Declining Lithium Prices Trigger Reductions, Boost EV Affordability

The cost of lithium, a key element in all EV batteries, has significantly decreased, making electric vehicles relatively affordable. This is great news for consumers. However, experts differ on the duration for how long low costs will persist. Several observers were surprised by the sudden changes because they had assumed that the prices would remain high or even increase, impeding the switch to greener transport methods, a crucial step in the fight against global warming. The decline in material costs has made it simpler for automakers to lower the cost of electric cars. For example, this year saw Tesla reduce…

Study Shows Strategic EV Charger Location Could Reduce Power Grid Stress

According to MIT researchers, electric vehicles may have a lesser effect on the electricity grid if charging points are strategically placed and technologies are put in place to start auto charging at scheduled times. Plans at the national and international levels to tackle climate change include raising the amount of electricity produced from renewable energy sources and electrifying more automobiles. However, some forecasts suggest that these developments may necessitate the construction of costly new power facilities to handle power demand surges in the evening hours when automobiles are plugged in after work. Meanwhile, excessive solar panel power output during the…

How Norway Became a Global Example of Rapid EV Penetration

When Magnus Korpas, who lives in Trondheim, purchased a fully electric vehicle for the first time in 2019, he decided on a Tesla since there were multiple charging points nearby at that particular time. However, the government in Norway intervened fast to guarantee that charging stations were accessible and evenly distributed. In 2011, it had spent €7 million ($7.47 million) to install 1,900 charging stations. Unsurprisingly, the professor noted that electric vehicles are a fairly common sight in Norway nowadays. For three years now, Norway has steadfastly worked to transition its fleet to electricity by encouraging customers to purchase electric…
