Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Regain Ground Among Motorists

Plug-in hybrids are a great transition vehicle for people who aren’t completely comfortable with switching to fully electric vehicles. They come equipped with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, making it possible for drivers to power their cars through either electricity or fuel. This significantly increases range and alleviates a problem that prevents many drivers from ditching their gasoline-powered cars for EVs: range anxiety. Over the past couple of months, there has been a surge in plug-in hybrid EV sales, partly due to soaring gas prices that have made running conventional cars quite pricey. Wards Intelligence estimates that…

How EVs Can Survive Extreme Weather Conditions

Electric vehicles are in an entirely different class compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. Rather than an internal combustion engine, EVs draw their power from rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs. This grants them several advantages over conventional cars, including eliminating emissions at the tailpipe; however, it also results in cons that typically don’t affect traditional cars. One of them is the effect extreme weather conditions can have on range. Each electric vehicle battery is capable of holding enough charge to cover a certain number of miles. Ideally, an EV with an estimated 200-mile range could drive 200 miles on a single…

Bill Incentivizing North American EVs Approved by US Senate

Tesla remains the most popular electric vehicle maker in the American market, with a significant chunk of the EVs sold in America manufactured by the automaker. The list of popular EV brands in 2022 is closed out by Ford, Nissan, Volkswagen and Hyundai Motor Group. The U.S. government, which has been keen on encouraging Americans to buy more EVs manufactured in North America, recently scored a big win after the Senate approved the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Inflation Reduction Act was approved after a marathon voting session that lasted almost 24 hours, ending in a vote by U.S.…

Nissan Working to Retain Battery Minerals in Japan by Implementing EV Rental Service

Even though governments and automakers have made significant investments in the budding electric vehicle industry, several factors still stand in the way of mass electric vehicle adoption. Chief among them is a relatively limited supply of the rare metals used to build EV batteries. Furthermore, most EV battery metals, including lithium and cobalt, come from Asia, forcing automakers in the United States and Europe to rely on supplies from Asian countries such as China and Japan. As American automakers look to beef up their battery metal supplies from local sources, Japanese automaker Nissan is taking extra steps to ensure scarce…

Data Shows a Few States Dominate US EV Adoption

America’s electric vehicle industry is still in its infancy. Electric cars still make up a small percentage of total vehicle sales in the country, and most experts agree that it will take some time before there are enough EVs on the road to offset carbon emissions from internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. This is primarily because electric vehicles are too expensive for the average consumer and the country’s public charging network still needs a lot of work. Furthermore, EV adoption has mainly been limited to a handful of states that have decent EV charging networks and have provided buyers with…

Recycling Programs Stay on Ice as EV Batteries Outlast Predictions

As more territories pledge to transition their road transport systems to electric vehicles and automakers invest billions of dollars into developing new EVs, one question has been on many people’s minds. What will we do with all these electric vehicle batteries when they reach the end of their lives? The answer has been recycling programs that could recover up to 90% of an EV battery cell for commercial activity once its life on the road was over. However, a recent report from Forbes has revealed that EV batteries are so long-lasting that they are delaying battery recycling programs. The idea…

CNN Road Trip Shows Charging Infrastructure, Not Range Is Major Constraint to EV Adoption

A reporter from CNN recently went on an EV road trip, which proved that insufficient charging infrastructure rather than small EV batteries and range anxiety is a major barrier to electric vehicle adoption. After traveling 950 miles across several states in an EV, the CNN reporter concluded that developing a network of convenient and reliable charging stations is the solution, rather than developing EVs with larger battery packs and more range. Peter Valdes-Dapena drove a Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ from New York City to Atlanta, covering around 950 miles. Although the EQS has an estimated range of 350 miles on a…
