Four Factors Slowing EV Uptake

The next few decades will see electric vehicles (“EVs”) replace fossil-fuel-powered cars on the world's roads. Several countries have pledged to adopt alternative energy vehicles in a bid to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and zero-emission electric cars will be crucial to achieving this goal. However, EVs still make up a very small percentage of the vehicles on the world's roads. A Pew Research survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans found electric vehicles to be too expensive and one-third had reliability concerns. In the United Kingdom, a similar survey found that 37%…

Minnesota Establishes Clean Car Standards to Boost EV Uptake

With the impact of runaway climate change becoming more apparent by the day, several countries and areas are determined to cut down on their carbon emissions. Europe, China and the United States have taken the lead in the race toward electrification, accounting for most electric vehicle purchases in the world. In America, some states have advanced further along in the race to electrification than others, with California, for instance, announcing that it plans on phasing out the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, the most ambitious EV mandate in the country. Minnesota, which is still behind California in terms…

How to Jump-Start Your EV’s Dead Battery

If you've ever had to jump-start a gas-powered car, then you know it's a pretty straightforward process: find a car that's still running, hook a couple of jumper cables from the functioning battery to the dead one and start the other car. But for electric vehicles (“EVs”), which run on rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs rather than an internal combustion engine, the process is a little different. While it is common knowledge that electric vehicles rely on a high-voltage battery pack for their power needs, not everyone knows that EVs also have an additional 12-volt battery similar to the one under…

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…
