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.
A few years back, I met Kitty Adams and got introduced to her incredible idea, Adopt A Charger. Ever since, the business model has matured and is now reaching across the US and now Europe.
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.
… And What it Might Have Missed …
Lazard has produced its latest analysis of energy production costs in Lazard’s Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis – Version 11.0. Lazard is one of a small group of organizations whose incomes are dependent on customers who are investors and need the most accurate information possible. If Lazard makes a statement that is widely off the mark, it means that investors will not make the money they feel they should, and in fact they may even lose money. So Lazard has a powerful vested interest in being right. This is what makes its Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) information so important.
We’re more than 50% through the first day of our first EV charging conference —West Meets East: Charging Central & Eastern Europe’s Electromobility Revolution — which is part of our Cleantech Revolution Tour. Hundreds of useful comments have already been thrown around, but I’m going to try to consolidate some of the top points.
Boosted Boards is widely known as the leader in electrified skateboards. The very usable design — with 7 miles of range, an intuitive controller, and rider-friendly specs — made the first Boosted Board a winner off the line. It was more than capable as an around-town commuter board, a solution to the last mile for many transit riders, and perhaps most importantly, just a ton of fun to ride.
