Why Countries Like India Desperately Need EV Battery Standardization

Get Electric Vehicle

By 2050, it is expected that 74% of Europe’s cars on the road will be battery-powered. Despite the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, there has been little discussion about standardizing battery types. It may also pave the door for greater automation in the waste disposal process.

Advantage EV

Electric Auto Association

For EV drivers, cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions in battery cells, and because they don't have heat-producing engines, EVs must use additional battery power to warm their cabins (although these can be pre-heated in plugged-in EVs). Two of the largest EV markets in the world are Norway and Iceland.

Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

Fuel cells, like stem cells in medical science, are a new technology in the automobile industry. Unlike battery-powered electric vehicles, FCEVs can go over 500 kilometers on a full tank of hydrogen and can be refueled in 2-3 minutes, exactly like regular petrol/diesel cars. What exactly is an FCEV?

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The electron flow goes via the car’s lithium-ion battery, in essence keeping it charged, and recombines with the protons and oxygen at the cathode. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?
