Toyota Hits Back at Critics of Its EV Production

Unlike most major automakers, Japanese car giant Toyota has barely made any inroads into the young but rapidly growing electric vehicle sector. Aside from a line of plug-in hybrids, including the Toyota Prius, Toyota has not revealed any concrete plans to develop battery electric vehicles in the near future. Instead, the world’s largest carmaker seems to have hedged its bets on hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid technology. Toyota’s investment in hydrogen fuel cells has also been met with criticism from experts who believe hydrogen-powered cars are not a feasible option. Toyota has now pushed back against such criticism, stating that…

Why Charging Wirelessly Is Crucial for EV Adoption

Limited access to charging infrastructure is still one of the main hurdles to mass electric vehicle adoption. At the moment, the United States has more than 46,000 public EV chargers, a far cry from the million public chargers the country will need to support mass EV adoption. Emerging technologies such as wireless charging could help bridge this gap and allow more people to transition to zero-emission electric cars. Wireless or induction charging has been around since the late 1970s but has gained popularity in recent years as OEMs develop mobile phones and laptops capable of charging wirelessly. In simple terms,…

Car Rental Sector Races to Transition to Electric Vehicles

Although automakers and governments around the world are poised to invest billions of dollars into developing electric vehicles and the required infrastructure, the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to zero-emission electric vehicles will take quite a while. Electric vehicles are still too expensive for the average consumer, and with the global economy declining, costly EVs will be the last thing on many people’s minds. Fleets, on the other hand, are not constrained by many of the factors that prevent lone drivers from transitioning to electric vehicles in the near term. As such, fleet managers such as the billion-dollar car…

Electric Vehicle Manufacturers Ask Congress to Reconsider EV Tax Credit Cap

Although the electric vehicle industry is poised to experience significant growth over the next couple of decades as more people ditch their combustion engine cars for EVs, affordability remains a major problem. A majority of American families simply cannot afford to buy an electric vehicle, and a significant percentage of EV owners had to rely on government subsidies and incentives to buy their EVs. With lithium ore prices on the rise, the supply chain in disarray and the computer chip shortage still continuing, EV production costs are only going higher. For electric vehicles to become as affordable as regular gas-powered…

EVs Could Become More Affordable If Price of Lithium Decreases

One thing most consumers can agree on is that electric vehicles are currently too expensive. A small percentage of the population can afford to buy an EV outright, and the industry has depended on government subsidies a great deal to get by. Costly electric vehicle batteries are largely to blame for this. Electric vehicles run on rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs, which are made using a variety of rare and expensive metals such as lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt and graphite. However, we may soon see cheaper electric vehicles enter the market as the cost of manufacturing them reduces thanks to decreasing…
