Originally published on CleanTechnica. More cities in the UK should be granted the enhanced powers allowing for the ban of highly polluting vehicles from city centers — powers being granted to London, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham, and Southampton — […]
Originally published on CleanTechnica. A new, fully functional lithium-ion battery design featuring high energy density and a good cycle life has been created by researchers at Hanyang University and BMW Group, according to recent news from […]
Originally published on CleanTechnica. A new atomic analysis methodology — one that will likely allow for the increasing of lithium-ion battery performance — has been developed by researchers at Nissan Motor Company and Nissan Arc, according […]
Originally published on CleanTechnica. This article jumps into 3 things: 1) my experience using (& loving) carsharing 10–12 years ago, 2) a new study out of London on the benefits of carsharing (or “car clubs” as they […]
The Finnish company Outokumpu, working in partnership with the German Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), has developed a new lightweight, stainless steel electric vehicle battery pack, according to recent reports. The two organizations have been […]
In-wheel electric motors developed by the Tecnalia Foundation have been performing much better than estimates before testing suggested they would — with power being 50% to 60% higher than expected — according to recent reports. As […]
Optodot Corporation and LG Chem have signed a new patent license agreement that will see the lithium-ion battery manufacturer granted the right to utilize the boehmite separators developed by Optodot, according to a new press release. […]
A new study from researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the independent engineering firm INNAS BV has found that, when the (presumed) additional weight of electric vehicles and other factors are considered, PM10 “emissions” from […]
Researchers at Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland recently completed work examining new methods of extracting lithium from natural brine sources — revealing that the new methods allow for an increase in the purity of the […]
Even relatively “low” levels of common air pollution damage the lung functioning of children, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care. The study found that children living within […]
The carbon architecture basis of lithium-ion battery anodes can be created from pollen grains, according to new research from Purdue University. The new work involved converting bee pollen and cattail pollen grains into carbon microstructures through […]
Plug-in hybrid energy efficiency can be improved by up to at least 12% through the use of “smart” energy management systems — rather than standard binary mode control — according to new research from the University […]
We get criticized a little bit for writing too much about Tesla. However, so far, Tesla is just in a very different league than all the other electric car producers. Not even speaking about the Tesla […]
Chinese manufacturers have taken over much of the overall manufacturing pie from the US, and many components of cars are produced in China. Now, there’s also a booming Chinese car market… in China. These cars, for […]
Nissan has announced that it will be producing future-generation EV batteries in Sunderland, in the UK. First of all, this is exciting news for Sunderland and the UK as a whole, as it means high-quality, high-paying […]
