Tesla Model Y teardown shows Toyota what it’s up against
The Tesla teardown is a staple of the EV literature. Teardown expert Sandy Munro has taken apart many a Tesla, with highly informative (and entertaining) results. Various legacy automakers have performed their own private teardowns—rumor has it that, when the Model 3 first appeared, a group of German automakers paid an enormous sum to have… Read more »
CEC provides $30 million in incentives for shovel-ready EV charging projects across California
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has launched a $30-million incentive project to bring fast EV charging stations to 30 counties in Eastern California, the Central Valley and the Central Coast. The Golden State Priority Project, a part of the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP), focuses on bringing fast charging stations to disadvantaged, low-income and… Read more »
ICCT study: Battery-electric trucks emit 63% less GHG emissions than diesel
A favorite trope of the “better stick with oil” crowd is that EVs aren’t any cleaner than ICE vehicles, because fossil fuels are consumed to manufacture and to charge them. Of course, all human activities have environmental footprints, but over the past decade, numerous studies have affirmed the lower lifecycle emissions of EVs compared to… Read more »
How to use location analytics to optimize your public EV charging strategy and business models (Webinar)
As the transition to EV accelerates, the opportunities for charging operators to invest and build public charging infrastructure remain boundless. The market is growing exponentially, with retailers, gas station owners and convenience stores also taking advantage as they install charging onsite, attracting more customers and creating new revenue streams. However, there is no “one size… Read more »
Hyundai’s 2023 IONIQ 6 achieves range of 361 miles in EPA testing
The new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 has completed final EPA testing. Different trim levels earned different estimated range figures, but the star of the show was the IONIQ 6 SE RWD Long Range variant, which achieved an EPA-estimated range of 361 miles. The EPA testing also awarded a 140 combined MPGe rating to the IONIQ… Read more »
