Rightsizing your vehicle to daily needs makes a lot of sense. If you’re driving a big truck around every day to work, and nobody else or their belongings ride with you, you’re throwing money away day in and day out. So, it makes sense to move to something that actually makes sense on a daily […]

A couple months ago, I told readers about Lucid’s plan to offer a 19.2 kW home charger. At the time, I pointed out that 80-amp home charging is something that Tesla used to offer, but that the industry (including Tesla) has moved away from such high home charging speeds. But, with Lucid offering its well-heeled […]

Winemaker Joseph Evans used to have an annual electricity bill for his Barossa Valley vineyard, Ballycroft, that had risen to $6000. He then installed a rooftop solar system that powers his entire property during daylight hours, immediately removing $4000 from his annual electricity bill.

If we could do that, and also build out the needed infrastructure for alternatives (charging stations, battery storage, etc.) by about 1 or 2 o’clock, we wouldn’t have […]

The Biden administration will implement a law passed by Congress to study geoengineering as a way of slowing global heating.

That's up from $5 billion in 2021.

A lot of EV models these days come with vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability as standard, which is pretty cool. For example, in Australia, the Hyundai IONIQ 5, the KIA EV6, the BYD Atto 3, and the MG ZS EV all come with V2L capability. V2L tech is proving that it is no longer just a nice-to-have […]

You all know by now how much the CleanTechnica team LOVES electric vehicles. So when we headed to Austin, TX, last month for a team retreat (and the Electrify Expo event – North America’s largest electric vehicle festival), we couldn’t drive around just any rental car. It had to be an EV. Thankfully our friends at UFODRIVE […]
