EV Obsession previously covered the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s support of climate action with EV shuttles at COP21. Well, here you have some math thanks to that support — the fleet of 200 electric vehicles saved 18 tons of […]
A new solid-state sodium battery development project being worked on by researchers at Iowa State University (amongst others) was recently awarded $3 million in new funding via ARPA-E’s 2015 OPEN funding initiative, according to recent reports. […]
In the latest episode of our Cleantech Talk podcast (embedded below), Kyle Field, Matthew Klippenstein, and I talk about early Tesla Model S drive unit problems and the implications for future models and Tesla as a […]
A new technology that reduces the internal resistance of solid-state lithium-ion batteries, and thereby improves charge-discharge performance, has been developed by researchers from Hitachi and Tohoku University’s Advanced Institute for Material Research. The new technology utilizes […]
More than 200,000 Nissan LEAFs have now been sold worldwide — with the company hitting the new milestone just before the model’s 5-year anniversary. The Nissan LEAF was first launched back in December 2010. The new […]
A new report from the European Environment Agency has revealed that long-term exposure to common air pollution is responsible for over 430,000 deaths a year in Europe, according to recent reports. It was found by the […]
More than 50,000 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid SUVs have now been sold in Europe by Mitsubishi Motors Europe, according to recent reports. The new sales milestone was achieved just 2 or so years after the launch of […]
Car owners in South Africa can save significant amounts of money by switching over to electric models, according to a new study from the uYilo e-Mobility Technology Innovation Programme at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The new […]
Originally published on Clean Power Research. By Gavin Novotny Is it possible to save more money by combining an electric vehicle (EV) with a home solar PV system rather than considering each individually? Often the answer […]
Originally published on CleanTechnica. By Mike Barnard The Tesla Model X is the first fully electric SUV in the world. It was announced with much fanfare — Bioweapon Defense Mode! Falcon-wing doors! Clown-car volumes of people […]
Originally published on CleanTechnica. By Mike Barnard Compared to gas, diesel, or electric options, hydrogen distribution and fueling will be more expensive, lose a lot of hydrogen, be harder to use, be dangerous in a way […]
A total of $6.6 million in new funding has been awarded by ARPA-E to two projects currently working to develop manufacturing techniques for ceramic electrolytes for solid-state electric vehicle batteries, as part of a new 2015 […]
Making a good example of just how anticipated the 2016 model year of the Chevy Volt was, it’s been revealed that roughly 86% of all Chevy Volts sold during November 2015 were of the 2016 model […]
US electric car sales are in, and they aren’t particularly uplifting. The big deal hitting sales seems to be that people are waiting for a longer-range Nissan LEAF (or a much longer-range LEAF), a longer-range BMW i3, and the […]
While lithium-ion batteries will remain the dominant modality for at least the next decade, alternative battery technologies — lithium sulfur (Li-S), Solid-State, etc — will rapidly grow in importance over that period of time, according to […]
