Embarking in June 2017 from Saint-Malo Port in France, Energy Observer is an electrically propelled vessel of the future that is operated using a mix of renewable energies and an on-board system that produces carbon-free hydrogen from seawater.
Americans are gradually saying farewell to the possibility of manual transmissions in new cars, just as more families are discovering (and purchasing) electric vehicles. The two trendlines, it so happens, have been remarkably close to each other for the past few years—both with less than 2% of the market. But in 2019, according to Power.
According to the latest government plans, a ban on selling new petrol, diesel, plug-in and hybrid cars in the UK will be brought forward from 2040 to 2035 – and earlier if feasible.
There was one surprise winner at Super Bowl 2020: electric cars. More than one of the most watched sporting events in the United States, the Super Bowl has become a platform for some of the highest profile ads. At this year’s event, car makers debuted a record four ads for electric vehicles (EVs). This is particularly surprising given how car makers have historically underspent on electric car advertising.
Alstom will manufacture , deliver and maintain until 2032 eleven Coradia Continental battery-electric trains for regional traffic on the Leipzig-Chemnitz route on behalf of VMS (Verkehrsverbund Mittelsachsen) and with the support of ZVNL (Zweckverband für den Nahverkehrsraum Leipzig), the two authorities responsible for this line. The contract is worth approximately €100 million.
Automakers and ad agencies might finally be starting to find the right way to position electric cars in TV commercials. The Super Bowl never was the right venue for commercials that need to run people through rational selling points. These brief and most expensive ads of the year are for brand-building, new directions, and generating buzz, with.

Non EV owners often dont believe me when I argue about how easy it is to travel with a Tesla, and how convenient and fast supercharg is. So I did a small experiment, to prove it with numbers : Here is the State of Charge for my model 3, versus the mode of charge used, to see how it compares visually, even if we all know the result. Happy about this article ?
Norwegian wholesaler Asko is among the first to operate a goods vehicle that runs on hydrogen, thanks to a collaborative effort by research scientists and industry. SINTEF, one of Europe’s largest independent research organizations, has been working with Asko and hydrogen fuel for almost ten years with the aim of reducing goods vehicle emissions. Electricity generated by solar panels installed across nine thousand square metres of roofing at Asko’s regional warehouse is being used to split water
Just a year ago, GM changed its tune about the possibility of hybrids—and plug-in hybrids like the much-loved Chevrolet Volt—in the company’s near-term future. Put simply, GM was finished with hybrids. There will be no follow-ups to the Volt, no long-rumored plug-in hybrid crossover, and even no more hybrids on the way. With the.
Don’t call it a blimp. It’s an airship. Travel the sky in style on journeys of over 4000 nautical miles with 15 of your closest friends. Supposedly 75% more efficient than other forms of aerial transportation. An all electric version is in development. I’m stoked about this. I’ve always been a fan of airships. Seriously, one bad accident and the whole industry goes up in flames?
Back in the annals of EV history, battery swapping was put forward as a way of overcoming the issue around charging time. Tesla tested in over in the USA in 2013, demonstrating its ability to swap out a Model S battery in 90 seconds, but has since abandoned it. However, in China the idea is very much alive and kicking – and government backed – so is there a future for it elsewhere?
Empire State Development (ESD) announced that Canada-based Li-Cycle Corporation will establish its first US-based Li-ion battery recycling facility in New York State.

Just last week, Hyundai put out its official pricing information for the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric, which is now arriving at dealerships. But according to our partner site CarsDirect, the carmaker is already throwing out incentives on the.
Hummers were a ridiculous middle finger to the environment when they were released to the public. I mean. the point of the military Hummer (or Humvee or HMMWV) was an armored truck. But again, this is the land of the civilian assault rifle. But, here we are. This thing could actually do well. A monstrous 1000hp and probably some amazing other stats that they’ve yet to share.
JenaBatteries GmbH and BASF are cooperating in the production of an electrolyte for a battery technology that is particularly suitable for stationary storage of electricity from renewable energy sources and for stabilizing conventional transmission grids.

Just over ten years since the first special-invitation preview events for the Tesla Model S, the closest thing to a true rival (or successor) for the Model S is finally coming to market: the Lucid Air. It’s true in more ways than one. If you don’t count the very performance-focused Porsche Taycan, there hasn’t been another proper.

The proportion of the UK's energy generated by the burning of fossil fuels has fallen to a record low during 2019, with renewables now the biggest net contributor. This is great news for those concerned about upstream emissions from charging EVs, and should help silence detractors of plug-in cars who have long suggested that they only displace emissions, rather than reduce them.
