India is going electric. Electric vehicles promise zero tailpipe emissions and a reduction in air pollution in cities. The Indian government has created momentum through its Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles schemes that encourage, and in some segments mandates the adoption of electric vehicles (EV), with a goal ...
According to BNEF’s data, electric vehicles in China produce 188.5 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per mile, the most of any country globally. In comparison, electric vehicles in the United Kingdom produce just over 76 grams of CO2, while in France just 2.7 grams are produced per mile. The eco benefits outweigh the energy concerns.
SUN Mobility, a tech start-up based in Bengaluru in Karnataka, India, is rolling out a swappable battery service for electric vehicles. It runs on the Microsoft Cloud and means drivers can replace depleted batteries in about the same time as traditional refuelling. Chinese automaker Nio has been rolling out battery-swapping technology since ...
India The Indian government has announced that it wants to sell only electric cars within the next 13 years. India is facing an air pollution crisis that is responsible for 1.2 million deaths per year and costing the economy an estimated 3% of GDP. It’s been calculated that the gradual switch to electric vehicles (EVs) across India would ...
Yet the growing market for electric cars may be causing harm to people in one of the world’s most vulnerable countries. A legacy of conflict and exploitation Dangerous working conditions, risks to people’s health, and child labour are a huge problem in the cobalt mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
By 2035, one in nine cars sold worldwide will be electric. China, India and European countries are all planning to phase out fossil-fueled vehicles. With new mobility models and technologies emerging, EV growth will be exponential. EVs will need electricity to recharge, and utilities will be eager to supply that power.
To reduce global transport-sector emissions, developing cities must begin to utilize more electric vehicles. Many of the prevailing arguments against EV suitability in the developing world are wrong. E-mobility in public transport is one particularly urgent focus. Electric cars are capturing headlines and wallets the world over.
The International Council on Clean Transportation is tackling this in a white paper. They show that emissions over the lifetime of a mid-sized electric passenger car are already considerably lower than those of a comparable gasoline car. Emissions savings from electric cars range from 19-34% in India to 66-69% in Europe.
1. There were 11 million registered electric vehicles on the road at the end of last year. 10 million of these were cars. The total number of electric cars, buses, vans and trucks is projected to rise to 145 million, or 7% of road transportation, by the end of the decade under governments’ existing energy and climate policies.
Globally, electric vehicle (EV) sales grew 80% in 2021 and companies like Toyota and Volkswagen announced $170 billion of investment into electrification. Besides eliminating exhaust emissions and tackling part of the 23% of global CO2 emissions contributed by the transportation sector, EVs also provide key flexibility to the grid as we ...
