There are many things in the cleantech world that are inspiring and fun, but there’s perhaps nothing that quickly inspires more joy than seeing solar-powered carports that power numerous electric vehicles, essentially allowing them to drive on sunshine.
We’ve been covering automakers’ electrification plans for several years. Today, we got a gem from GM. The automaker that proudly brought the Chevy Bolt EV to market before anyone else had a semi-affordable electric car on the market with that much range has now dropped a new marker in the sand. It intends to have 100% of its light-duty vehicle sales 100% electric by 2035.
For a few years, the Tesla Model S was the most innovative, groundbreaking car on the market. There was nothing like it.
An especially blue Ford Mustang Mach-E made the trip over from Miami to the better coast of Florida today. Three other Tesla owners and I converged to get a first look, first touch, first smell, first drive, and first charge. Without a doubt, each of us was eager to get to know this hot new thang.
We’ve got a beautiful blue Ford Mustang Mach-E 1st Edition AWD with an 88 kWh battery. What questions do you have for us? What do you want to see? What do you want to hear? What do you want to smell?
I’m not the CEO of a self-driving tech company, and I don’t (normally) pretend to be one on the internet. If I ever do, please feel free to shame me and ridicule me and toss me to the lions.
JinkoSolar, one of the largest solar module producers in the world, is ramping up its solar cell production tremendously. It is building a 20 gigawatt solar cell factory that is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2021.
Global corporate funding in the solar power sector grew by $11.7 billion, or 24%, in 2020 compared to 2019 — despite the coronavirus pandemic.
If you’ve got an electric car, whether you live in the United States, the United Kingdom, Timbuktu, or Antarctica, you know the two questions most people ask when they are curious about your car: 1) how far can it drive, and 2) how long does it take to charge. Typically, though, these are sort of useless questions. For the most part, people charge at home and need to think about it very little.
As CleanTechnica has reported in recent months, solar power now generates the cheapest electricity in history — according to the conservative, fossil industry–entrenched International Energy Agency. As a result, demand for solar power has been growing strongly in the United States and worldwide.
