Exxon Mobil Prepares for Pivot as EVs Threaten to End Demand for Gasoline

The fate of many oil producers was sealed in stone when the global community pledged to replace fossil-fuel vehicles with zero-emission battery electric vehicles. While it was unlikely that these companies would fold as the world moved away from fossil fuels, oil producers would have to pivot their entire business strategies to stay in line with global climate change goals. Exxon Mobil, one of the largest international publicly traded gas and oil companies, is one of the fossil-fuel producers adjusting its strategy to fit in an EV-dominant future. The Houston, Texas-headquartered company recently announced that it would shift from its…

EU Wants e-Fuel Vehicles Climate-Neutral for Sales to Continue

The European Union is poised to set a requirement that e-fuel vehicles sold beyond 2035 be 100% carbon neutral. A draft document revealed that vehicles powered by e-fuels will have to be completely climate neutral in order to be sold in EU member nations. The EU’s current climate policies require that all vehicles sold in the regional bloc from 2035 have zero carbon emissions at the tailpipe. However, although all EU member nations agreed to the climate policy this year, Germany argued that e-fuel cars should be exempted from the policy banning the sale of new CO2-emitting vehicles from 2035.…

What China’s EV Graveyards Can Teach the EV Industry

China’s electric vehicle market is the largest and most competitive on the globe, attracting hundreds of electric vehicle startups and achieving an unprecedented rate of electric vehicle adoption. Significant government support, coupled with intense competition, has enabled EV prices in China to drop to unprecedented levels, resulting in a surge in EV purchases in China and the European market. However, a flurry of reports over the past month has indicated that the world’s largest electric vehicle market is also home to graveyards for abandoned EVs. Recent news articles and videos have shown that thousands to tens of thousands of electric…

EV Prices Drop as Inventory Levels Grow

After more than a decade of high electric vehicle prices, oversupply in the nascent EV market is causing EV prices to plummet. Average Tesla prices have fallen by close to 20% over the past year, and other EV makers in other major markets are cutting their prices to remain competitive in an increasingly saturated market. For the majority of the electric vehicle industry’s lifetime, electric cars have been significantly more expensive than comparable fossil fuel-powered cars. This has undoubtedly hampered EV adoption among most drivers and limited electric vehicle ownership to the select few with plenty of disposable income. However,…

Why Oil Production Grows Despite Accelerating EV Uptake

Despite a recent surge in electric vehicle purchases in major markets such as Europe, the United States and China, data shows that global oil production is still rising. Replacing fossil fuel cars with EVs represents a core component of worldwide efforts to combat climate change because electric vehicles do not use fossil fuels or produce tailpipe emissions. Factors such as high purchase prices and range anxiety have consistently hampered EV adoption, but a recent drop in the prices of major electric vehicle brands such as Tesla has spurred an increase in EV purchases. However, even though EV adoption is on…
