How Volkswagen’s Dieselgate billions are helping to jump-start EV charging

Interstate high-speed charging corridors have emerged as popular options for spending the Volkswagen settlement fund in American states affected by the automaker’s emission scandal, writes Mike O’Boyle of think tank Energy Innovation. Coupled with public education and interstate planning, these corridors are a good use of these funds to decarbonize transportation, the author argues. … [Read more...]

Shipping to halve carbon footprint by 2050 under first sector-wide climate strategy

Global shipping must at least halve its emissions by 2050, according to an international deal adopted on Friday. Reaching an agreement on how to achieve this goal will be difficult as countries already challenge many proposed measures, writes Sara Stefanini of Climate Home News. Article courtesy Climate Home News. … [Read more...]

New research: Europe’s electricity networks are underused and can cope with electric cars

Electricity distribution networks in Europe run at well below their full potential, finds a new study from the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP). The findings imply that the unused network capacity could be utilised for charging electric vehicles with little or no need for additional capacity. Smart pricing and smart grid technologies will be the keys.   … [Read more...]

The Bosch solar complex: European companies should not give up on batteries just because they failed in solar

The Bosch solar complex: European companies should not give up on batteries just because they failed in solar

The decision of Bosch not to enter battery production may prove to be a historic mistake, writes Gerard Reid. Bosch was no doubt motivated by its failure in the solar power market, but according to Reid the battery market is very different. It is much more complex, involves much more technology and will be a critical pillar of the new economy. If Bosch and others don’t get over their solar complex, European industry may get seriously hurt.   … [Read more...]

How energy storage is starting to rewire the electricity industry

A world of low-cost batteries will transform the way the electricity and automotive industries operate and how homeowners, businesses and utilities produce and use power, write Eric Hittinger and Eric Williams of the University of Rochester. What is more, their research shows that storage is "future-proof" - it works no matter how the energy system evolves. Article courtesy The Conversation. … [Read more...]

Charging an electric vehicle is far cleaner than driving on gasoline

March 28, 2018 by Silvio Marcacci 21 Comments

Charging an electric vehicle is far cleaner than driving on gasoline

Contrary to what many critics claim, research shows that driving an EV produces significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cars powered only by gasoline, writes Silvio Marcacci of think tank Energy Innovation in San Francisco. And much less pollution.  This will only get better as the electricity mix becomes cleaner.  … [Read more...]

Shortage of electric cars in Norway puts climate strategy at risk

Thousands of Norwegians are currently waiting for their new electric car as car sellers cannot keep up with the surge in demand. This highlights both the success and the risks of the rapid electrification of Norway’s car fleet, write Steffen Kallbekken, Håkon Sælen, Erlend Hermansen and Elisabeth Lannoo of the CICERO Center for International Climate Research. They discuss the lessons the EU, currently reviewing the Clean Vehicles Directive, can … [Read more...]
