UK Company Commences Public Tests of Wireless Charging Technology

Throughout the electric vehicle (“EV”) sector’s relatively short life, charging has been a major hindrance to adoption. Not only do EVs take much longer to charge compared to conventional cars, especially in the absence of fast-charging infrastructure, but there is barely enough public charging infrastructure to support the current number of EVs on the road. As industry stakeholders strive to rectify this issue, wireless charging is emerging as a possible solution to the charging problem that currently plagues the EV sector. This type of charging eliminates the need for cables and transfers energy via the air to induction charging kits…

EV Adoption Currently Too Slow to Address Climate Challenges

The discovery of fossil fuels followed by the development of the combustion engine was a game-changer for humanity. In less than 50 years, the world went from traveling on horseback and tilling the land with ox-drawn plows to driving automobiles and building massive factories. The internal combustion engine (“ICE”) was integral to industrialization, but despite all the good it has done for the advancement of humanity, burning fossil fuels for more than a century has had a catastrophic effect on the planet. Increased greenhouse gas emissions has led to the planet steadily heating up for decades, and the effects are…

Report Shows European EV Market Could Hit $855 Billion by 2028

The future of vehicular transport is undoubtedly electric. Several governments of countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas have pledged to replace a large percentage of the gas-powered vehicles on their roads with zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”) over the next few decades as the effects of human-induced climate change become more apparent. For most of the nascent EV sector's life, Europe and China have competed for the top spot as the world's largest EV market. According to a new market research report, Europe's chances of cementing its position at the top by the end of the decade are quite high.…

Experts Say Electric Tractors Could Overtake Gas-Powered Tractors

After nearly a century of monopolizing transportation, the combustion engine has found a worthy adversary. Decades of greenhouse gas emissions have set the planet on a course of climate change, and several regions around the world are already dealing with the effects of global warming. Consequently, zero-emission electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to replace fossil fuel-powered cars as countries strive to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut down on their greenhouse gas emissions. Although the wave of electrification began with passenger cars when Tesla debuted the Tesla Roadster more than a decade ago, it has now spread to…

BYD Looks Set to Revolutionize Public Transport

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) are poised to take over the world’s roads in the coming decades, replacing internal combustion engine vehicles and helping nations cut down on their carbon emissions. However, although several governments around the world have been pushing for residents to ditch their fossil fuel-powered vehicles for zero-emission electric cars, car owners have been slow to adopt EVs due to a variety of reasons. Some experts say that fleets, rather than passenger vehicles, will be the catalyst for mass EV adoption, and automakers and authorities should include these prospects in their electrification plans. One company that seems to have…

Electrify America Makes Locating EV Chargers Easier for Motorists

America’s electric vehicle (“EV”) segment has grown a great deal since Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) first released the Tesla Roadster, but insufficient public EV charging infrastructure remains one of the most significant hurdles to EV adoption. While there are more than 150,000 gas stations spread out across the country, there are only 50,000 EV chargers in the country, with an estimated 5,000 of them being Level 1 fast chargers. Consequently, any long journey using an EV requires extensive planning to ensure you have enough chargers along your route, especially if you plan on using fast chargers, which are in short…
