A recent report by Sierra Club has revealed a concerning shortage of electric vehicles (EVs) at car dealerships across the United States, despite soaring demand from consumers. The transportation sector, the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, is in urgent need of cleaner options. However, the report found that approximately two-thirds of dealerships do not have a single EV available for sale. Read More
The electrification of transportation is revolutionizing the global demand for oil. Electric vehicles (EVs) are replacing traditional combustion engines, resulting in significant oil savings. Read More
a recent study by IVL Sweden and T&E has shown that the production of batteries can have a wide range of carbon footprints, depending on the materials used, energy sources utilized in manufacturing, and the location of production facilities. The study found that as much as 75% of the energy consumed during battery production is used in the production of battery cells, making this process the most energy and carbon-intensive. Read More
The powertrain component market has seen several key shifts in the past three years. First, electrification has consistently accelerated faster than expected, driven by increased action on climate change, government policy, company pledges, and consumer behavior. Read More
lithium-ion battery performance and safety have advanced significantly. More energy density, longer life spans, quicker charging, enhanced safety features, and new recycling methods are some of the ways lithium-ion batteries are improving and changing. Read More
The increasing demand for battery technology has been fueled by the electrification of the automobile sector. As a result, leading manufacturers are currently focusing on creating battery cells in different configurations to meet the sector's ever-growing demands. The three primary configuration types are prismatic cells, pouch cells, and cylindrical cells. Read More
This report provides an This paper presents a summary of the development of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and charger standards. It focusses on the four major vehicle markets of China, the European Union, Japan, and the United States and identifies three strategies available to national authorities for choosing among charger standards, meaning the technical specifications that define charger use and ultimately determine which EVs can be used in a country. of the advancements made in the four major automobile markets of China, the European Union, Japan, and the United States in terms of EV chargers and standards. It lists three options for national authorities' selection criteria for charging standards. Read More
The variety of charger types available today is the result of a number of factors, including the numerous automakers that produce EVs, the demand for slower or faster power technologies (AC and DC) in various situations, the variety of EV types (two- and three-wheelers, light- and heavy-duty vehicles), various national or regional electrical infrastructures, and evolving national standards governing charger development.

The European transportation industry is undergoing a radical transformation in order to accommodate the exponentially expanding EV adoption anticipated through 2050 as well as the high environmental goals established throughout the continent. Although this shift will result in decreased carbon emissions, it is important to comprehend all of its effects to prevent unintended negative effects. In particular, there is a need to transition from unmanaged charging to smart charging, where EV owners just plug in their vehicles when charging is necessary without taking into account external circumstances (e.g., system load, rates).

Depending on the fleet size, daily mileage, and kind of operation, there are several alternatives for the wired stationary charging infrastructure to accommodate battery-electric trucks' various demands. These possibilities vary from slow alternating current (AC) charging with power under 43 kW to fast and ultra-fast direct current (DC) fast charging with power up to several MW (in development).
