Medium-, heavy-duty trucks will hit diesel cost parity by 2035
According to a new study by the U.S. Department of Energy, electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks will reach a cost parity with their diesel equivalents by 2035. The study says that with continued improvements in vehicle and fuel technologies (in line with U.S. Department of Energy targets and vetted with industry), zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) can
U.S. EV research spikes as gas prices rise
Let’s face it: Gas prices are a problem. But unlike the last time gas prices peaked, today there’s an intriguing option for avoiding the issue altogether: electric vehicles. And while most consumers have yet to actually pull the trigger on owning one of these vehicles, data shows that the thought of parking one in the
‘Electric Truck Hydropower’ could swap dams for EVs
Mountain regions have a large potential for hydropower that cannot be harnessed effectively by conventional technologies. However, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IISA) researcher Julian Hunt and an international team of researchers say they have developed a hydropower technology based on electric trucks that could provide a flexible and clean solution for electricity generation
Europe’s grid can support 100 million+ EVs, study says
Europe’s electricity grid will remain stable despite the exponential growth of the EV market and high electrification ambitions, reveals new EY-Eurelectric study. But timely planning of charging infrastructure and coordination between public authorities, electricity utilities, grid and charge point operators will be paramount to success, the study says. The advice of this study applies just
Ford studies life-cycle emissions from light-duty EVs vs ICE vehicles
Electrification can reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of light-duty vehicles, according to a recent study backed by Ford. Previous studies have focused on comparing battery electric vehicle (BEV) sedans to their conventional internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) counterparts. This study extends the analysis to different vehicle classes by conducting
Adoption of EVs to boost battery management system sales
The global battery management system market is projected to reach $32.3 billion by 2032 and exhibit growth at a CAGR of 19.6% between 2022 and 2032, according to a new report by Fact.MR. Emergence of cloud-connected battery management systems owing to the rising convergence of industrial technology and operations is set to propel the growth
