[ad_1] Researchers there have created a way to produce hydrogen on demand using water, carbon dioxide and cobalt. Theoretically, that would go directly into a fuel cell, where it would mix with oxygen to generate electricity and water. The electricity would then power the EV’s motor, rechargeable battery and headlights. According to UMass Lowell, the […]

Oslo is working on wireless charging for its electric taxis
[ad_1] Fortum, a Finnish utility which is working on the project, claims typical hard-wired charging is too time-consuming. This system should keep cabs on the road more often than not, as they’ll top up their batteries while idling at taxi ranks. Norway’s residents have largely embraced EVs. A third of new cars sold in the […]
The Nissan Leaf Plus adds more EV range but not more fun
[ad_1] At its heart, the Nissan Leaf Plus is a great little electric hatchback. During my tests, I found it to be a capable car that delivers on nearly all of its promises. It’s efficient, full of most of the latest tech with a surprisingly spacious trunk. But it’s missing something: fun. Not that there’s […]
Fisker plans to release an electric SUV under $40,000 in 2021
[ad_1] There’s one main issue: you’ll have to wait. Fisker doesn’t expect a drivable prototype until sometime before the end of 2019, and a production model won’t be ready until the second half of 2021. That’s around the same time that Tesla plans to deliver its sub-$40K Model Y, but roughly a year after higher-priced […]
Tesla drops mid-range Model 3 battery option
[ad_1] We’ve asked Tesla if it can comment on the decision. There are a few potential explanations for the move. Electrek noted that Tesla added the Mid Range option in October of last year as a way of lowering the price for pre-order customers who wanted to take advantage of the full EV tax credit […]
The Polestar 2 is more than just a pretty face
[ad_1] This meant we had to wait until we hit the ground in Geneva to check out the first electric vehicle from (parent brand) Volvo. What we encountered was a vehicle that’s nearly on par design-wise with the breathtaking (yet hybrid) Polestar 1. This shouldn’t be too surprising considering that a focus on design is […]
Riding in Tesla’s very quick Model Y crossover
[ad_1] The newest Tesla didn’t disappoint off the line. With a zero to 60 potential of 3.5 seconds, the dual-motor variant of the vehicle they drove us in was quick. It kept me glued to my seat as it burned through electrons. There’s no ludicrous mode, but its acceleration should keep its future owners happy. […]
Tesla unveils its Model Y crossover
[ad_1] With an estimated 300 mile range and current starting price of $42,700 (a 230 mile, $39,000 Standard will begin production in 2021), the Model Y buts up against offerings from Kia and Hyundai. But once you start stacking features into the vehicle, it starts bleeding into the range of Audi’s E-Tron and Jaguar’s I-Pace. […]
Trump’s 2020 budget proposal cuts the EV tax credit
[ad_1] Before you rush out to buy a plug-in car to score the incentive before it disappears, know that it’s unlikely the proposed budget will pass through Congress. With the House of Representatives currently ruled by a Democratic majority, any Trump proposal is likely to face stiff opposition. Automakers have been lobbying Congress to extend […]
After Math: It's the circle of tech
[ad_1] While most of us now need Buzzfeed quizzes about "things only '90s kids would recognize" to remember what a Blockbuster is, the franchise's inevitable demise is still something to be commemorated — if only by finally returning that VHS copy of Batma… [ad_2] Source link
