San Diego Manufacturer Starts Taking Orders for EV That Doesn’t Need Charging

Back in 2011, San Diego automotive startup Aptera announced that it wouldn’t be able to produce any vehicles until it got sufficient funding. The firm had been seeking government funding to accelerate the production of its three-wheeled, eco-friendly prototypes, but it was held back by miles of red tape. Close to a decade later, Aptera is back in the game, offering an innovative electric vehicle that could forever change the fledgling electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. Aptera has announced the introduction of the first solar electric vehicle in the industry that can be recharged with only solar energy; the car has…

European EV Sales Reach 500,000-Unit Milestone in 2020

The world is slowly working towards fully electrifying its roads, and Europe is leading the charge. Although the continent is behind China in terms of global market share, several European countries have announced plans to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles over the next few decades. This year alone, car makers in Europe have sold more than 500,000 battery-powered electric cars, despite the coronavirus pandemic and an historic economic crisis. According to data collated by Schmidt Automotive Research, more than 1 million plug-in cars, including hybrids, were sold in the UK as well as Europe’s 17…

Why EV Makers Are Paying Special Attention to Electric Pickup Trucks

Over the past decade, electric vehicles have slowly left the realm of obscurity and entered the mainstream consciousness. They are now poised to take over the roads, with several governments pledging to phase out the production of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in favor of EVs over the next couple of decades. As the nascent EV industry spreads its wings, several EV makers have their sights on one particular vehicle type: the electric pickup trucks. Tesla shocked the world when it announced its new electric pickup, the Cybertruck, back in 2019. General Motors has invested quite a bit on a…

Advocacy Group Says Canada Can Only Meet Climate Change Targets If it Manufactures EVs

The automotive world is headed towards electrification, and several countries have announced plans to fully electrify their roads over the next few decades. Canada, however, is facing a unique challenge. The country has seen a 37% (approximately a million vehicles per year) drop in vehicle manufacturing over the past two years, but curiously carbon emissions have increased by nearly 30%. Turns out Canadians are partial to SUVs and trucks that guzzle a lot of fuel and emit a lot of carbon. Canada has been ranked at the top for tailpipe emissions, but despite the increase in vehicle pollution, vehicle manufacturing has…

Proposed EV Tax in Australian State Could Jeopardize EV Adoption

Australia hasn’t made a lot of progress towards electrifying its roads. While countries such as the UK, France and Germany have set clear targets for banning the sale of new internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles, Australia’s climate politics has been described by some as “broken.” The country currently has a paltry 20,000 electric vehicles on the road, and only 0.6% of new cars sold in the country are electric. Now the state of Victoria is planning to introduce a road user tax for electric vehicles (“EVs”) that has the potential to cripple the EV industry before it even takes off.…

New Feature Could Further Ease Using an Electric Vehicle

Although the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry is relatively new, it is poised to take over our roads in the not-so-distant future. Several countries have pledged to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles over the next couple of decades, with European countries such as Norway and the Netherlands announcing the most ambitious plans. However, EV adoption is still far from universal, with drivers stating that high costs and uncertainty about charging and range prevent them from switching to EVs. However, thanks to a new charging standard developed by SAE International, previously the Society of Automotive Engineers, owning an…

Climate Change Group Calls for Ending PHEV Subsidies

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to take over the roads over the next two decades. As the effects of human-induced climate change have become more apparent, several governments have revealed plans to replace internal-combustion engine vehicles with zero-emission battery electric vehicles. For the longest time, plug-in hybrid cars (“PHEVs”) were thought to be the gap between conventional vehicles and EVs. Powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor coupled with a rechargeable battery, these vehicles would allow consumers to gradually switch to zero-emission vehicles. However, it has recently come to light that PHEVs may not be as…
