On behalf of the organization for the Danish energy industry Dansk Energi, Søren Jakobsen from the alliance of Danish EV promotion Dansk Elbil Alliance reports from the Nordic EV Summit in Oslo, Norway.
Chief engineer and founder of Podbike Per Hassel Sørensen assures us that this is a bike, even if it looks like a car. He says it’s a 4-wheel electric bike with features not found in any other bike.
We are indeed in the era of wind, but solar is booming, and wind will eventually not be feasible — even with the help of batteries.
To have a drone infrastructure work in real life, electricity supply must be stable, and wireless communication must be very reliable. But that is becoming the norm many places on Earth earlier classified as off-grid.
Agricultural robots — nicknamed agbots — are beginning to surface around the world, and it is happening in stages. Very different and more or less complex systems are needed for different tasks like harvesting, berry picking, cultivating, plowing, and sowing.

The plan, called The Blue Denmark, covers 36 different growth potentials — one of them is about modernizing the ferries connecting the many small populated islands to the mainland.
While Norway can be the proud of record-breaking 21% all-electric new car sales, Denmark is falling shamefully behind. One political blunder after the other has killed the EV market in the country, like the recent lowering of taxes on fossil fuel cars.

I heard Jesse Watters on Fox News explain that the s***hole remarks were just harmless bar talk, but if we can agree that the White House is in fact the office of the most powerful administration in the world — and not a bar — then the following will make sense. If you think the White House is in fact a bar, you have nothing to worry about and I would suggest you stop reading further.
The EU Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program in 2017 granted the two major electric mobility companies operating in Denmark — CLEVER and E.ON — financing for new ultra-fast charging stations. The former is now unveiling its first design.
My lease is up. My BMW i3 — my snappy and ugly duckling — has been returned to AVIS. There was a waiting line, so no chance of extending the lease. I have a reservation for the Tesla Model 3 due to be delivered by the end of the year. So, while I ponder on what to do next, let me recap which EVs I have experienced in the last 7 years.
