The impulse to be sustainable — driven by the incessant pressure to lower our emissions — often manifests as lowering consumption and increasing reuse alongside reforms like tweaking consumer behaviour. Electric vehicles are the site of many of these changes, aided by state-led incentives and subsidies. Regenerative braking is an important mechanism in these vehicles that increases their energy use efficiency. What is braking? Braking is the mechanism by which an automotive vehicle in motion...

Isn’t California broke? I seem to remember that the impeccably coiffed Governor Newsom had, at last report, managed to take a state with a comfortable budget surplus and convert that to a staggering deficit. That makes it a bit of a head-scratcher when they adopt policies like cutting off the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in favor of electric vehicles (EV). But (as always) there’s a catch. Now we learn that the state’s power grid will require $20 billion in...

The dip in electric vehicles’ (EVs) popularity is because there is a “lack of skilled labour” in dealing with secondhand EVs, according to a used car dealer.  The Irish Daily Mail reported today the goal to have a million EVs by the end of the decade has seemingly reached a dead end.  Blame has been laid at the foot of Transport Minister Eamon Ryan for failing to develop infrastructure that will facilitate EVs in the long-term.  User and new car dealer Nadia Adan told The Anton Savage S...

The Global Electric Vehicle Charging Socket Market size is expected to grow from USD 60.36 Million in 2022 to USD 257.81 Million by 2030, at a CAGR of 19.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030). A piece of equipment known as a charging station supplies electrical power for plug-in electric vehicle charging. It’s also known as an electric car supply equipment or a charging point. The two main categories are AC charging stations and DC fast chargers. Because it is convenient and inexpensiv...

Not to imply that Politico is desperately shilling for Joe Biden, but a new editorial by GOP consultant Mike Murphy tries to imply that Republicans opposing a proposition that has mounting problems and diminishing interest will become a poison pill for the party come November. The electric vehicle market has been a pet project of Joe Biden since he took office, and it has proven a failing enterprise since. One indicator of the wrong-headed approach was seen from Pete Buttigieg recently, as he ap...
