However, internal-combustion-engine- (“ICE”) powered SUVs grew in popularity as well, effectively canceling out the progress the world had made as it pushes towards electrification. According to energy modelers Laura Cozzi and Apostolos Petropoulos, the ever-present demand for sports utility vehicles is making it much harder to reduce carbon emissions…

A Peek into the Technology Keeping EV Cabins Quiet

After experiencing years of noisy cabins courtesy of internal combustion engine vehicles, most drivers who go green are often surprised by how quiet the cabins of electric vehicles (“EVs”) are. EVs have eliminated not just carbon emissions but sound pollution as well. Conventional vehicles are powered by a combustion engine, which can be quite loud, but electric vehicles rely on a much quieter electric motor for propulsion. Unfortunately, without a loud combustion engine drowning everything out, ambient road noise is much more obvious inside the cabin. To eliminated this noise, EV makers have been using technology similar to what makes…

Kenya Wildlife Conservation Efforts to Benefit from Donation of New Electric Safari Vehicle

The shift to electric vehicles (“EVs”) began at a relatively slow rate with offerings such as the Tesla Roadster, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Nissan Leaf.

Incentives and rebates from utilities, vehicle dealerships and the federal government have made EVs much more affordable, and in the long run, they cost less to fuel and maintain. Still, plenty of drivers won’t make the switch because they worry about running out of power in the middle of nowhere, miles from the nearest charger. Range anxiety is a major issue, and while…
