A Primer on EV Charger Connector Types

With electric vehicles (“EVs”) poised to replace conventional gas-powered cars over the next few decades, EV chargers are going to be much more commonplace. Rather than internal combustion engines, EVs rely on rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs for power. While you can fill up a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle at virtually any gas station, there is currently no universal EV charging connector. Some regions use a specific charging connector while, in other cases, EV makers choose to use a specific proprietary connector regardless of what is common to the region. Charging an electric vehicle is similar to charging a mobile…

Building EV Charging Infrastructure Can Create Significant Number of Jobs

Electrification will play a crucial role in the future as the world tries to move away from fossil fuels and cut down on carbon emissions. Presently, electric vehicles comprise a small percentage of the vehicles on America's roads. Most electric vehicle (“EV”) models are too expensive for the average driver, and the country's network of public charging stations still leaves a lot to be desired. With EV prices steadily reducing, investing in electric vehicle charging infrastructure is the next best way to boost EV adoption. Analysis by industry experts now shows that building EV charging infrastructure will not only alleviate…

Study Puts to Rest Longstanding Myth About Electric Vehicles

It is becoming increasingly clear that more than a century of industrialization has had a major adverse effect on the earth. Extreme weather, including heat waves, forest fires and freezing temperatures, are becoming more common, and several countries have pledged to phase out internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles and take up zero-emission electric cars to combat this phenomenon. Vehicular transportation is responsible for nearly 30% of America's carbon emissions, and electric vehicles represent a way for the United States — and the world at large — to cut down on emissions. However, it has been said that electric vehicles (“EVs”)…

How Fleet Management Will Be Affected by Fleet Electrification

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are sure to replace conventional gas-powered vehicles over the next few decades. Several countries are looking to become carbon-neutral economies, and the transition to electric vehicles is bound to have a major effect on vehicular travel. Plenty of experts believe that electric commercial fleets will be a crucial component in the move toward electrification given that the enterprises behind fleets have the required budgets and stand to derive the most benefits. Unlike petrol- and diesel-powered cars, EVs rely on rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs. The charging costs are a fraction of what it costs to refuel a fleet,…

EVs Now Have 40% Share of Switzerland Market

The coming decades will see zero-emission electric cars replace the petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles that have been a staple on our roads for a century. The electric vehicle (“EV”) industry is still quite new, however, and only a few countries have seen a lot of citizens adopt electric vehicles. China is still the largest EV market in the world, and certain regions in the United States. such as California, have seen EVs achieve 20% market share. Europe, however, takes the cake when it comes to electric vehicle purchases. Switzerland's electric vehicle sector has boomed over the past year, with EVs…

Arizona Among Top US States with Plenty of Electric Vehicles

The future of vehicular transportation is electric. Although electric vehicles (“EVs”) make a small percentage of the vehicles on America's roads, they are bound to increase as decreasing production costs make them cheaper and the country's network of public charging stations is beefed up. Arizona, a mostly red state that has, until recently, been under the control of Republicans, is surprisingly one of the states with the most electric vehicles in the country. According to recent data from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center, there are 28,770 registered electric vehicles in Arizona, making it the seventh state…

Could Wireless Charging Be Turning Point for EV Adoption?

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are set to take over the world's roads over the coming decade, replacing internal combustion engine vehicles, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting down on carbon dioxide emissions from transportation. However, charging has been a major hindrance to EV adoption, and battery makers as well as policy makers have been working to improve battery technology and make EV chargers more accessible. One of the most exciting developments in the battery space has been wireless charging. Although this technology has been around for quite a while, it was first discovered by Nikola Tesla more than a century…

Study Indicates Commercial Electric Vehicles Could Have Massive Benefits

As several countries and automakers move toward electrification, most of the focus has been placed on passenger vehicles. After all, these types of cars make up the majority of the vehicles on the world's roads and are responsible for more than 40% of global carbon emissions from transportation. As such, most automakers have focused on building electric passenger vehicles, and governments keen on electrification have been working to push electric vehicle (“EV”) adoption among the masses. However, a new study has found that electrifying the commercial truck segment could have even bigger benefits. Like the trains of old, diesel trucks…

EVs Give Automakers Liberty While Designing Cars

For decades, car makers have adhered to a relatively similar vehicle design. They were forced to work around an internal combustion engine and transmission, and they had to ensure that powertrains, either gas, diesel, or later on hybrid, had enough room to spin and breathe. The result was often vehicles with reduced or cramped cabin space and large grills at the front to ensure proper airflow. This has been the norm for decades, and until recently, automakers did not stray from this design. With the advent of zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”), car makers are now at liberty to exercise their…
