2022 was a big year for BYD. The company sold 1,868,543 “new energy vehicles.” Battery electric vehicles and plugin hybrid vehicles are called new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China, and BYD is the leader in terms of volumes of NEV sales. BYD sold 946,239 “DM super hybrids” (plug in hybrids) last year. BYD also sold […]

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory say they have found ways to make stable lithium-sulfur batteries that last 700 cycles.

In the republic of Ireland, they are planning to install 7 GW of offshore wind by 2030. The first step, the issuing of Maritime Area Consents (MACs), occurred in December 2022. “Seven new projects, amounting to 2.5GW, will enter the Irish planning system and are expected to take part in ORESS 1, the first round […]

I’m not going to lie, I’m not big on math. I did okay in high school and college in math classes, but I didn’t pursue a science, engineering, or other technical degree. So, I’m probably not the person to go to if you want a deep look at the numbers behind a clean technology. But […]

To reach the federal government’s goal of 50% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030, the US needs 1.4 million EV chargers. What might we expect in 2023 to further those goals?

Zenobē, an EV fleet and battery storage specialist, and Marcopolo, the world’s third largest bus manufacturer, will investigate shared opportunities to support the decarbonization of passenger transport. As many customers start with significant grid constraints on their journey to electrify their fleets, Zenobē works with them to understand their requirements.
