And, of course, electric vehicles avoid the pollution associated with conventional cars, including emissions of carbon dioxide from burning gasoline. Yet they account for a tiny fraction…
Toyota plans to spend $35 million on partnerships with several universities, including Stanford, to study ways to make better batteries for electric vehicles. The Japanese automaker said the universities will use artificial intelligence to test different battery chemistry combinations and to explore whether other materials, such as magnesium, could be used to…
What would it take for you to buy an electric vehicle? Lower average prices can’t hurt — and as this chart from Statista shows, those have come a long way. As noted in a recent report from McKinsey & Company, advances in battery tech have helped the average battery pack price go down from about $1, /kWh to roughly $227/kWh since 2010. McKinsey says that figure…
Originally published on . Those interested in tracking the state of the electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing market will likely be interested in taking a look at the chart and table below — which provide a fair amount of data on the market as pertaining to consumer electric car batteries (not pertaining to “heavy duty” vehicles such as buses, or to energy…
Entering a standard indoor go-kart racetrack, your senses are usually accosted by the high-pitched scream of the engines and the petrol fumes as the karts race past, which is partly what gives go-karting its exhilarating atmosphere. However, these are aspects that are not so good for the wider environment or for the health of those working at the track all day…
