Charged

AUGUST 7, 2021

Virtually every major car manufacturer around the world is shifting its strategy and placing more emphasis on its battery-powered, hybrid, and plug-in-hybrid vehicle product lines. Consumers want their EVs to recharge more quickly, drive longer distances between charges, and last longer. But electrified vehicles and their systems, including high-powered charging (among others), are extremely sophisticated.

By Stephanie Spera , University of Richmond. This week, hundreds of scientists from around the world are finalizing a report that assesses the state of the global climate. It’s a big deal. The report is used by governments and industries everywhere to understand the threats ahead. So who are these scientists, and what goes into this important assessment?

Tesla’s planned “dealership” in Louisville, Kentucky, may be complicated by the state law, WDRB reports. The article noted that the plans called for both an indoor and outdoor sales area, service bays, and will have more than 200 parking spaces. It will be using an existing building on Gateworth Way in Middletown. I can see […].

Originally published by UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy To meet the development needs of a growing population, Africa’s electricity sector requires a major transformation. Despite important changes over the past decade, efforts to expand and modernize the sector need to be redoubled. Indeed, current electrification rates, generation-capacity levels, and security-of-supply indicators underscore that […].

What creates the “S” curve of technology adoption? It is a virtuous cycle. Positive change creates more change. The opposite is also true — a vicious cycle speeds the rapid decline of outdated technology. In a new report, Carbon Tracker identifies 7 of these paired cycles which are creating “S” curves and speeding us toward […].

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
