A cheap Toyota EV? Not right now, the company says

Baua Electric

Toyota has no current plans to launch a cheap EV despite demand building. Toyota says no small, cheap EV is in the works Although many automakers, including VW, Stellantis, and Kia, have revealed plans to launch low-cost EVs under $30,000 (£25,000), Toyota says not so fast.

Mukkpet Tank review: How good is a super low-cost full-suspension fat tire e-bike?

Baua Electric

The only problem is they both tend to add to the cost of an e-bike, often pushing the number into the $2k range or higher. But it works, which is what cheap e-bike hunters are after. The speed and power are great, the range is pretty good, and the build quality is decent. For that, it seems to work just fine.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or hard to maintain, driving up the cost of storing energy. Background.

IDTechEx: Sales of electric motorcycles in Europe grew 50% y-o-y in 2020

Green Car Congress

IDTechEx expects electric motorcycle sales in Europe to have grown at least 50% year-on-year in 2020, building on the momentum of recent years. In contrast, low energy, cheap LFP packs sourced from China can be used for the low energy needs of electric scooters. 2020 is an IDTechEx estimate based on Q1 - Q3 2020 data.

BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

The report “Decarbonizing Steel: A Net-Zero Pathway” outlines the path to making profitable, low-emissions steel and describes how a combination of falling hydrogen costs, cheap clean power, and increased recycling could reduce emissions to net zero, even while total output increases.

BNEF ups forecast for global investment in stationary energy storage, sees majority of capacity likely to be grid-scale

Green Car Congress

BNEF projects that it will be made possible by further sharp declines in the cost of lithium-ion batteries, on top of an 85% reduction in the 2010-18 period. The report goes on to model the impact of this on a global electricity system increasingly penetrated by low-cost wind and solar.

Renault and Powervault in EV battery “second-life” partnership trial

Green Car Congress

This partnership will reduce the cost of a Powervault smart battery unit by 30%, helping Powervault to bring home energy storage to the tipping point of mass-market roll-out in the UK. Powervault units can also automatically charge using low-cost, off-peak energy from the grid.
