Need to write a press release about some electric vehicle (EV) vaporware? Need to counter another announcement from Tesla? Need to act like you’re on the cutting edge of auto tech and the burgeoning car-as-a-service (CaaS) market? Need to fend off the shareholder push to be an electrification leader? Have no fear — an EV press release template is here!
A study conducted by Nissan and Enel shows that electric car owners can get paid more than $1,500 a year if they participate in a V2G program and that doing so actually extends battery life.
Hyundai says it will bring 8 electric car models to market over the next few years including a long range luxury sedan for its Genesis division in 2021 and an electric Kona SUV in 2018.
This weekend, members of the Tesla Shuttle crew are going to attempt to break the world record for miles/kilometers driven on a single charge in an electric car. The attempt is being led by Tomasz Gać, founder/CEO of Quriers and co-founder of Tesla Shuttle. But I’m also one of those people and will be doing a good chunk of the driving — weather permitting. A third co-founder, Jacek Fior, and I did a test drive for several hours recently. Below the video (and in the video chat) are some of my notes from that test drive.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has projected demand of around 700,000 cars a year for the Tesla Model 3. Some of you think that’s optimistic. Some of you think it’s pessimistic. Some of you probably wouldn’t bet one way or the other. Below are a few considerations on each side of the coin.
We’re in the business of communications here at CleanTechnica. We have to constantly consider how to communicate in a useful, interesting, and clear way. One topic that comes up practically every day is how to balance simple messages with the extra depth, nuance, and details that create a more complete story.
Hyundai introduced its next generation fuel cell powered SUV in Seoul this week. The as yet unnamed car will go on sale in 2018 with as much as 400 miles of range.
Much has been written about the Tesla Model 3, its expected sales, and its potential impact on the auto industry and other automakers. However, a comment today from “Dan” struck me and stimulated this article.
The title alone is sure to get me slammed as a “Tesla fanboy.” Top-selling car in the USA a Tesla? Sacrilege!
This coming weekend, Tomasz Gać, Jakub Stechly, and I are going to attempt to break the world record for miles driven in an electric car on a single charge. This attempt was planned before a group of Italians recently crushed the previous record, so they’ve certainly made our task more difficult, but we’re still hopeful. Weather permitting, the last charge of a Tesla Model S 100D will take place on Saturday evening. The route is basically Poznań–Łódź–Wrocław–Łódź–Wrocław (with some nuance).
Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival.
