Every year we see some adventurers embarking on e-races and trips all around the world. I have myself reported on a few by Tomek Gać in Europe, from Poland to Macedonia and Sicily, and by Arkady Fiedler across Africa.
Within two weeks in June, I read two articles on CleanTechnica that somehow made me blush a little. The first one openly said the era of PHEVs must end (something I have said a few times myself, to be honest) and the second one was on SUVs being responsible for growing transport emissions in the EU. The reason I blushed was that a few days before the first of the two articles came out, I had decided to buy (or, to be precise, long-term hire/rent) a PHEV SUV, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4.
What trends are emerging about coal-burning in Europe?
This title is of course pure click bait. Elon should not have to listen to me. This should be the competence of some executives at Tesla Europe HQ in Amsterdam. But Tesla California HQ could indeed ask why this writer is yammering about the European sales infrastructure (or lack thereof).
Tesla has been expected to do something about this for years. With the Model 3 entering production, it became urgent. Now that the Model 3 is entering Europe, it is baffling.
Electric vehicle conferences pop up left and right these days. Which ones should you attend? How about the ones where I’m presenting and moderating panels?
The equivalent of a cancer cell in our society is a corporation that has lost all sense of social responsibility. It is an entity which has forgotten that it is part of an organized society where all of its members work together for the benefit of all. That cancerous corporation sees its purpose in life as only to gain as much as it can for itself, and to grow, multiply, and prosper, at the expense of the society it is meant to serve.
A little EV dreaming and rubbing some salt into the wounds of struggling carmakers can have great consequences. This is where hyper EVs — or electric hypercars — fit in. Although they might have little direct effect on most people, their outrageous performance stunts send a serious messages to carmakers insisting on gasoline technology — that era is ending. Alieno Arcanum shows what an electric drivetrain can deliver, and you won’t believe how outrageous it is.
Around the world, cities endeavor to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while adapting to the threats – and opportunities – presented by climate change. It’s no easy task, but the first step is to make a plan outlining how to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement, and help limit the world’s mean temperature rise to less than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Electric vehicle enthusiasts join various races, challenges, and events all over the world. They are great ways to publicize electric vehicles (EVs). Ever since Poland joined the rEVolution, there have been many such efforts, big and small — including Tesla Shuttle and CleanTechnica’s attempt at a single-charge driving distance record (which we couldn’t set) and our upcoming exploration through 12 Central and Eastern European countries.
