Traditionally, January, along with February, are the two slowest months in the Chinese plug-in vehicle market, but tradition is not what it used to be. Even with disruption hitting the Chinese automotive market (the mainstream market was down 18% last month), plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales were up an amazing 175% year over year (YoY), to some 96,000 registrations.
The Swedish International Development Cooperation Council is expanding its off-grid solar initiative in sub-Saharan Africa and backing its commitment with $50 million in seed money. Some countries think greatness comes from building walls, while others believe it is better to build bridges.
Despite all the fossil friendly rhetoric emanating from the White House, the US Department of Defense is still pursuing microgrids with renewable energy.
I’ve had the fortune to review 3 (at this point in time) high-quality, easy-to-maneuver electric bicycles. I like all three. They are quite different, like the various electric cars are quite different — although, similar compared to tractor-like gas/diesel vehicles.
Cold weather or not, diesel-killing solar panels are creating new jobs and pumping out clean power for remote villages in Alaska.
An opinion by Rebecca Freitag, UN Youth Delegate on Sustainable Development.
What is happening in the US solar market, and what can we expect in US solar in the next 12 months for the solar industry? We look at what happened in the solar market in 2018 and what we can look forward to in 2019.
China is charging full speed ahead into electric vehicles, on track to sell over 2 million EVs this year, from 1.1 million in 2018. The rapid growth has been driven partly by policy, but increasingly by consumer demand. A rising proportion of Chinese consumers simply prefer electric vehicles to traditional combustion vehicles, viewing them as a new and superior technology, and better value. With EVs continuously improving and getting more affordable, there’s a clear path to EVs taking 50% of market share in China by 2025.
Before I get to the letter, I should let you know, I don’t hate the Koch brothers like many readers do. I have worked with some of the organizations they support, like Americans for Prosperity (I worked with them to oppose government funding of sports stadiums, which benefit well connected rich sport fans but hurt everyone else) and several other projects, including criminal justice reform. Admittedly, I do also hate some of the actions that they have been accused of, like spreading misinformation on electric vehicles (EVs).
GenZe is realigning its strategy with the Mahindra Group in order to expand its electric bicycle (e-bike) and electric scooter (e-scooter) reach into the US market.
