Solar Farms Could Give Aging EV Batteries a Second Life

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) represent the next frontier of vehicular travel. Powered by rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs, these vehicles produce zero emissions at the tailpipe, making them the ideal vehicle for a green economy. However, lithium-ion batteries lose their capacity over time, and by the time they hit 80% of their original range, they don’t have enough juice to avail the energy needed to propel an EV. As demand for and adoption of EVs increases, we will most likely see an influx of such used batteries. According to a new study, these batteries still have plenty of life left in them,…

Are Power Grids in Cities Ready for Widespread EV Uptake?

As part of a global push to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, several governments, cities and states have issued bans against the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles in favor of electric vehicles (“EVs”). Europe undoubtedly leads the race towards electrifying its roads thanks to its ambitious ICE vehicle bans, with at least seven European countries pledging to ban the sale of new ICE vehicles over the next 30 years. But as EV adoption increases over time, will power grids in cities be able to handle the increased demand for electricity? The European Union saw a 122% increase…

Gov. Cuomo Unveils Largest EV Charging Station

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) represent a future most governments are looking to. The vehicles are powered by clean, renewable energy with zero emissions at the tailpipe, making EVs the perfect vehicle for a carbon-neutral economy. However, electric vehicles are still a long way from widespread adoption, and one of the reasons consumers shy away from the technology is due to insufficient and often unreliable public-charging facilities. That may soon be a thing of the past in New York. As part of an effort by the New York Power Authority, together with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to…

Are EV Makers Assuming Too Much Regarding Battery Prices?

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to replace internal-combustion-engine vehicles over the next couple of decades. EVs run on clean, renewable energy and produce minimal emissions at the tailpipe, but there’s one caveat: they are too expensive for most consumers. Unlike internal-combustion-engine vehicles, EVs are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that require minerals such as cobalt, nickel, lithium, and manganese to function. These minerals need to be mined, processed and converted into pure chemical compounds before use in batteries — a process that can cost a pretty penny. The consensus has been that, over time, battery prices would fall, making it…

Germany to Leapfrog California as Biggest EV Market

The race towards electrifying the roads is on, and for the most part, Europe has been ahead of the pack. Several countries around the globe have set timelines to ban the sale of new internal-combustion-engine (“ICE”) vehicles; most of those countries are in Europe, including France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark, among others. In September, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that by 2035, every new car sold in the state would be emission free, a move that could make California one of the largest electric vehicle (“EV”) markets on the globe. Germany, however, is poised to surpass California, home…

How to Minimize the Cost of Insuring Your Electric Vehicle

The age of electric travel is fast approaching. As the effects of human-caused global warming have become more apparent, several governments have pledged to phase out the sale of new internal-engine (ICE) vehicles to reduce emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs), despite running on clean energy and producing zero emissions at the tail pipe, are quite expensive. And even if you can afford to purchase an EV, you’ll have to contend with insurance costs, which tend to be higher than traditional vehicles. A new report from Self Financial found that, on average, EVs are $442 more expensive to insure, with the average…

Lessons EV Makers Can Learn from Tesla Inc.’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) Success

In the late 2000s, Tesla released the Roadster, a limited-production sports car that paved the way for the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. More than a decade later, the pioneering EV maker has undoubtedly shifted the automotive industry towards electric vehicles. Several EV start-ups are constantly offering innovative products and large automakers such as General Motors and Volkswagen have started producing electric vehicles. So how has Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), a firm that produces super-expensive EVs managed to become the most valuable car company in the world?
