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…

Could IoT Address Buyer Concerns About EVs?

Even with the governments stating that by 2030, 50% of total sales of newly purchased cars should be electric vehicles and companies making significant goals for turning mostly electric, there appear to be roadblocks in the way. For instance, both the private and public sectors will need to invest billions of dollars in charging points and batteries, as well as automobiles. A scarcity of charging points, electric vehicle travel range anxiety, and the expense of finding, acquiring, and maintaining the developing machines all contribute to the slowdown in EV adoption. However, the industry hopes to quickly allay the majority of…

Scientists Scramble to Address Cold Weather Performance Issues in EV Batteries

Researchers are working hard to develop novel battery technologies that increase electric vehicle range in cold climates compared to the current li-ion batteries. The range of electric car batteries is reduced in cold weather; hence, longer journeys may be challenging during the colder seasons. It's a challenge that certain electric passenger car owners and the officials in the transport sector around the world are experiencing in freezing areas. At 20°F (-7°C), electric vehicles simply don't travel to the extent that is expected at the ideal 70°F. One reason is that using conventional technologies to warm the car depletes the battery.…

New Study Faults Companies for High EV Leasing Costs

Battery electric vehicle leases are overly priced, according to a recent T&E study of the used vehicle market. The European leasing deals for battery electric vehicles typically cost 57% more than deals for similar petrol versions. For instance, the monthly lease for a gas-powered Peugeot 208 is 371 euros ($393), while the monthly lease for an electric one is about 574 euros ($609). The research reveals that the resale price of BEVs is comparable to that of diesel and gasoline vehicles. High lease fees signify a greater expectation that battery electric vehicles will lose value over the course of the…
