It’s no surprise we’ve finally reached the point of no return―no, not that point of no return. I’m talking about the positive one where we all convert to green technologies seemingly overnight and save the planet in less time than it takes an EV to go 0 to 60 off...
In a new study conducted by Energy Innovation, a policy and technology LLC, EVs were found to be cheaper off the lot in most states than gasoline-powered vehicles despite their typically higher sticker price. In Q1 of 2021, nearly 81% of new-car buyers chose to finance their purchases, while 34.5%...
Last week, the Biden-Harris administration proposed new standards for the National Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (NEVI) program, a “key piece” of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in November of 2021. The NEVI Formula Program, which will provide $7.5 billion in funds for the construction of publicly available electric vehicle charging...
We’ve already covered several reasons why consumers put off the conversion to electric vehicles. Major factors include dreaded range anxiety or the misinformed belief that electric vehicles are always more expensive than internal combustion engines. These concerns are alleviated easily enough when the available data is examined, often reorienting EVs...
When we think about the conversion from a fossil fuel-reliant fleet to one powered by electricity, a lot of us probably envision some version of already-existent gasoline fueling architecture: Sleek electric chargers replace pumps, the long charging hose reminiscent of those used to pump gasoline in the distant past.
With boons to the EV industry over the last several years, it’s easy to believe that the United States is on a path to be an electrified superstar. Tesla, an undebatable giant in the EV world, is based primarily in the United States and produces the majority of its cars...
If you live in California or other parts of the western United States, you’ve likely heard terms like “energy resiliency” or “energy redundancy” tossed around. With climate change causing high temperatures, reduced hydropower generation and increased wildfire risk, the need for California and other states’ grids to be strengthened has...
It’s no secret that the conversation surrounding the positive effects of mass electric vehicle adoption primarily revolves around reducing environmental impacts relating to the climate. However, the state of California’s very public attempt to combat climate change, while a definitive net positive, eschews a supplementary effect of mass EV adoption:...
Earlier this week, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, marking the “largest federal clean energy investment in U.S. history,” at an estimated $300 billion. According to the White House, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by a billion metric tons over time, 950 million solar panels and...
Despite recent economic woes and soaring inflation across nearly all goods and services, the trend of buyers converting to electric vehicles― battery or hybrid― hasn’t slowed down a bit in the first half of this year. In fact, all notable metrics point to the exact opposite: BEV and PHEV purchases...
