Aside from the EVS27 pictures and videos I already shared of the BMW i3, Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen e-Up!, Volkswagen XL1, EP Tender, Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, Nissan e-NV200, smart electric drive, Renault Twizy, the rest of Renault’s electric lineup, and some electric tuk tuks — as well as several other EVs I’m still … [continued]
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Olivier Onidi, Director of Innovative & Sustainable Mobility in the European Commission, about EU electric vehicle (EV) policy. He had some interesting things to say regarding overall EU policy as well as some country-specific policies. Here is a video of that interview: Estonia is … [continued]
I recently got a chance to check out the Nissan e-NV200 at EVS27 in Barcelona. Below are 5 pics of this electric van, followed by some key information about the vehicle and a couple of videos. (Note: All images are available for reuse, and even modification. The only requirement is that you give … [continued]
I attended the amazing Zayed Future Energy Prize Awards Ceremony tonight (for the second year in a row). The Zayed Future Energy Prize Awards Ceremony is sort of like the Academy Awards of cleantech — quite a show. This year, the event actually included a performance from The Human Orchestra, which has … [continued]

Below are most of my pics of these tuk tuks, followed by some information about the vehicles. (Note: All images are available for reuse, … [continued]
I got the chance today to visit (for the second time) Abu Dhabi’s Shams 1 concentrating solar power (CSP) plant, the largest single-unit CSP plant in the world. I’ll run through an overview of this CSP plant again, and then will also add some other details I gathered at the … [continued]
We’ve written a few times about the wickedly efficient (perhaps most efficient car in the world) Volkswagen XL1. I recently got to see the car over at EVS27 in Barcelona. Of course, I didn’t miss the opportunity to take a video and snap a few pics. Unfortunately, there was no … [continued]

One of the most notable people I talked with at EVS27 in Barcelona last month was Brian Wynne, President of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), President of the GoElectricDrive Foundation, Vice President of the World Electric Vehicle Association, and a member of the prestigious Committee of … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. The experience of Barcelona’s leading transit agency, Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), provides an excellent comparison of the key difference between battery-electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered vehicles, a difference that exists today and will exist indefinitely. TMB has been a member of Europe’s Hydrogen Bus Alliance for … [continued]
There were some pretty wicked cars at EVS27, cool wireless charging technology, Brammo electric motorcycles, and more, but the technology offering that excited me the most was what EP Tender is looking to bring to market. It’s nothing scientifically revolutionary. Actually, it’s quite simple. But it fills a gap in … [continued]
