric cars, Li Auto sells hybrid SUVs equipped with a fuel tank to charge the battery. This likely contributed to the startup selling a record 40,422 vehicles last month, far more than the 28,626 battery electric cars (BEVs) sold in October. Range anxiety is a major barrier to electric vehicle adoption in most EV markets, even in China, which has the widest network…

Automaker Wants to Equip EVs with Generators to Combat Range Anxiety

An automaker is looking to alleviate range anxiety, one of the largest barriers to electric vehicle adoption, by equipping electric cars with generators. Range anxiety refers to the fear of running out of power while on the road with no charging station in sight, and many American drivers cite it as one of their main reasons for not switching to EVs. Ram, a brand by automaker Stellantis, has introduced an electric pickup truck dubbed the Ramcharger, which comes equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 combustion engine and a generator to recharge the onboard battery while the pickup truck is moving. This…

Study Finds Motorists Cover Fewer Miles Annually in EVs Compared to ICE Vehicles

Like many other developed nations around the globe, the United States plans to decarbonize its economy as part of efforts to mitigate global warming and stop climate change. This will require mass adoption of electric vehicles, alternative energy cars that use rechargeable batteries rather than fossil fuel to run. Electric cars still make up a relatively small percentage of total vehicle sales in the U.S., but Americans are adopting EVs in steadily increasing numbers. According to a recent study published in “Joule,” it seems that America’s growing number of EV owners may be driving fewer miles per year compared to…

Five Ways to Maximize Efficiency, Range in Your EV

Aside from price, electric vehicle range is one of the key metrics drivers consider before switching from gas-powered cars to battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Range refers to the distance an electric car can travel on a single charge and is affected by a battery’s maximum capacity as well as factors such as weather and driver habits. The average electric vehicle driver is interested in optimizing their EV’s performance and maximizing the range, especially if they rely on public charging infrastructure. This allows them to travel further on a single charge and limits the need for constant stops at public charging…

Rich Millennials View EVs as a Status Symbol

Electric vehicles are becoming a status symbol among wealthy millennials in America. While high EV prices have kept a majority of U.S. drivers from purchasing electric cars, the nation’s millennials are taking to EVs despite their often exorbitant prices. According to a J.D Power Survey, 72% of millennials expressed interest in purchasing an EV, with 37% being “highly likely” to buy an electric vehicle as their next car. A trip to affluent Silicon Valley neighborhoods will reveal white Teslas parked on nearly every block. With 42% of all electric cars in America being sold in California, the state represents the…

IRS Unveils Portal Allowing Dealerships to Give EV Buyers Access to Tax Credits

The Internal Revenue Service has unveiled a portal that will allow prospective electric vehicle buyers to access EV tax credits at the point of sale. Car dealers can now dole out EV tax credits of up to $7,500 when customers on-site buy electric cars by registering with a website called Energy Credits Online. This could potentially alleviate an issue that has kept many drivers from purchasing EVs even when they have access to federal tax credits. Rather than providing EV buyers with cash at the point of sale, the U.S. government would provide tax credits once tax season rolled around,…

Teslas, Chevrolets Top List of EVs Used by Fleets

With consumers becoming less interested in purchasing electric vehicles thanks to issues such as range anxiety and high prices, fleets have quickly become a major market for electric vehicle companies. Rather than developing EVs with the hope of selling them individually on the market, EV companies such as Tesla are hedging their bets by partnering with company fleets to produce hundreds or even thousands of EVs for only a few customers. Data shows that Tesla and Chevrolet have seen the greatest success in the EV fleet segment. Major customers in this segment include corporate and government fleets as well as…

Why EV Sales May Be Slowing Down

The nascent electric vehicle industry is currently experiencing a sales decline that has forced many carmakers to either cut back or delay EV production. For the majority of the industry’s existence, extremely limited supply coupled with high demand allowed carmakers such as Tesla to charge a high premium for their offerings. However, with several established automakers and startups flooding the EV market with new EV models, electric vehicle supply seems to have finally surpassed the demand. Many automakers are now rethinking their electrification plans in the wake of reduced EV demand and adjusting their EV strategies. General Motors is ditching…

Maryland Scientists Discover Novel Battery Design That Could Curb EV Fires, Boost Power Density

Scientists from the University of Maryland have discovered a novel battery design that could increase EV battery density while reducing the risk of electric vehicle fires. Although the research team will have to address various cost and design issues before scaling up the technology, they have tentative plans to roll the new batteries out commercially by 2026. While lithium-ion batteries have proven their power capability in consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops, applying them to electric cars has presented several challenges. This includes limited capacity, which limits overall range and negatively impacts EV adoption, and a risk of…
