GM, Partners Team Up to Establish 2,000 EV Charging Points

America’s transition towards zero-emission electric vehicles is well underway, but several factors still stand in the way of mass EV adoption. One such issue is the lack of public EV charging infrastructure in the country. While internal combustion engine (ICE) cars can pull into one of the more than 145,000 gas stations in the country to refill their tanks, EVs have an insufficient public charging infrastructure. This means that drivers who do not own garages or have access to private garages tend to shy away from electric vehicles because they would be forced to rely on public chargers to keep…

EV Demand Rises, Exposes Industry Challenges and Opportunities

As the world strives to move away from fossil fuels, electric vehicles have emerged as a solution to reducing carbon emissions from transportation. But one major challenge to electric vehicle adoption is that they are too expensive for the average consumer. With the cost of living rising exponentially in the past few months, and automakers increasing the costs of their EVs, you would think that EV adoption would slow down even further as people saved their dollars. However, data shows that consumers are turning to electric vehicles in record numbers despite prevailing economic conditions, rising EV prices and long waiting…

Canoo Shares Soar after Walmart Orders 4,500 EVs

A virtually unknown electric vehicle maker recently made the news after retail giant Walmart ordered more than four thousand of its EVs. Canoo, an EV company based in Arkansas, released a statement saying that it had signed a definitive agreement with Walmart to deliver 4,500 fully electric vans as part of efforts to achieve zero-carbon emissions and grow its delivery network by 2040.

Study Shows US Motorists Prefer Rebates Over Tax Credits

Anyone who has heard or read about electric vehicles knows that they are much more expensive than the average internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. According to an April report from analysis firm Recurrent, the price of electric vehicles has grown by more than 20% since last year. Recently, automakers such as Tesla and GM increased the cost of their electric models amid supply chain constraints and increased production costs. To help offset the cost of EVs and increase adoption, the government provides thousands of dollars in tax credits to people who purchase EVs. However, researchers from George Washington University say…

Study Shows Electric Vehicles Can Be Used in Rural Areas

Electric vehicles are superior to internal combustion engine (ICE) cars in one significant way: they do not produce any emissions at the tailpipe. As such, several countries have pledged to electrify their transportation over the next couple of decades as part of a global effort to cut down on carbon emissions. However, EVs still make a small percentage of vehicles on the road and the use of those vehicles tend to be concentrated in cities and urban areas. This is primarily because the charging infrastructure needed to support electric vehicles is mostly located in urbanized areas. Furthermore, the kind of…

US Reaches Key Milestone Crucial for Mass EV Adoption

As territories around the world work to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut their carbon emissions, electric vehicles have become increasingly crucial to the green energy transition. Research by Katherine Mckenzie, a faculty member at the University of Hawaii Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), shows that electric vehicles have the potential to reduce carbon emissions by a whopping 93% in 30 years. However, consumers will have to ditch their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and adopt electric vehicles in mass for such a prediction to come true. This will undoubtedly require a shift…

Data Shows EV Sales Soared 55% Globally in May

Electric vehicles are said to be the next stage in vehicular transportation. However, they are very costly, require charging infrastructure that simply isn’t there yet and are currently battling with a crippling global shortage of semiconductor chips. But despite these mitigating factors, EV makers managed to sell a record number of electric cars in May, indicating that the nascent EV space is still going strong. Global electric vehicle sales reached almost 700,000 in May, increasing by a whopping 55% amid economic woes and supply chain constraints. Data from EV-Volumes shows that customers registered 699,708 passenger electric cars in May, raising…

BYD Overtakes Tesla as Largest EV Maker Globally

After dominating the electric vehicle sector for more than a decade, Tesla has finally been dethroned as the top-producing electric vehicle firm in the world. BYD Auto, a Shenzhen-based and Warren Buffet-backed automaker, has overtaken Tesla as the most prominent maker of EVs on the globe. Tesla’s production figures were undoubtedly impacted by supply chain disruptions and the closure of Gigafactory Shanghai because of COVID-19-related safety measures. Company filings show that BYD delivered 641,350 alternative energy cars over the first half of the year, a whopping 314% year-on-year increase in sales compared to the first half of 2021. The Chinese…
