The fire rate of electric vehicles is 61 times lower than that of gasoline vehicles

Only 25 out of 100,000 all-electric vehicles are likely to catch fire, compared to more than 1,500 gasoline vehicles and nearly 3,500 hybrid vehicles, according to research from National Transportation Safety Board data. American National Institute (NTSB). The rate of electric vehicles burning is extremely low The recent study was conducted by AutoInsuranceEZ, an American insurance company, based on data from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and recall data. According to the US Government, vehicles with internal combustion engines have a significantly higher number of fires than fully electric vehicles. Accordingly, battery electric vehicles have only a 0.025% chance of catching fire, compared to 1.5% for internal combustion engine vehicles and 3.4% for hybrid vehicles. The study revealed that petrol and diesel vehicles experienced 1,530 fires per 100,000 vehicles, while only 25 out of 100,000 all-electric vehicles caught fire. This means that the fire rate of electric vehicles is only 1/61 compared to cars using gasoline and oil.

Electric-vehicle buyers demand new experiences – Opportunity for EV brands as VinFast to develop

Source: Mckinsey Research – Electric-vehicle buyers demand new experiences Consumer attitudes toward electric vehicles are changing fast—and so are expectations of the car-purchasing experience. When buying an electric vehicle, consumers want an experience that matches their expectations of the car itself. That is, something exciting and innovative but also reliable and predictable. They expect to both transact online and negotiate with a real person, and they still need to take a test drive. However, the overall experience needs to be more seamless, more personalized, and more flexible than it was in the days of forecourt walkarounds. These are some of the findings of McKinsey’s latest Future of Auto Retail consumer survey, which polled more than 4,000 respondents globally, focusing on consumer sentiment around electrification, the car-purchasing experience, and innovations in automotive retail. The findings show that consumers expect an excellent experience but are not always sure that the industry is ready to meet their needs.

Biden Administration Proposes $15 Billion Investment in EV Charging Infrastructure

In the second quarter of 2023, The Biden administration has made it a priority to address the lack of charging infrastructure. In his infrastructure plan, President Biden has proposed investing $15 billion in EV charging infrastructure. This investment would help to accelerate the installation of chargers across the country, making it easier for people to switch to EVs. America is facing a major challenge in its transition to electric vehicles (EVs): the lack of charging infrastructure. While the number of EVs on the road is growing rapidly, the number of public charging stations is not keeping pace. This is a major barrier to EV adoption, as many potential EV buyers are concerned about being able to find a place to charge their cars. There are a number of reasons for the lack of charging infrastructure in America. One reason is that the cost of installing charging stations is high. Another reason is that there is no single standard for EV charging connectors, which makes it difficult for businesses and governments to install chargers. Finally, there is a lack of federal funding for EV charging infrastructure. With the above decision, a number of electric vehicle infrastructure issues will be resolved. In…

NASA technology helps fully charge electric vehicles in 5 minutes

Experimental technology NASA uses to cool equipment in space could cut electric vehicle (EV) charging times to less than five minutes. This news comes in the context that electric vehicle sales are on the rise and have reached their highest level ever. The experimental technology was initially developed by scientists to support “nuclear fission power systems for missions to the Moon, Mars, and other more distant planets.” Specifically, this technology provides fuel for “vapor compression heat pumps to operate. From there, EV engines help maintain habitats on the Moon and Mars, while controlling heat and supporting life inside spacecraft.” Thanks to the “subcooled flow boiling” technique, NASA technology can increase the current through improved heat transfer through the charging cable. This will significantly reduce the time needed to fully charge a vehicle. NASA explains that an electric current with a minimum strength of 1,400 amps can fully charge an electric car within 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the fastest chargers used in science and industry today only produce a maximum of 520 amps, and most chargers on the market only support less than 150 amps. A research team from Purdue University, led by mechanical engineering professor Issam Mudawar, said their experiment successfully…

Increasing Access to Zero-Emission Vehicles for all Californians

As the leading state in eliminating fossil fuels in the US, the California state government has announced a plan to reduce carbon emissions that cause environmental pollution, with the goal that by 2035 all new cars sold will be emission-free. This goal was set by state governor Gavin Newsom in his roadmap to gradually reduce the number of new vehicles sold without emissions. If approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), this will become a “guideline” for all states’ efforts to reduce emissions, because California is currently the largest car consumption market in the United States with more than 40 million consumers. The specific roadmap is that the state of California will increase the number of new cars sold without emissions by 1/3 by 2026 and by 2/3 by 2030. Governor Newsom proposed, and the Legislature has approved, $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2022-23, and $3.9 billion over three years, for investment in ZEV adoption, as well as clean mobility options for California’s most environmentally and economically burdened communities. These programs support the new regulation by increasing access to ZEVs for all Californians, including moderate- and low-income consumers. They include: Clean Cars 4 All provides up to $9,500 to…
