Used Electric Vehicle Prices Continue Slumping

Secondhand electric vehicle prices have maintained their downward trend several weeks after they first fell; they are now costing customers several thousand dollars less compared to similar vehicles with internal combustion engines. For drivers who were interested in switching to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) but were held back by prices, this represents the best time to finally ditch their fossil-fuel powered vehicles and replace them with BEVs. A recent analysis published by iSeeCars has revealed that with the price difference between the BMW 3 Series and a secondhand Tesla Model 3 shrinking rapidly, the premium that has been associated with…

VW to Offer EV Buyers Solar-Panel Option to Cut Charging Costs

Volkswagen has revealed that it is looking to cut electric-vehicle charging costs by offering solar photovoltaic panels to its customers. The German automaker says drivers who take the solar-panel deal will be able to lower their charging costs by up to 40% by using solar energy to supplement their regular charging. Although charging an electric car typically costs less than fueling an internal combustion engine (ICE) over the long-term, installing a home charger can be quite costly and requires dedicated space that a significant portion of drivers don't have. Furthermore, public EV-charging infrastructure is still too insufficient to support mass…

The EU to Announce Tariffs on Chinese EVs Soon

The European Union (EU) is poised to impose tariffs on electric cars manufactured in China to protect European carmakers from cheap Chinese imports. Experts expect EU leaders to inform China that it will levy taxes on battery electric cars imported from the East Asian nation sometime this week, a move that could potentially start a trade war between the regional bloc and China. Many experts believe that once the EU launches the first shot, China will push back with retaliatory measures that affect European exports ranging from cognac to cheese. The EU first took action against Chinese EVs last year…

IEA Unveils Online Tool for Comparing ICE Vehicle Lifetime Emissions to EVs

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has launched an online tool to compare lifetime emissions of different vehicles. The interactive tool will allow users to compare the greenhouse-gas emissions of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) over their entire lifetimes. With this calculator, users will be able to measure greenhouse-gas emissions from the extraction and processing of raw materials to vehicle production, as well as use by customers, granting them an estimate of the direct and indirect emissions created by producing and using different types of cars. It is one of the…

Used EV Sales Surge Despite Dip in New Vehicle Sales

While new electric vehicle sales have been declining for several months amid high interest rates and purchase prices, green-energy proponents could draw some comfort from the fact that consumers are turning to the used-EV market in droves. Thanks to a confluence of factors, including falling prices in the secondhand electric-vehicle market along with tax breaks, used EVs are seeing a resurgence in sales. Buying a used vehicle is the only way most American drivers will be able to own an EV. With the average new electric car costing at least $10,000 more than a similar fossil-fuel vehicle, the majority of…

Study Shows UK Drivers Have Limited Options of Used EVs

A report by Auto Trader has found that the used-vehicle market in the United Kingdom has a shortage of affordable electric cars. According to Auto Trader, just 10,000 of the second-hand EVs on its online marketplace are currently trading at under £15,000 ($19,000), compared to a whopping 350,000 used fossil-fuel cars within the same price range. For the average consumer, the lack of affordable used electric vehicles is a nigh-immovable roadblock to EV ownership. New electric-vehicle prices are still too high for regular drivers and high interest rates coupled with rising living costs have made it even more costly to…

Small EVs Could Break Dominance of SUVs

Micro-electric vehicles could be the smoking gun that finally breaks the dominance of SUVs (sports utility vehicles) on American roads. Unlike consumers in the European Union, American drivers have repeatedly shown that they prefer larger vehicles, such as SUVs and pickup trucks, over smaller cars, making them less likely to purchase regular-sized electric cars. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that sports utility vehicles accounted for a whopping 50% of global vehicle sales last year. Demand for SUVs and similar large vehicles is on the rise, and the IEA notes that the transition to “larger and heavier” vehicles is one…

US Data Suggests EV Demand Slowdown Could Be Shortlived

The recent drop in electric vehicle demand that has left many automakers rethinking their electrification plans may be short-lived. New data shows that while the drop in EV sales may have forced major carmakers such as General Motors (GM) and Ford to scale down their plans amid mounting losses in their electric car divisions, the slowdown may not be as bad and won't last as long as previously predicted. To help cut emissions from the transportation segment, the Biden administration invested tens of billions of dollars into developing America's nascent electric-vehicle sector and building a network of public charging infrastructure…
