Can EVs and solar save the world? The IEA thinks so

The International Energy Agency (IEA) believes that electric vehicles (EVs) and solar power have the potential to contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change. Here are some key points regarding their view in 2023 Net Zero Roadmap: Electric Vehicles (EVs): EVs offer a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions. By replacing conventional vehicles with EVs, we can reduce air pollution and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Climate Change Mitigation: The transportation sector is a significant contributor to global carbon dioxide emissions. Switching to EVs powered by renewable energy sources could help decarbonize this sector and reduce its impact on climate change. Renewable Energy Transition: Solar power is one of the most abundant renewable energy sources available. By adopting solar technology for electricity generation, we can reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based power plants, which currently contribute to a substantial portion of global CO2 emissions. Synergistic Effects: Combining EVs with solar power creates synergistic effects. EV owners can charge their vehicles using solar panels at home or at public charging stations powered by solar energy. This integration helps reduce overall carbon emissions from both the transportation and electricity sectors. Energy Storage…

US Added Over 188K EV-Related Jobs In Recent Years, Include Vingroup (Parent company of VinFast)

In the last few years, automakers have embarked on a factory-building boom in the US thanks to friendly EV policies and generous federal and state subsidies. A new interactive map points to where EV investments are exactly concentrated while also highlighting the subsequent number of jobs created. In recent years, $154 billion worth of EV investments have generated 188,000 jobs, according to Blue Green Alliance Foundation and Atlas Public Policy’s data. The majority of the jobs and investments appear to be concentrated in the mid-west and the south, with EV-related economic activity also spreading to the east and west coasts. From a total of 319 facilities, 32 percent are located among disadvantaged communities, potentially boosting local economies, and opening up rural employment opportunities. Moreover, 25 percent of the facilities are unionized, more than double the US average of 10 percent, as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data also showcases the rise of EV-related jobs over the years. In 2010, just three facilities accounted for 2,700 jobs. Since then, the figure has soared to nearly 80,000 jobs added in 2022 alone from 101 facilities. Vingroup (VinFast’s parent company) ranked 8th with 7.5k new EV jobs. The states with leading…

California Tops US EV Adoption: 25% EV Share Of Total Sales In 2023

It’s no secret that the pace of electric vehicle adoption varies greatly from state to state, with California being the undisputed leader in this respect, as opposed to some midwestern and southern states where EV sales are among the lowest in the nation. While EV adoption is on the rise nationwide, electric vehicle market share is far from being homogenous, as pointed out by BloombergNEF’s latest research that takes a detailed look at the speed of adoption across all US states. A total of 972,000 EVs were sold in the US last year, up from 652,000 the year before. Things are looking even better in the first half of 2023 as the EV share of car sales rose to 9 percent stimulated partially by the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act that introduced new subsidies for consumers, carmakers, and battery producers. If the trend continues, BloombergNEF forecasts EV sales to make up 23 percent of total US passenger car sales in 2025 and 51 percent by 2030. Until that happens, current EV share of passenger vehicle sales data at state level for the first half of 2023 highlights some stark differences between states. Unsurprisingly, California recorded the highest EV share…

38% Of American Cars Were Electric In 1900 – What about in the future?

In our modern era, we may assume that electric cars are new technology. But there was a period in America a long time ago when about 30% of all cars were electric. Starting point of Electric Vehicle history In 1898, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, when 23 years old, built his first car, and it was the Lohner Electric Chaise. Also in 1898, Count Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat of Paris set a world speed record in a car, which happened to be in his electric Jeantaud. The speed record was 39.245 mph (62.8 km/h), but that was crushed a few days later by another electric car that went 65.79 mph (105.88 km/h). First electric cars (1830-1880) By 1900, in the United States, 38% of US automobiles, 33,842 cars, were powered by electricity (40% were powered by steam, and 22% by gasoline). This information might sound like some crackpot Internet hoax, but if you look at the sources, you can easily see they are credible. The US Dept. of Energy’s page on the history of the electric car states, “By 1900, electric cars were at their heyday, accounting for around a third of all vehicles on the road. During the next 10 years, they…
