Cutting global heating emissions relies in huge part on electrifying transport. Electrifying transport relies on massively scaling up mining & processing of a handful of minerals. The most famous of those minerals is lithium. The #1 provider in the world of lithium for EV batteries is Albemarle Corporation. For the state of North Carolina, that […]

People are often scared of change, and look for reasons to justify not wanting to change. This has certainly been the case with electric vehicles for the past decade. There are so many misperceptions and there are so many misleading attacks on electric vehicles. At the same time, across the public at large, there’s not […]

In this article, I try to mostly ignore the Elon Twitter drama and the TSLA stock drama and focus on how much has changed for Tesla buyers interested in the Model 3 or Model Y, their two lowest price models right now. I’ve been a fan of the Model 3 and Model Y and my […]

Enabling much more renewable energy to be added to the grid in high-wind and high-solar Ningxia, China, a giant new energy storage system has been installed and connected to the grid. The 200MW/400MWh is the “largest stand-alone energy storage station with a Hithium LFP battery inside,” Hithium writes. “As the largest of its kind in China […]

The Southern California utility company SDG&E has a goal of electrifying 100% of its fleet of vehicles (passenger cars, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles) by 2030. It has provided an update that it has now reached 20% and is on track for that 2030 target. SDG&E also has a goal of reaching net zero […]

Toyota has hemmed and hawed about its entry into the EV marketplace. A new parody calls them out for their zero commitment to electrify their full fleet.

Canada has adopted rules requiring the sale of zero emissions vehicles that closely follow those crafted by California.

Clean energy is great anywhere, but it’s especially appreciated and valuable on land that can’t be used for much else. Landfill solar projects have been a very popular type of clean energy project as a result. The latest such project to get under construction is a 10 megawatt (MW) community solar landfill project being developed […]

The renewable energy transition involves harnessing epic forces of nature. Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. Wind turbines with blades each the size of a 12-story building punctuate the skyline of wind-swept fields and help power entire cities. What is one […]

Following in the footsteps of Intellihub, EVX is planning to install 30,000 pole-mounted electric vehicle chargers across the Ausgrid network by 2029. Whereas Intellihib planned for 50 EV chargers, EVX is expecting to install 30,000. Quite a leap in the last 6 months for the electric charging pole dance. In partnership with the City of […]
