Hydrogen Cars Unlikely to Eclipse Electric Vehicles

A century or so after automobiles first began traveling the roads, it has become clear that we need a replacement. While fossil fuel-powered vehicles have helped to advance human industrialization, they are also responsible for one-third of the air pollution in the United States, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) as well as hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have emerged as much cleaner options. But while EVs are poised to take over the roads in the coming decades, FCEVs may have a different fate. Both kinds of vehicles run on renewable energy and…

UC Riverside Engineers Finds Fast Charging Detrimental to EV Batteries

For the longest time, one of the greatest barriers to EV adoption was charging worries. With most developed governments looking toward net-zero economies, though, charging stations are slowly becoming more widespread and reliable. We have even seen the introduction of super-fast chargers that can charge an electric car to near full capacity in just a couple of minutes. However, according to a new study published in Energy Storage, fast charging may be doing more harm than good. Engineers at the University of California Riverside found that fast-charging stations subject car batteries to high temperatures and resistance that can cause them…

Lung Association Articulates Health Benefits of EVs

Most developed countries are on track to replace traditional gas-powered vehicles with electric vehicles over the next two decades. Not only do they run on clean, renewable energy, but they also produce minimal emissions and widespread adoption of EVs will significantly reduce the amount of pollution on our roads. Less carbon in the air means less heat is trapped in the atmosphere, and according to the American Lung Association, fewer health problems. According to a recent “Road to Clean Air” report from the Lung Association, Maryland could save up to 100 lives and $1.3 billion in public health benefits in 2050…

Top 5 Electric Vehicle Questions, Answered

Despite the concept of electric vehicles (“EVs”) being decades old, the industry is relatively new. Consumers interested in reducing their carbon footprint and switching green are positively bursting with questions about the fledgling industry and how it works. To help interested parties get a clearer picture of the EV industry, consumer group Which? Has given expert answers to five of the most nagging EV questions most consumers have. Are electric cars really that green? You’d be forgiven for thinking EVs produce zero emissions, but we’re still a ways off from that technology. But don’t let that discourage you from going…

How Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) Stays Ahead of EV Competition

The next decade or so of automobile travel undoubtedly belongs to Tesla. 12 years after the firm started selling its first completely electric offering, the Tesla Roadster, Tesla has become the largest electric vehicle (“EV”) maker on the planet. In fact, Tesla’s capitalization had reached $107 billion by mid-January, exceeding that of Ford and GM combined to become the world’s second most valuable auto company behind Toyota. So how has Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) managed to disrupt a centuries-old industry in just less than two decades? It deals in both hardware and software. Back in 2011, Marc Andreessen, co-founder and…

Subsidies Make Some Electric Vehicles Nearly Free in Germany

With most developed countries looking to a carbon emission-free future, electric vehicles (“EVs”) have emerged as the next phase of vehicular travel. Powered by clean, renewable energy and with zero emissions, and cheaper to run and maintain in the long run compared to traditional vehicles, electric cars play a huge role in reducing how much carbon is produced on our roads. However, the initial purchase price of most EV models prevents a large chunk of the population from going green. To combat this barrier to widespread EV adoption, several governments have created subsidy programs to make electric vehicles more affordable.…

UK Company Crunches Numbers, Proves Lifetime Affordability of EVs

The past decade or so has been pivotal for the auto vehicle industry. The emergence and increasing popularity of automakers like Tesla who only produce electric vehicles (“EVs”) has inspired most automakers to add electric vehicles to their roster of vehicles. This comes at a time when most developed governments are becoming increasingly conscious of pollution and climate change and are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprints. According to a UK company, not only are EVs energy efficient and produce zero emissions, but they are generally cheaper to run and maintain than diesel or petrol cars. After crunching the…

How Electric Vehicles Will Transform the Auto Maintenance Industry

Technology tends to be disruptive to the old systems, irreversibly altering the way businesses and consumers operate. What did we do before computers came along? How on earth did we get to places without planes, cars, or even bikes? All of the systems that were once set in stone and seemed like the only way to do things slowly faded away with the advent of technology. As we electrify our roads, the auto vehicle industry faces the same disruptions. Without a doubt, electric vehicles represent the next frontier of vehicular travel. As most governments look towards net zero economies, electric…

Professor Acquires $1M Grant to Develop Superior EV Battery

Most developed countries plan to phase out traditional carbon fuel-powered vehicles for electric vehicles (“EVs”) over the next decade or two. As EVs run on clean, renewable energy, they produce zero emissions, which is in line with the governments’ long term plans to reduce carbon emissions. However, despite being relatively cheaper to fuel (charge) and maintain than traditional vehicles, most of the EVs on the market are way too expensive for the average consumer. So, even if they wish to switch over to clean energy, a large chunk of the population simply cannot afford it. To make them more affordable,…
