Research by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office estimates the cost of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery pack declined 87% between 2008 and 2021 (using 2021 constant dollars). The 2021 estimate is $157/kWh on […]
“The United States has the critical mass of expertise in batteries, aviation, propulsion, and system integration to invent the power source for the next 100 years of aviation,” the white paper concludes.
To underscore the importance of EVs in the economy, public health, and environment, National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) – which was created a decade ago to drive awareness about EVs – is being held this year from September 25 to October 3.
The traffic decline associated with the pandemic resulted in only half as much fuel being wasted in 2020 compared to 2019.
A new Argonne study offers the most complete understanding yet of the costs of owning and operating a vehicle and how those costs vary by powertrain, from the conventional to the cutting-edge. Advanced vehicle technologies are […]
Originally published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory Researchers: Madhu Sudhan Chinthavali, Group Leader, & Steven L Campbell, Rafal P Wojda, Clayton T Hickey Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers demonstrated their wireless charging technology on an autonomous electric […]
Over the last three years, most of the battery cells and packs used in new U.S. light-duty plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) were produced in the United States. Each plug-in electric vehicle has a battery pack made […]
In September 2020, the governor of California signed an Executive Order requiring zero emissions for all new light-duty passenger vehicles by 2035. The California Air Resources Board will put regulations in place accordingly. Thirteen other states […]
NREL and DOE Experts Offer Fresh Perspective on Technical and Economic Challenges, Call for Collaborative Solutions to Decarbonization With recently announced federal emissions-reduction targets, a push for national power-sector decarbonization, and plummeting wind and solar costs, […]
Vehicle Technologies Office Transportation Analysis Fact of the Week #1186 Electric vehicles are more efficient than internal combustion vehicles, but fuel cost comparisons can be complicated due to differences in the units of measure. To address […]

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Federal Fleet Project Leader Cabell Hodge has a lot to think about these days. With the Biden administration announcing a push to electrify the entire federal fleet, NREL’s work supporting energy-savvy fleet […]
In 2009, there were 245 new electric vehicle (EV) charging outlets installed nationwide, but by 2019 that number had risen to more than 20,000 new installations. From 2017 to 2019, about 5,000 new charging outlets were […]
Hyperloop technology has been proposed as an innovative means for intermediate range or intercity travel, used for both passenger and freight transportation with the goals of time-saving, convenience, quality of service and, in some cases, increased […]
California had 11.96 plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) registrations per 1,000 people in 2018, followed by Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon, which each had more than five PEV registrations per 1,000 people. Sixteen states had PEV registrations greater […]
