"Forget about range anxiety in Hainan. With more than 75,000 charging points, electric vehicle owners in urban areas of the tropical island in southern China are usually no more than a kilometre or two away from somewhere to power up their cars...The island has certain advantages when it comes to supporting EVs. It's about the size of Belgium or Taiwan...All of Hainan's taxis and buses are also electric."31 May 2023 | Synopsis
"The NTNU study reveals that despite its importance, recycling will not substantially alleviate the pressure on raw materials in the next decade."The study offers a lot of alternatives...anything we can do to reduce battery sizes in EVs, or even keep them from becoming even bigger, is key to getting through the next decade or two...For EVs, this means trying to promote a "less is more" approach. This will require increased efficiency..."

"The first test model was 7 percent the size of a standard business jet. The next model is roughly twice as large, with a number of subsystems added into the design. It took its initial test flight last year."The blended-wing-body aircraft is designed to reduce emissions by up to 50 percent compared to a standard business jet through a combination of aerodynamics and enhancements in propulsion."

"A new Nissan Leaf has an MSRP of $27,800 which already makes it the least expensive new electric car on the market...You can pick up a first-generation Leaf with 40,000 - 50,000 miles for around $10,000 according to Edmunds. Keep in mind that the first-generation Leaf was produced up until 2017, so these are still fairly new cars."Compared to its rivals, the Nissan Leaf stands out for one particular reason, its affordability."

"New research..published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds that recent adoption of EVs is driven overwhelmingly by technological advances, while general consumer preferences for EVs has changed little. Improvements like increased battery range, faster charging, falling prices, and reduced operating costs have made EVs an enticing option alongside their gas-powered counterparts."30 May 2023 | Synopsis
An extensive study led by University of Delaware researchers with collaborators at Dalhousie University and Georgia Tech may help dispel some of this 'range anxiety' associated with EVs."...this study tells us is that there is a segment of the market - between 25% to 37% of the driving population - where EVs with smaller batteries, combined with community charging, can meet all of their driving trip needs."

"Subject to the condition that the quality of life is not allowed to decline in any of these cities, tailor-made climate policy in transport can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 22% in 15 years."MCC "researchers used the NEDUM calculation model...applied four approaches to climate policy in urban transport, namely fuel taxes, efficient cars, investments in public transport or climate-friendly urban development..."

"Many of the elderly use Lao Tou Le - which literally means "joy for the elderly" - for short-distance journeys...These unlicensed vehicles are easy to drive because of their low speed."The manufacturers of these vehicles are often small rural or township enterprises or even workshops, and there are no national standards for the vehicles' production, which leads to some having poor quality.
"Beijing will ban illegal electric three-wheelers and four-wheelers from hitting the road and entering public spaces such as squares and carparks starting 2024."

"Since 2018, far more funding has been put into clean-energy development than into fossil fuels, and the gap continues to grow. Last year saw a record $2.8 trillion invested globally into energy sector, of which more than $1.7 trillion is dedicated to clean energy."For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, about 1.7 dollars are now going into clean energy. Five years ago, this ratio was one-to-one..."

Part 1 of a three-part series on these useful little vehicles. In today's segment, we’ll dive into the “what” and “why” of electric micro-cars...we'll set the stage for what could be the next big wave of tiny cars. In Parts 2 and 3 we’ll cover the legality of such vehicles and the options currently on the road."Their simpler design and smaller size also means that they generally cost much less than a traditional electric car, both to purchase and to charge."
Become a patron and help spread the good news of the world of electric vehicles.
