Another quarter has wrapped up and we have more grand trends in the US auto industry. In the charts and text below, I’m comparing Q2 2021 (the second quarter of 2021) with Q2 2020 and also with Q2 2019. Naturally, year-over-year changes are interesting, but given how unique last year … [continued]
In our most recent episode of CleanTech Talk, I talked with Chanan Bos, CleanTechnica‘s Director of Digital Media. Last week, I published our chat about automobile infotainment systems.

I just published a report on the 30 best selling electric cars and SUVs across 10 European countries. The model races and rankings are always fun, but there’s more to explore and compare than just models. As we all know by now, some companies have focused on a small number … [continued]

Europe is at the heart of the EV revolution, both for electric cars production and adoption, with many countries boasting encouraging EV market share growth month after month. Following a promising first quarter, April is no different.
The first quarter of 2021 has offered an upbeat snapshot of EV sales throughout Europe, with a continued strong rise across all markets. Italy’s sales started off the year with softer growth than other countries, but a strong rebound at the end of Q1 means this year’s electric car sales stats are already impressing.
Tallying up US auto sales for Q1 2021 at long last, I was only slightly curious to see how they compared to Q1 2020 (and perhaps that’s why it took me so long). Clearly, with the US in lockdown for part of Q1 2020, it was just a poor quarter … [continued]
