To help electric vehicle owners affected by flooding New South Wales & Queensland (March 2022), we’ve put together some information about the risk of electric vehicle battery fire & electrocution.

Battery-powered Teslas, Fords, and Volkswagens aren't about to overwhelm the US electrical grid, despite what Tucker Carlson and some Republican politicians say. Last month, electric-vehicle skeptics had a field day when California's utility urged customers to conserve power during a scorching heat wave by not charging their cars during certain hours. Some conservatives questioned how the state expected to ban sales of combustion-engine cars by 2035 if it couldn't handle the number of EVs on the road today.

A nationally representative survey of 8,027 Americans shows that across all racial demographics, overall interest in purchasing electric vehicles is high. Among those surveyed, 33% of white respondents, 38% of Black respondents, 43% of Latinos and 52% of Asian Americans say they would “definitely” or “seriously consider” purchasing or leasing an EV as their next vehicle.

The vast majority of electric vehicle owners charge their cars at home in the evening or overnight. We're doing it wrong, according to a new Stanford study.

Covering parking lots makes both renewable energy and a more pleasant parking experience.

One of the largest consulting organizations in the world claims that investments in meat substitutes made from plants have a much bigger impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions than other green initiatives.

Worried about the proliferation of plastic trash in the environment and her own body, a journalist tried to shop plastic-free for 7 days. She found plastic in a lot of sneaky and surprising places.

You can't throw a steel ball these days without smashing the windows of a splashy new electric truck. The Ford F-150 Lightning, the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, the upcoming Chevy Silverado EV and Ram 1500 EV, and yes, the Tesla Cybertruck—all aimed at making electrification really matter for the American mainstream.

The past few weeks have taken me to Europe, and it's easy to see just how many new electric vehicles are on the roads over there. For example, in Germany, nearly 14 percent of new cars sold in 2021 were battery EVs, and another 12.5 percent were plug-in hybrids. Even Brexit-beleaguered Britain is having a BEV bonanza at 11.6 percent of new car sales last year.

Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil were displaced each day in 2021 due to Electric Vehicle usage. This quantity is slated to grow as EV uptake and usage continue to rise. These new, tangible effects of EV uptake are helping to challenge the opinion that such vehicles are a niche climate technology.

New Zealand’s government said Monday it will help pay for lower-income families to scrap their old gas guzzlers and replace them with cleaner hybrid or electric cars as part of a sweeping plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

If you are a young person and you know that your whole planet is being destroyed and is collapsing all around you, how can you go on in any sense of normalcy? These feelings of despair can be both A) absolutely unhealthy, and B) completely demotivating. Here's how the world can fight to change this oncoming climate change disaster.

There's a lot of talk about Grey Power - but when you harness that with electric power, you have the ability to transform communities off the beaten track. Trish Dunn is retired and hadn't been out on two wheels since she was 18. She didn't dream of biking until the e-bike revolution.

Climate change solutions for consumers typically are held to be home solar power systems, energy storage systems, electric vehicles or hybrid gas-electric vehicles, energy-efficient appliances, better home insulation, net-zero construction, and so forth. Broadly speaking, food waste is not at the top of such lists.

Single-use plastics are taking a huge toll on our planet. Our landfills and ecosystems are overwhelmed with food containers, cling wrap, single-use coffee cups, milk cartons, and more. Plastic pollution causes harm to humans, animals, and plants by its greenhouse gases and through the ingestion of microplastics, taking hundreds to thousands of years for plastic to break down, causing permanent damage.

The study finds that the total indirect emissions from EVs pale in comparison to the indirect emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

For electric vehicle owners who long for the freedom of the open road, range anxiety has been a constant source of concern. The Biden administration hopes to change that, announcing this week a multi-billion-dollar plan to beef up the nation's electric vehicle charging system — a step experts say is vital to reducing America's carbon footprint and improving the accessibility and practicality of nontraditional vehicles.

Berkeley Lab engineers have developed a roof coating that can keep a building warmer or cooler, depending on the weather. When it’s warm out, the material will reflect sunlight and heat, but this radiative cooling automatically switches off in winter, reducing energy use for both heating and cooling.

The sales pitch for hydrogen is heating up, although not as much as the Hindenburg did in 1937. In the UK, there are even advertisements for the fuel on the London Underground, which is quite an odd thing to see next to posters about the latest iPhone and vitamin supplements. It’s not like the average employee on their way to work is going to rush out and buy some H2 before reaching the office.

Tesla is now worth more than all the other major car makers put together, but how ethical is its supply chain? Darragh MacIntyre meets the African nuns who say Elon Musk’s company must do better.
