My friend and I talked a lot about VinFast from what we learned on the news. My neighbor was one of the first ones to own the VF 8. After visiting my neighbor and…

Smart headlight projection angle in VF8 – Safety for the opposite vehicle to protect yourself

When using the headlight system on VF 8, the car owner can activate automatic mode (AHB) or perform manual operations depending on the actual situation. In particular, AHB’s automatic feature will activate the headlights based on information collected from the sensor to help the driver focus more when driving. What is the headlight system on VF 8? What are headlights? Car headlights, also known as high beam lights, have the effect of projecting light at a higher, farther and wider range than conventional lighting systems. From there, headlights provide drivers with greater visibility or a clear view of traffic signs, especially when traveling on the highway at night. Currently, both Eco and Plus versions of the VinFast VF 8 model are equipped with modern, advanced LED headlight systems. LED is the abbreviation of the word “Light-Emitting Diode” which means “diodes that radiate light”. Accordingly, LED headlight bulbs will be made from semiconductor chips with a size of only a few millimeters but contain long-range directional light. With a color temperature of 5000 – 6000 K, a brightness of nearly 1000 Lumen and a lifespan of up to 15,000 hours, LED headlights possess the ability to illuminate quickly while still optimizing…

Why effective battery recycling will soon be required, and why future-proof battery designs should be the main priority

Not only is the battery market one of the biggest in the world, but it is also the one with the biggest growth potential. In 2020, there were 185GWh of batteries available globally. Many reliable sources predict that the market would grow tenfold in less than a decade. A CAGR of almost 27% is projected for the years 2020 to 2030, resulting in a market volume of 2035 GWh for batteries by that time. However, the recently disclosed data by SNE Research, which rated the overall market volume to 296,62GWh in 2021, which is almost 6% above the predicted demand in 2021, tends to make these numbers look too conversational. The primary engine for the anticipated expansion is the transportation sector, which also includes the vital EV passenger car market. When commercial EVs are included, the demand for batteries is projected to increase from 100GWh in 2020 to over 1700GWh in 2030. The large growth in demand puts a lot of strain on battery suppliers, who must quickly expand their capacity to produce affordable traction batteries, particularly in Europe. Since EVs require charging, the overall energy demand will rise sharply as the number of EVs increases. Peak shaving or buffer…

This US city has banned the construction of new gas stations due to the increase in electric vehicles

At least two electric vehicle chargers must be installed at every new gas stations that are constructed. A US city has decided to prohibit the opening of new gas stations due to politicians’ “obligation” to address climate change. There are currently five stations in Lousiville, Colorado, a town of about 21,000 inhabitants close to Denver. Although a sixth was just authorized, it might be the city’s final one. As per the latest municipal legislation, it may be inferred that prohibiting gasoline stations could potentially encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) which would lower vehicle emissions and promote the use of cleaner, low-carbon energy choices for transportation. It goes on to say that the reason a cap on gas stations rather than a complete ban is being considered is that demand will persist as more electric vehicles are gradually introduced. According to the law, all new gas stations that are given a waiver from the prohibition or those that undergo modifications must also install two electric vehicle chargers. Additionally, they must be separated from current ones by at least 1000 feet, or little over 300 meters. The building of new gas stations was prohibited until September 2023 by an emergency…

California’s investments in the climate

In addressing the climate catastrophe, California has taken the lead under Governor Gavin Newsom. The state of California is most affected by climate change. California has had catastrophic wildfires, heat waves that broke records, and severe droughts. The costs of inaction on climate change are too high. The cost of extreme weather events to US taxpayers in 2022 alone was $165 billion. California is eschewing fossil fuels in a big way. By 2035, we will have reduced our reliance on oil by ceasing to sell new gas-powered vehicles. A measure to gradually stop the manufacturing of hazardous oil in our communities was signed by Governor Newsom. The extraordinary, multibillion-dollar climate budget that Governor Newsom proposed includes: Addresses the problems of wildfires and drought Aids in communities’ weather adaptation Supports the state’s objectives for zero-emission vehicles Provides energy that is inexpensive, dependable, and clean. Saves money for Californians and builds thriving communities These innovative global climate policies are having an impact. The majority of clean energy jobs in the US are located in California. The clean car and renewable energy sectors are driving the country’s growth. California surpassed its 2020 climate target six years early. California produced six times as many…
