A Sweden-based firm by the name of myFC is now accelerating its development of a hydrogen fuel cell range extender intended for use in plug-in electric vehicles, according to recent reports.
We reported a few days ago on the news that the largest spark plug manufacturer in the world was refocusing itself on solid-state battery tech based on the expectation that electric vehicles would eventually invalidate its spark plug business.
One important role drones could play would be to act as ambulances bypassing traffic jams where injured people can linger and eventually pass away stuck bumper to bumper.
From buying and selling electricity to raising capital for new ventures to securing the grid and valuing decarbonization directly, innumerable innovators from tiny startups to the largest technology firms and governments in the world are exploring how blockchain technologies can transform.
Elon Musk went on a Twitter rampage overnight, tweeting about all things great and small, from artificial intelligence to disco laser shows. Read all about it here.
Although we are far from the millions of plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles (EV) needed to slow down our pollution race, the 3 million mark of sold PHEVs and EVs has been reached globally.
EV Connect is building charging systems for multi-family buildings in New York City, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Raleigh. This is good news for hundreds of potential electric vehicle (EV) owners, as multi-family buildings have often been the Achilles heel for potential EV owners.
In the electric vehicle (EV) world, 2018 is shaping up to be the year of Chinese electric vehicles and global startups. China is doing everything it can to establish its international brand in this arena — perhaps the hottest new consumer market of the 21st century. It makes us wonder how the West will react? Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, GM, Daimler, and others have strong statements on electric vehicles and autonomous ones at that, but how prepared are each of them to genuinely compete?
Autonomous vehicles (AV) were all the rage this year, and we bet they will be the main topic of 2018. As much as we’ve covered the technicality of the AV challenge, we’re even more interested in the socioeconomic backbone of the technology. How will society coordinate self-driving cars and who exactly will pay for it all?
The NIO ES8 has been in the news lately. The new electric SUV from the Chinese startup (with billions in backing) certainly looks enticing, and Bloomberg has even called it competition to the Tesla Model X. Strong words, but are they founded on reality?
