J.D. Power: EV consideration in US is up but skepticism still exists

Green Car Congress

Electric Vehicle Consideration (EVC) Study. Though the study findings show a shift in favor of EVs, about 76% of new-vehicle shoppers say they are not ‘very likely’ to consider buying one. The study, now in its second year, finds that the more vehicle owners drive, the more they are likely to consider an EV. Power 2022 U.S.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

Selecting 2019 as their base study year, the team looked at the costs of running natural gas-fired peaker plants, which they defined as plants operating 15% of the year in response to gaps in intermittent renewable electricity. The researchers believe studies like theirs could help key energy stakeholders make better-informed decisions.
