Buyers Start Reaping the Benefits of Electric Light Delivery Vans

The auto industry is dominated by electric passenger vehicles. However, light delivery vans could profit more from electric vehicles in terms of operating costs and range advantages. Currently, light commercial trucks make up a very small portion of all electric motor vehicles marketed; however, electric vehicles are quite suited to working fleets of vans in a number of ways. Delivery vans and trucks do not require huge, pricey batteries because they frequently travel fixed distances or well-planned routes every day. The majority of them are able to cover a 100-mile distance prior to another charge. One reason why electric vehicles…

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. The bill does not expressly provide for the definition of bidirectionally capable vehicles, but it calls for a working party to be set up by the California Energy Commission and report on the capabilities of different types of vehicles. This might include the…

Tesla to Demolish, Upgrade Fremont Production Line

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is reportedly deconstructing and modernizing its assembly line in Fremont, California, possibly to launch the large-scale manufacturing of one of their newly designed car models. The timing of Tesla's application to tear down “numerous pieces of machinery, tools, and services” at the factory in Fremont coincides with the recent leaks of Project Highland Model 3 pictures, which was spotted on the test track at Fremont, with major interior design alterations.

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. Furthermore, Norway has become a research hub for analyzing how the electric car revolution can change the world. In 2025, the nation will stop selling ICE cars. The experience of Norway demonstrates that EVs have advantages without having the negative effects that some detractors have projected. However, during moments of heavy demand, there are issues with faulty chargers and lengthy waits, and retailers and car dealerships have had to adjust. The switch has rearranged the auto industry, elevating Tesla to the…

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…

Major EV Makers Look to India in Expansion Bid

India is considered by many to be a nation whose impact could increase greatly as the 21st century goes on given its large military, economy, and population. However, the country is yet to catch up in terms of electric vehicle adoption. In the view of the International Energy Agency (IEA), China, the United States and Europe have all become major markets for electric vehicle purchases; the agency reports that more than 50% of the vehicles on Chinese roads are EVs. However, India is still lagging behind. The IEA did note that BEV sales in India increased by four times more…

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…
