New data suggests that electric vehicles may not be an easy future substitute for the gasoline-powered fleet, as EVs currently travel less than half as much as the US fleet average. A team from the University of Chicago, University of California, Davis, and UC Berkeley combined billions of hourly electricity meter measurements with address-level EV registration records in California—home to about half of the EVs in the United States.

Consumers have been lowering their power demands for more than a decade by adding solar panels to their roofs. Two-way EV charging will reduce that even further- using EV batteries to power homes (vehicle-to-home V2H), buildings (vehicle-to-building V2B) or feed it back to the grid with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. While V2H provides individual consumers significant benefit, V2B and V2G have a greater impact on the grid overall, as the power will be used on a much larger scale.

Shipping emissions form a significant part of the commodity supply chain’s carbon footprint, particularly for those commodities reliant on the mass transport of low-grade ores and concentrates. Roskill has analyzed the trend in carbon intensity of shipping using spodumene concentrate as an example. Spodumene concentrates currently represent more than 50% of refined lithium supply worldwide (on a lithium carbonate equivalent basis), with Western Australia accounting for a significant portion of t
