Ferrari Will Launch First EV in 2025

In what appears to be a 180-degree change of position, sports car maker Ferrari has announced that it plans to release its first fully electric vehicle in 2025. This is much earlier than its previous statements on the matter had indicated. During the Italian company’s annual meeting held last week, Ferrari chair John Elkann announced that the company would unveil its first EV mid this decade. Elkann’s announcement was despite the fact that, less than six months earlier, Louis Camilleri, who was then CEO of Ferrari, had emphatically stated that the Prancing Horse would never transition into a fully electric…

On April 15, Mercedes announced that it is finally throwing its hat into the EV game…

Huawei Aims to Invest $1 Billion in EVs

The past few years have been pretty rough for Huawei. For quite a while, the Chinese telecommunications company had been at the top of the game alongside Samsung and Apple, but after former President Donald Trump began focusing on the company, things went downhill quickly. The Chinese tech giant has since faced a wide variety of U.S. sanctions that have almost crippled its operations and removed it from its lofty perch at the top of the telecommunications sector. In a bid to diversify and keep the profits coming, Huawei has now pledged to invest $1 billion in partnership with major…

EV Groups in Canadian Province Protest New Annual Tax

As 2020 drew to a close, the state of Victoria in Australia announced plans to introduce a new road user tax for electric vehicles (“EVs”). According to officials, drivers with conventional gas and diesel-powered vehicles paid to maintain the roads via a national excise tax on fuel, and this new tax was designed to ensure EV drivers paid their fair share as well. The proposed annual tax was immediately condemned by the electric vehicle industry and environmental groups who said it would be detrimental to Australia’s fledgling EV sector. This past Saturday, two electric vehicle groups held separate demonstrations protesting…

These EV Makers Are Betting Their Future on Tiny Cars

Americans love their big cars. With North Americans buying more sports utility vehicles (“SUVs”) than they do cars, the SUVs have been flying off dealers’ lots for quite a while. Consequently, as the automotive industry has started shifting towards electrification, most EV makers have tried their hand at developing an electric SUV to cater to the pickup truck-loving masses. In China, however, drivers have overwhelmingly taken to the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV, a tiny EV that has taken the Chinese market by storm and is even outselling Tesla’s Model 3. Several automakers have taken note of the trend, developing…

Volkswagen to Support Grids by Including V2G in EVs

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to overhaul the transportation sector from an industry with one of the highest rates of carbon emissions to one that relies on zero-emission vehicles powered by green, renewable energy. The average electric vehicle runs on electricity and produces zero-emission at the tailpipe, making it the perfect vehicle for a green economy. In a bid to ensure renewable energy generated through wind turbines is not lost to the ether, German automaker Volkswagen is now looking to install vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”) technology in its vehicles. According to German news agency Handelsblatt, Germany loses as much as 6,500 gigawatt-hours…
