California Considers Bill Mandating V2G Technology for EVs

In California, a measure has been presented that would mandate that all electric vehicles have the capacity to charge in both directions beginning with the model year 2027. The California Senate bill, SB 233, which was introduced by Nancy Skinner, senator of the Oakland area near Tesla's Fremont plant, has been endorsed by a range of organizations.

This might include the…

Solid-State Batteries Could Revolutionize EVs

Despite the fact that there are many different kinds of electric cars becoming more and more popular all over the world, their range and the batteries’ potential for powering different kinds of vehicles are both constrained. Batteries are the key to the future of electric cars. The whole world would potentially accept electric vehicles if battery technology could outperform gasoline in terms of range, how they perform and effectiveness. Li-ion batteries are the current mode of power for all electric vehicles. However, these batteries have great limitations. Therefore manufacturers are focusing on solid-state batteries as a more viable option. It…

Norway Shows How EV-Dominated Future Will Be

In 2022, Norway was at the forefront of the transition to battery-powered mobility owing to its 80% EV sales.

Survey Shows Americans Want EVs with 300-Mile Range

Last year, Bloomberg Green conducted a survey which established that only a paltry 10% of all Americans would be comfortable buying an e-vehicle whose range didn’t exceed 200 miles. While many people may be quick to criticize this preference exhibited by Americans, a deeper analysis shows that consumers are more acutely aware of a number of factors pertinent to their driving needs. For example, the average American travels 14,500 miles each year. This figure is approximately 33% higher than the average distance covered each year by motorists in other countries around the world. It would, therefore, be reasonable for Americans…

As More Carmakers Prefer Selling SUVs, Environmental Concerns Rise

A key component of President Joe Biden's strategy to address the climate catastrophe is electrifying the massive fleet of vehicles in the United States. This objective, however, is in danger of being undermined by the exploding size of EVs, which are displacing smaller, more cost-effective vehicles that use less of the environment's resources. In the past week, GM revealed that it would be ending production of the Chevy Bolt later this year. The Bolt is smaller and the most affordable of the greener electric vehicles available, with prices under $30,000. This price is in addition to qualifying for a $7,500…
