The International Energy Agency moved up the date when it expects oil demand to peak to before 2030. Electric vehicle growth is a big part of the reason.
Reports of electric vehicle fires might lead some people to fear the growing numbers of these vehicles will increase fire risk. In fact, replacing petrol and diesel vehicles is likely to reduce it.
Joe Biden’s ‘buy American’ effort with EVs likely violated World Trade Organization rules that the US helped create. The US has an opportunity now to update the system – if it’s willing to take it.
Canada should invest in sustainable transportation infrastructure to accelerate the green transition.
China is moving beyond oil and extractive commodities towards industrial production, job creation and investments that lead to exports.
Air travel emissions are proving difficult and costly to cut, but travellers can make a surprisingly big difference simply by changing how they travel to and from the airport.
A strike would shake up the auto industry, even though both the union’s ranks and the share of the US automotive market controlled by GM, Ford and Stellantis have been shrinking for decades.
Deep sea metallic nodules could help us shift to clean energy. But we don’t know how much damage it will do to ecosystems
Internal combustion engine cars still dominate global sales – it could be to do with the emotive influence they hold over drivers.
There is already a blueprint for a reliable network of charging stations. The industry can learn a lot from the petrol station giants – plus its chargers can harness the powers of digital technology.
For now, phosphate rock mining is dominated by China and Morocco.
The Indonesian president’s visit to Australia could lead to closer co-operation on the energy transition, with Australia supplying lithium for Indonesia’s electric vehicle and battery production.
China is a major investor in Latin America’s renewable energy and critical minerals like lithium, but countries like Chile are also taking steps to secure their own clean energy future.
Electric vehicles, in contrast to fuel-powered vehicles, have more mileage in city driving than highway driving. This is because they convert kinetic energy back to electric.
Illinois passed the latest law requiring new apartment buildings to be wired for EV chargers. Now apartment communities are figuring out the best ways to make shared charging work for everyone.
Why hydrogen vehicles should be developed alongside electric cars.
Faced with a Germany-led coalition seeking to ban internal-combustion-engine car sales from 2035, the EU needs to stay firm on its core economic principles.
One new battery plant is unlikely to save the UK auto industry, but it’s a step in the right direction.
The environmental impacts of electric vehicle batteries range from mining, and energy and water use to the hazards of discarded batteries. These issues can be resolved, but there’s no time to waste.
