NYC Starts Installing Curbside EV Charging Stations

The United States plans on becoming a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, and for a while now, the nation has been pushing for its citizens to adopt electric vehicles. Although electric vehicles (“EVs”) make up a small percentage of the cars on American roads, more people are willing to buy them in exchange for petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. However, one thing that has held plenty of drivers back and prevented EV drivers from using their vehicles without anxiety, is the insufficient and often unreliable network of public charging stations. New York City, for instance, has nearly 15,000 registered electric vehicles but…

Pentagon-Commissioned Report Advises Army to Diversify Fuel Sources

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to replace conventional gas-powered vehicles gradually over the next couple of decades. By discarding the century-old internal combustion engine in exchange for lithium-ion batteries and electric motors, several countries, including the United States, hope to cut down on their carbon emissions. However, a recent report commissioned by the Pentagon says that zero-emission electric cars may not be feasible for the U.S. Army, potentially locking the industry out of a market that spends big on new technologies. Titled “Powering the US Army of the Future,” the report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine…

How to Maintain an Electric Vehicle

Over the next few decades, electric vehicles (“EVs”) are expected to replace the petrol and diesel-powered cars that have been a staple on the roads for more than a century. Anyone who's aware of battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) has probably heard that they are cheaper to maintain. But how exactly does one maintain an electric car over its lifetime? And why are these maintenance costs said to be less compared to conventional vehicles? Let's take a look. Rather than an internal combustion engine, electric vehicles are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which will require less maintenance. Compared to…

New Ultra-Fast Charger Could Supercharge EV Uptake

After more than a century of dominating the roads, internal combustion engines (“ICE”) seem to be on the way out. ICE vehicles, especially passenger vehicles, are responsible for close to 30% of global carbon emissions. As climate change accelerates and the planet heats up, zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”) have been crowned the successor of the internal combustion engine. However, EVs still make a small percentage of global vehicle sales, a paltry 4% to be exact, with most drivers opting for tried and tested petrol and diesel-powered cars. They can take hours to fully charge, and an insufficient and often unreliable…

How Far Could Your EV Go on a Single Charge?

In a bid to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions from the transportation sector, several countries plan to steadily replace conventional petrol and diesel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles (“EVs”). Rather than an internal combustion engine, these cars are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. But for plenty of drivers, range anxiety, which is the fear of running out of power on long trips without a charging station in sight, is a major deterrent against switching to EVs. So just how far can an electric vehicle go on a single charge? And, on top of that,…

German Vehicle Owners Still Reluctant to Switch to EVs

Like most developed countries, Germany is scrambling to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”). Specifically, Germany, which is home to some of the largest automakers in the world, would like to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Having an estimated 7-10 million battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) on the roads by 2030 is integral to this goal. Unfortunately, German drivers aren't as receptive to BEVs as the government and the young electric vehicle industry would like them to be. At the moment, only 1.2% of the 48.2 million passenger vehicles registered in the…

BloombergNEF Predicts Surging EV Sales Though Additional Policy Action Is Needed

Despite all we have achieved over the last century due to the internal combustion engine, vehicles powered by this technology are also responsible for a large percentage of global carbon emissions. Consequently, most countries have pledged to replace internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles with zero-emission electric cars in a bid to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Rather than “dirty” fossil fuels, electric vehicles (“EVs”) are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and, theoretically, making them our primary modes of transportation could cut carbon emissions by a wide margin. The EV industry is barely a decade old and makes up less than…
