The U.S. EV charging network Ionna is picking up speed in its infrastructure build-out as the nascent network aims to make good on its promise of installing tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers over the next five years.
Toyota’s battery manufacturing facility in North Carolina is ready to begin production after a nearly $14 billion investment. Batteries for Toyota and Lexus electrified vehicles sold in North America will begin shipping in April. This is the company’s first in-house battery factory outside Japan.
Florida students will be breathing a bit easier this year thanks to the deployment of 13 new Blue Bird electric school buses — some of which will be replacing diesel buses that have been service for over twenty years!
But experts from Stanford University have found the opposite is true for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Their new research shows traditional laboratory testing leads to faster degradation, while real-world use gives substantially more battery life, extending the lifespan of the entire EV. Researchers found the stop-start way we drive and the variable rate the battery discharges power actually prolongs battery life by up to 38% compared to traditional tests.
Several automakers, including Honda, Hyundai, Ford, and Kia, reported higher EV sales in the US in January. Here’s a look at some of the top-selling EV models (outside of Tesla) last month.
Electric vehicles are quiet, and that's a real problem. At least it is if you compete in a racing series that wants to hold its audience's attention in an evolving automotive landscape. For NASCAR, a series practically synonymous with the sound of dozens of V-8 engines thundering around oval tracks, it could be a fatal flaw.
Stardust Power (Nasdaq: SDST), a US battery-grade lithium product developer, has officially broken ground on its $1.2 billion lithium refinery in Oklahoma, which will be one of the largest in the US.
Owners of electric cars in Vermont recently got a letter from the Department of Motor Vehicles with some bad news. Starting Jan. 1 they would have to pay $178 a year to register their cars, twice as much as owners of vehicles with internal combustion engines.
DETROIT (AP) — While President Donald Trump took aim at the electric vehicle industry this week, there is still optimism about the industry’s future in Michigan, a state retooling from America’s most recognizable auto hub to its number one destination for electric vehicle investment.
Cold winters are bad news for EV batteries. But with a heat pump — the same climate-friendly heating system that helps buildings stay warm with less energy — electric cars can run longer in freezing temperatures.
