Electric vehicles save you money – View average savings in your City in California

Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than their gasoline-powered equivalents nationwide, regardless of where you plug them in. In the 50 largest US cities, every power supplier offers a pricing plan that makes using electricity less expensive than using gasoline, resulting in a median annual savings of almost $770. You may save money on maintenance by driving an electric car. Battery electric vehicles (battery EVs) do not have gasoline engines, require no normal maintenance, and do not require replacement of timing belts, spark plugs, or oil. When compared to a gasoline-powered equivalent of their vehicle, these lower maintenance costs can save an EV owner over $1,500 over the course of the vehicle’s lifetime. Below is specific information about average savings in some major cities in California. Findings Depending on the electricity provider, the electricity rate plan selected, and the local gas prices, the annual savings can range from $440 to over $1,070. Many electricity providers provide cost-effective off-peak, time-of-use options for EV users. Most EV owners charge their cars overnight while they are parked at home, which frequently coincides with periods of decreased total electricity demand. During these periods, several utilities provide discounted rates. Off-peak, time-of-use rates range from…

EVs Have More Room, Here’s Why

In comparison to larger gas-powered vehicles, electric vehicles may appear to be small toys from the outside. Don’t be fooled by someone’s size, even if they appear small on the exterior and fit better in smaller parking spaces: In reality, electric vehicles (EVs) cram a maximum amount of space into a minimal amount of space. Because EVs have fewer moving parts than their gas-powered equivalents, they have more room than their gas-powered competitors. Additionally, many vehicle components are now smaller as a result of design and technological advancements, giving EVs greater space for both passengers and freight. It’s not just the ICE engine itself is taking more space, but the whole Automotive Drivetrain No engine equals more room Engines, gas tanks, multi-speed gearboxes, exhaust systems, catalytic converters, and other substantial components have long been a feature of gas-powered vehicles. However, EVs just don’t require all those big parts. They don’t need a catalytic converter or an exhaust system because they don’t burn fuel. An EV does not require a grille because it does not have a radiator. Additionally, the motors in electric vehicles only have one speed, which negates the need for a transmission or gearbox. Smaller components including spark plugs,…

The Skateboard Effect’s Effect on EV Space: A Full-size Interior with a Mid-Size Body

EVs are roomier than gas cars for another reason, smart design. The skateboard system is a design used by VW, Ford, and other EV automakers. Due to where an EV’s wheels are mounted, this method gives EVs a space advantage. Imagine a gasoline vehicle as a set of skates, and an electric vehicle as a skateboard. The wheels in a pair of skates are positioned rather closely together beneath the skate body. Everything is jammed in between the front and rear wheels; there isn’t much space between them. Conversely, the wheels of a skateboard are spaced much farther apart under the skateboard platform. EVs still place everything between the wheels, just like a gas automobile, but because of the different wheel spacing design, there is a lot more interior space. Batteries, brakes, motors, and other essential components are dispersed along the’skateboard’ platform, usually inside the platform to leave a level basis for the EV’s outside framework and interior design. In addition to providing EVs with more internal room than gas vehicles, the skateboard design also lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, improving handling. You can quickly see how interior space expands when you consider that EVs require considerably…

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…

The battle between the auto industry and the tech giants

To build connection systems for cars, manufacturers have tested and spent a lot of money on research and technology development, but they have faced too strong competition from the “big guys” ( Big Tech) technology. By “dominating” the field of car technology, Apple, Google or Amazon all intend to develop their own “empire” on existing platforms. Customers spend less time in their cars than they do on their mobile phones in some regions, especially North America. “Big Tech” is gradually taking control of the digital future of the auto sector thanks to their unique tactics. A partnership between a car manufacturer and a technology giant As car infotainment displays become more and more smartphone-like, a mutually beneficial partnership between automakers and tech companies is beginning. This is beneficial because it contributes to improving the user experience and helps give birth to Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Baidu CarLife (in the Chinese market).

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…
