Over the past year, Consumer Reports (CR) sought to answer the question of the effect of temperature on electric vehicle range by conducting seasonal testing on popular new all-wheel-drive EVs: the Ford Mustang Mach-E extended range, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Model Y Long Range, and Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S. The CR team found temperatures can have impact—but said that Tesla stands out for coming up short of claimed range no matter the weather.

There are some things that I never thought I’d see electrified. Cars? I get it. Bikes? Sure thing. Boats? Why not? But when it comes to lawn tools, I never thought I’d see a wheelbarrow go the way of electric hedge trimmers.

Stellantis N.V. completed its 33.3% purchase in Symbio, a leader in zero-emission hydrogen mobility. FORVIA and Michelin are equal shareholders.

Over the last half-century , we’ve come to think of Moore’s Law —the roughly biennial doubling of the number of transistors in a given area of silicon, the gains that drive computing forward—as something that just happens, as though it were a natural, inevitable process, akin to evolution or aging. The reality, of course, is much different. Keeping pace with Moore’s Law requires almost unimaginable expenditures of time, energy, and human ingenuity—thousands of people on multiple continents and e
In a recent press release, Chevrolet announced that they’re bringing the Bolt back. Details are still thin at this time, but I want to cover some background (the cancellation), what we know so far, and why they’re doing this.

A few weeks ago, Cycrown sent me a folding bike to review. It’s not only got the features you’d expect in a folding fat-tire e-bike, but it delivers them at a price that can’t be beat. In this article, I’ll share some key facts about the bike and cover my riding impressions!
There are lots of non-mega cities around Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. They are considered tier 2 cities because of higher GDP per capital. NIO set up lot of battery swap stations in the wealthy tier 2 cities. In fact, many of the mega cities on the list are only qualified as tier 3 or 4 cities due to lower GDP per capital. I think this list is an understatement on NIO's deployment of battery swap station.

@sarojbhattarai In reply to sarojbhattarai. If Suzuki Hyundai Kia and Toyota lag behind Chinese company then why do they sell way better than any Chinese company in any single important market other than china??? Chinese combustion engine cars suck, only their electric cars are good. And even then it's no match for Tesla and even Hyundai/Kia electric cars like Ioniq which sell very well in western markets.
The UK’s Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), which is created to establish new skills and benchmarks for the automotive sector, has issued a warning about the electric vehicle industry. While EVs are becoming more prevalent, the number of technicians who are trained to work on electric cars safely is dropping. As per the IMI’s data, a mere 18% of the UK’s total technicians, or about 42,400 individuals, received training for electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2023.
The gigantic majority of hydrogen made within the U.S. — 95 % — is produced the usage of steam-methane reforming. On this procedure, herbal fuel reacts with steam below power to construct what’s referred to as grey hydrogen. It’s reasonably affordable, with manufacturing prices soaring round $2.08 consistent with kilogram of hydrogen relying on the cost of herbal fuel, however the median emission for the method is top — 9 kilograms of carbon dioxide consistent with kilogram of hydrog
To make something hard to fake you can use exotic materials or clever tricks. Benjamin Franklin, a printer by vocation, a scientist by avocation, leaned on cleverness, developing measures that are still in use. Those black arts have now yielded to the latest analytical instruments, as described in the Publications of the National Academy of Scientists by a group led by Khachatur Manukyan, a research associate professor at the Nuclear Science Laboratory of the University of Notre Dame.
