We published 509 articles in October. It’s rather hard to read every single one — I’m not sure if anyone does, but I can tell you that I don’t have time for that and I’m the director and chief editor of the site! We publish weekly and monthly roundups of the most popular articles, but I’ve felt like something was still lacking. So, I’ve decided to jump into a couple of new monthly reports — one for electric vehicles (this one) and one for solar energy + stationary energy storage.
Volta introduced free charging for electric vehicles (EV) years ago. And yes, that’s free as in free beer. Still today, there’s a free Volta charging system.
Recently, I conducted an interview with Daniele Schillaci, Nissan’s EVP of Global Sales & Marketing, for CleanTechnica. Danielle reveals a little more about the new 2018 Nissan LEAF and its different design.

If you grew up in the 1980s, you might have fond memories of the Ferrari 308 that Tom Selleck drove in the Magnum P.I. series. And if you also grew up with that generation, you’ve probably also lusted after one. Would you scream sacrilege if one were converted to electricity? We didn’t and we loved the long ride we had in the ElectricGT 308.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard and talked about the genZe electric bicycles (e-bikes), and the company has since released the followup to its e-101, the e-201. The new genZe e-201 e-Bike is out and connectivity is the name of game.
I just moved into a new house, and my housemate and I have differing ideas of how bright the kitchen should be. At first, this meant we were constantly climbing onto the counter to unscrew/screw in the kitchen bulbs to dim or brighten the kitchen as needed. Not the most logical solution, I know.
The shift away from fossil fuels to clean technology options is so dramatic that I think it can’t even be overrated. But one thing that means is that many “invisible” laws of human society will be ripped up, tossed out, and will create resulting commotion and challenge.
Didi Chuxing (China’s Uber-like ride-hailing service) has been in the news recently. It announced 1) plans to create its own electric car charging network, 2) a partnership with NEVS for one million electric self-driving cars, 3) that it’s a partner in Changan Automobile Group’s $15 billion Shangri La electric vehicle transition plan, and 4) that it has the world’s largest EV ridesharing fleet.
