As part of a project to promote electromobility, the Berlin district of Spandau soon wants to make it possible to charge e-cars at street lamps. This should increase the charging possibilities for e-car drivers without overloading the power grid too much.
By 2030, the two ride providers must switch to electric cars and thus offer more climate-friendly rides to customers in New York City (USA). However, Uber and Lyft show they are ready for the challenge - because they have been planning to move into electric mobility for years.
Electric vehicles depend heavily on the power grid and consequently suffer from the effects of the energy crisis. But what if the e-car of the future could contribute to the power supply itself? A study shows how car batteries can become electricity storage units.
To save the climate, it is undoubtedly first and foremost important to reduce the stock of pollutants and carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Researchers are now developing a CO2-negative battery that will enable electric cars to clean the air.
Electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell cars are not safe enough to be carried, they say. The Norwegian shipping company now wants to ban them from its ferries.
Instead of supporting transport electrification, the US state wants to ban electric cars. Once again, the future of the country is to depend on conventional internal combustion engines - to go along with the economic policy plans of the Republicans.
From 2025, the new EU Euro7 emissions standard is to come into force and put vehicle emissions of all kinds under greater control - including those from hybrid cars. In this context, location monitoring technology, or geofencing, is to automatically switch off the combustion engine in zero-emission zones and switch to purely electric.
Green technologies could lead to power outages because of their energy requirements. To avoid such a risk, the grid agency is now considering restricting e-car charging - with the ultimate goal of expanding the country's electrical infrastructure.
Bio-fuels, e-fuels, electric - With so many petrol and diesel vehicles on the road for years after the end of combustion, the possibility of converting away from fossil fuels is essential. But there is no single clear path to do so.
Electric Corsas have to go back to the workshop because they do not comply with the exhaust emission regulations. A mere formality in connection with the statutory exhaust emission measurement, which could nevertheless be inconvenient for many motorists.
