EVs Outsell Diesel Vehicles in Europe for First Time

Interest in electric vehicles (“EVs”) has been on the rise for the past couple of years. With several territories across the world looking to replace fossil-fuel-powered vehicles with a cleaner alternative, electric vehicles have emerged as the clear winner. Since they are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries rather than internal combustion engines, EVs produce zero emissions. But while the technology is extremely popular, electric vehicle sales haven’t been that great in the United States. Europe, on the other hand, has made amazing strides in adopting zero-emission vehicles, so much so that in December, electric vehicles outsold petrol and diesel-powered cars.…

That honor belongs to a variety of Chinese companies. The only American automaker currently benefiting from the Chinese…

Volkswagen Determined to Double EV Sales in China

Despite being the world’s largest vehicle market, China has been notoriously difficult for Western carmakers to penetrate. The electric vehicle (“EV”) revolution has presented an attractive opportunity, allowing carmakers to enter the Chinese market with relatively good results. Volkswagen AG, for instance, partnered with Shanghai, China-based SAIC Motor and FAW Group in Changchun, Jilin, China to build the ID electric vehicle series. The German automaker is looking to double sales in China this year after selling 70,625 of its ID electric cars in 2021. This was nearly 10,000 EVs short of Volkswagen’s goal to sell 80,000 to 100,000 electric vehicles…

US Registers Record Sales of Hybrid EVs

Battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) are all the rage right now. While electric vehicles (“EVs”) may not be filling up American roads just yet, most automakers have plans to electrify their lineups, and at least 23% of Americans are considering buying an electric car as their next vehicle. With the Unites States looking to cut its carbon emissions in a bid to arrest climate change, battery-electric cars are poised to take over our roads.

Sony Announces Plans to Start EV Firm

The next generation of vehicles will be nothing like we’ve ever seen before.

Interestingly, this revolution hasn’t been limited to just automakers; companies outside the automotive space have shown plenty of interest in electric vehicles. In a surprising move, Japanese multinational…

EVs Commanded 65% Market Share in Norway in 2021

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) may be among the most popular emerging technologies, but we are still a long way from mass adoption. Although several countries around the world have pledged to transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to zero-emission electric cars in a bid to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, EVs still make a very small percentage of total vehicle sales. This is mainly due to their high upfront costs as well as limited public charging infrastructure. Norway, however, is leading the charge on EV adoption. Although the Scandinavian country makes for a small market in terms of raw numbers, especially when…
