If you’re like me at all, getting a new e-bike makes you feel like Pee Wee Herman. It’s fun! It’s fast! It helps you get exercise! In some cases, it’s even a part of your daily routine and helps you make a living. Either for work or for fun, you … [continued]
We write about CO2 emissions of fossil fuels quite a bit on CleanTechnica, but there is something that bears repetition as well. It is that renewable energy typically uses much less water than other electricity sources. The overuse of water, including for our power plants, is something that critically threatens our children.
An idea for Tesla’s Sentry Mode would be to make it crowdsourced, which could be called “Super Sentry” or “Crowd Sentry.”
Tesla is an innovation powerhouse. As part of that, it publishes a fair number of patents. We don’t get around to publishing stories on every interesting patent we see, so here’s a quick roundup of Tesla patents published in recent months that we haven’t covered.
Tesla has been under fire for a rash of break-ins to the Tesla Model 3, but now the company is firing back with an upgrade to the security system that will be pushed down to the deployed fleet by way of a software update.
Security seems to be a vague concept for most. With the constant flow of security breaches taking their toll on businesses, carmakers have no choice but to toughen up their security by reaching out to security firms.

Dassault Systèmes and CITE Research sent us the findings of a survey for understanding how consumers expect technology to impact their lives by the year 2030. The survey focused on home, travel, health, and retail. This comes on the heels of another NPR survey that says Americans are feeling more optimistic about their personal future, just not about politics. The study shows consumers expect Hyperloops, fully connected smart home systems, mobile payments, and personalized preventive health plans, among other things.
Co-creation is all the rage lately, but it can amount to little more than focus groups after decisions have been made. In our ongoing Byton series, the company invited us to its co-creation event. This showed how the green mobility global startup is using early input to catch potential problems.
It took longer than expected, but connected EV home chargers are showing their potential danger in an era of the Internet of Things (IoT). Kaspersky Lab has reported finding a serious flaw for home networks with connected EV chargers.
CleanTechnica will cover the LA Auto Show 2018 this coming week, as we have regularly done for the past few years. Since this year is light on electric vehicle (EV) and autonomous vehicle (AV) unveilings, we will concentrate on forums, as well as leading-edge startups. One forum we look forward to covering is the Car Design Forum 2018.
