UK Regions Vie to Host First EV Battery Gigafactory

The race towards fully electrifying our roads is on, and the UK has announced one of the most ambitious plans for replacing conventional vehicles with electric vehicles (“EVs”). The UK government has announced that it plans to bring forward its ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles from 2040 to 2030 as it looks toward becoming a net-zero economy. As such, numerous regions have been vying for the honor of hosting the UK’s first gigafactory, which will manufacturer electric vehicle batteries. First popularized by American EV maker Tesla, a gigafactory is a large manufacturing facility that can…

3 EV Stocks That Could Challenge Tesla’s Dominance

For more than a decade, the only major player in the electric vehicle (“EV”) space has been Tesla. With an 81% market share in the United States and 15% globally, Tesla is arguably the largest EV company and the most valuable automaker on the globe. Valued at around $300 billion, Tesla surpassed established automakers such as Toyota, General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen. However, despite cornering the U.S. market, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) may be facing steep competition in the future from the following EV stocks. NIO Inc. Like Tesla, NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) has cultivated a cult following by developing…

Electric Motorcycle Sets 11 World Records

The Voxan Wattman was made to break records, and on the morning of Oct. 31, it did just that. Italian rider Max Biaggi rode the bike at the Chateauroux airfield in France, breaking existing global records and setting 11 new ones. Designed by Monegasque electric motorcycle company Voxan, the Voxman Wattman is, in fact, three different bikes in standard, partly streamlined and streamlined form. The bike runs on a 15.9kWh battery that provides 317kW (425hp) of raw power, with dry ice being used to absorb the resultant heat and cool the bike. Instead of a front brake or a parachute,…

Switching to Sustainable Technologies Will Depend on Meticulous Planning

At the moment, many countries are pinning their plans of recovering from the pandemic-induced economic downturn on investments that will be directed towards developing or deepening green technologies, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy. However, the catchy phrases being flashed around will not help the world operate more sustainably if careful planning isn’t directed towards making the leap workable in the long term. For example, making the switch to renewable forms of energy, such as solar and wind energy, to quickly can leave economies at the mercy of the fickle weather. This could have devastating consequences when not enough…

How EVs and Renewable Energy Could Save Our Planet

Societies have made massive strides in their economic development, and one key player in that prosperity has been the automobile. Vehicles transport people to work as well as ferry goods from one point to another. But the current generation of vehicles has come with a massive attendant cost—the magnitude of greenhouse emissions is so great that our very existence is at risk if nothing is done to reverse the current trajectory of climate change. The key to scaling back the damage is not by using less of the current fossil-fuel energy vehicles rely on. Instead, we have got to change…

Motorcycle Manufacturers Unveils Low-Cost Electric Scooter for Urban Use

Not many people think of scooters and motorcycles when the subject of electric vehicles (“EVs”) comes up, but these two-wheeled mobility tools have witnessed a transformation as manufacturers venture into the EV space. Yamaha (OTC: YAMHF) is one of those manufacturers that now offers electric motorcycles as well as electric scooters. The Japanese manufacturer’s newest offering is a scooter that looks similar to the Vesper. Named e-Vino, the scooter is intended for urban use because of its small size as well as its limited range. The pint-sized scooter weighs only 149.9 pounds. This weight bumps up to 163 pounds when…

GM Hiring Staff for Ohio EV Battery Factory

Late last year, General Motors (“GM”) made an announcement that would propel it into the relatively young EV industry. Through a new, equally owned joint venture company called Ultium Cells LLC, GM and LG Chem planned to build a battery gigafactory in Ohio with an annual capacity of 30 GWh; the two firms were investing up to a total of $2.3 billion to build the factory. During the announcement, GM stated that the new gigafactory would create more than 1,100 new employment opportunities. Close to a year later, the automaker is making good on that statement and has started hiring.…

Bentley Plans to Make Only Electric Vehicles by 2030

The United Kingdom was the first major economy to pass a net-zero emissions law, and the country plans on bringing all greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. Several automakers have announced plans to reduce and ultimately stop the production of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles in favor of electric vehicles; recently, British automaker Bentley announced what appears to be the most ambitious plan of all. The luxury carmaker has pledged to stop making all fossil-fueled cars by 2030 in favor of all-electric electric vehicles (“EVs”) with zero carbon-exhaust emissions. Initially, Bentley will stop the production of internal-combustion engine-powered vehicles within the next…

Tapping into Investment Opportunities in EV Industry

The electric vehicle (“EV”) industry represents a significant opportunity for investors. Transportation accounts for 28.2% of all greenhouse emissions, and several governments are set to phase out traditional vehicles over the next two decades. As such, the nascent electric vehicle sector is set to enjoy immense growth in the coming years. So how can investors get a slice of the pie? Invest in established EV makers. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), the most prominent EV manufacturer, currently has a market cap of more than $400 billion, which some say is overvalued. Still, the innovative company is the dominant player in the…

How Energy Companies Can Support EV Popularization

Despite its relative novelty, the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry has made tremendous strides towards cleaning up our roads. Transportation accounts for approximately 28.2% of greenhouse gases worldwide, and several governments are planning on phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles in favor of electric vehicles over the next decade or two to address this. Not only do EVs run on clean, renewable energy, they also produce zero emissions at the tailpipe, making them the perfect vehicle for a net-zero economy. However, we are still a long way from widespread EV adoption. Most consumers are put off by the sometimes very high…
