The index is built from the four key policies needed to improve fuel economy: fuel tax, CO 2 -based vehicle tax, fuel economy standards and labeling. Strategies to close this gap include better design of fuel economy test cycles, improved traffic flow and better road surface conditions.

That’s how Tesla charged to a massive head start — simply by putting as much effort and resources into building its charging network as it did into making its cars. will need as many as 235,000 fast EV chargers to meet demand — up from about 47,000 chargers that are available today.

You may be surprised by the number of sedans, SUV/crossovers, and hatchbacks available. For example, I grew up in a “Toyota family” and Toyota only has one electric vehicle available today: The Prius Prime. If you don’t have free charging yet, ask your Human Resources department. Know your range. Why Finance?

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. It’s purely a software upgrade, and standardization is already in place. More and more renewable energy is being added to the grid, but the distribution system has to be designed for the peaks.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. It is much more than that. We will soon discuss this need in detail.

The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short.

Standardization of battery shape and chemistry is another consideration that gives one pause. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. Forcing companies to conform to standardized batteries prevents them from designing better cars.
