Editor’s note: In the article below, the writer uses the term “up to” several times in discussing potential yearly savings from driving an electric car. I understand the temptation to use such phrasing, and it’s quite common to do so, but it’s a highly inaccurate way of phrasing it for … [continued]
As we’ve covered for years, electric vehicles have innate safety advantages, and it’s also easier to design them for higher levels of safety in multiple ways. I could go on, but we have a fresh new report just on this topic — The EV Safety Advantage. Apparently, it already needs … [continued]
New research from Australian and Singaporean scientists have found a link between car exhaust and Alzheimer’s. It was even on the mainstream news last night. This opens up a whole new argument in favour of the uptake of electric vehicles and the removal of fossil fuels. It has long been … [continued]
It’s highly ironic — electric vehicles are much safer than gasoline-powered vehicles, yet there’s constant media coverage hyping up the opposite idea (that electric vehicles are not safe). Thus, there’s great public concern over the safety of electric vehicles (EVs), especially their batteries. While there are some issues to be … [continued]
A new study shows that the Advanced Clean Cars II Program can bring $178 billion in benefits to Illinois.
First of all, let’s start with 9 key points I’ll cover. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) efficiently use clean energy and emit no pollution while driving! When a BEV is more convenient. Driving your electric rocket-mobile (fun, fun, fun). Lower fuel and service costs. Driving a BEV cross country. They don’t … [continued]
With more electric vehicle choices than ever, EV sales in the US are hitting new heights. In just the first half of 2023, over 670,000 EVs were sold with over 80 percent of those fully-electric battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It took 8 years for the first million EV sales – … [continued]
Cradle-to-grave greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a small gasoline SUV in 2020 were estimated to be 429 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per mile, while the same size EV with 300 miles of range had 48% fewer GHG emissions. Argonne National Laboratory’s (Argonne) cradle-to-grave analysis considered everything from raw … [continued]
Electric vehicles have grown more affordable throughout 2023, and many have found them even cheaper than driving gas cars over their lifespan. From reduced lifetime maintenance costs and savings on charging, can EVs really be cheaper than owning and driving gas cars? According to MarketWatch, EVs are typically going to … [continued]
The Dumbing Down (& Elimination) Of Gauge Clusters If you’re like my son, who recently got his learner’s permit, the first car you drive will be an EV. Unless it’s something really cool, like an EV conversion of a classic car with a manual, it’s going to be very, very … [continued]
