Tesla may have postponed its plans to produce electric cars in Mexico, but Volkswagen is stepping in to fill that hole. Volkswagen is now saying that it will build electric cars down in Mexico. Naturally, it could end up that Tesla and Volkswagen start EV production at around the same … [continued]
Automakers need to embrace EVs for their own continued success as well as proving that they are dedicated to improving the communities in which they sell their vehicles.
As previously reported on CleanTechnica, Australian states and territories are reviewing trucking regulations around the width and weight of prime movers and their “dogs.” Various trials are taking place around the country, to make sure that Australia is ready for electric trucks. Volvo is now pleased to announce that it … [continued]
One of the largest studies to date finds the current generation of EV owners drive far fewer miles than owners of gas vehicles, translating to lower emissions savings from EVs. A new study from researchers at the George Washington University suggests that emissions savings from electric vehicles (EV) might be … [continued]
Six of the 13 EPA size classes had at least one vehicle with EPA-rated fuel economy greater than 100 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) for model year 2023. Midsize and large electric vehicles (EVs) had the highest fuel economy, tying at 140 MPGe. Vehicles with conventional gasoline-powered drivetrains had the … [continued]
How much technological and economic idiocy can be jammed into a single week and why does it have to rhyme? Quite a lot it turns out and no idea. Two different clearly nonsensical purported climate solution technologies received far too much fawning press in the past few days. The first … [continued]
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today launched the Powering the Blue Economy™: Power at Sea Prize, which will award up to $1.7 million to competitors to advance technologies that use marine energy to power ocean-based activities. Next-generation maritime or “blue” technologies are moving farther offshore to capture data across the … [continued]
The future of cars is electric. That’s not just what I think, it’s not just what is required to slow climate change, it’s what many of the world’s automakers have publicly stated. However, over the last month several automakers have said the transition from gasoline to electric vehicles (EVs) will need to slow down, … [continued]
Battery-electric vehicle stakeholders are adjusting their business models to support the rising demand for hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in semiconductor and in-space manufacturing collaborated on a white paper that outlines how microgravity benefits the production of semiconductors and related materials. Earth’s gravitational forces pose substantial barriers to quick, high-yield semiconductor production. Microgravity offers a path to overcome these barriers. There are also substantial practical … [continued]
