The Byron Bay Railroad Company’s charming 100% solar-powered train has been featured in a Fully Charged video, showcasing the possibility of zero-emission public transport. The train is super efficient, requiring 8.33 watt-hours per passenger kilometer, even with frequent stop–starting. With a 6.5 kW rooftop solar array and a lithium-ion battery on board, in peak solar hours, the train is effectively 100% self-powered.

Robert Llewellyn and the fine fellows over at the entertaining and informative Fully Charged show flew off to South Korea to spend some quality time in the new Hyundai NEXO fuel cell electric vehicle. They were able to tour it around the country before hopping on a Hyundai hydrogen fuel cell electric bus for a quick trip up into the mountains.
Oil and its allies are doing what they can to delay the day of reckoning, but it’s just a matter of time before fossil-powered vehicles join sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages, and bowler hats in making the transition from necessary to nostalgic. What will Big Oil do?
It’s been a while since we checked in with Easycharge.me and found out what’s new with its innovative LEVIAMP charger, which delivers a premium, easy-to-use, ceiling-mounted vehicle charging solution to indoor garages. But the company has apparently been busy nailing down its proprietary tech and looking for angels to help it scale up production.
Fully Charged, the popular YouTube channel hosted by British actor and electric cars’ advocate Robert Llewellyn, reached the next level last weekend as it turned into a live exhibition at Silverstone, UK’s famous F1 track.
