Battery electric vehicles had their strongest August on record, with cars taking 30 percent of new registrations and vans reaching 17 percent, as sales continued to outpace the UK's zero-emission vehicle targets for a third straight month.
Market research firm IDTechEx forecasts Li-ion demand for electric vehicles reaching 4,500 GWh by 2036, as advances in battery management software and hardware help push battery fire rates down even as pack capacity grows.
Rising costs and slowing installation growth are reshaping the UK's charging industry, with InstaVolt's acquisition of the smaller GeniePoint network pointing to a wave of consolidation among operators.
The HV-MELA-BAT programme pairs modular DC/DC converters with second-life battery storage, enabling charging above 1 MW from a 500 kW connection.
An eight-point, 400 kW charging installation at Astwick becomes both a UK-first for Kempower and a first for its 2024 partnership with financing provider DLL.
The sale follows a £250 million debt refinancing and £40 million equity raise, and is part of InstaVolt‘s strategy shift toward the UK and Ireland since the business entered Iberia in 2023.
New Automotive and E-Mobility Europe map close to €200bn in committed capital across vehicles, batteries and charging, with 150,000 jobs already tied to projects now under political pressure.
A new study by Eurelectric and EY estimates that fleet electrification could unlock cumulative operating cost savings of up to €246 billion by 2030.
Svenska Bostäder has awarded a multi-year framework agreement covering 166 properties to Soltech's Takorama Elteknik, as the housing company works towards full charging coverage by 2030.
More than 83,000 battery electric vehicles were delivered in a single month, with overall car market growth of 4.9 percent driven by electrification and fuel price volatility.
Regulatory hurdles around home charging are emerging as a key barrier to EV uptake among households without driveways. New survey data highlights the scale of the issue and growing pressure for reform.
Electric vehicle adoption in England is spreading beyond wealthy early adopters. New data suggests uptake is broadening across most socio-economic groups, raising fresh questions about charging infrastructure and electricity demand.
Filling stations, parking garages and parking lots present significant opportunities for supplying EVs with solar power. Find out more in our weekly topic, 27-30 October.
Many clean energy technologies on the market are growing very quickly – but none faster than batteries, which are set to play an increasingly important role alongside renewables and electrification in the global transition away from fossil fuels, according to a new special report of the International Energy Agency (IEA).
With the Vision EQXX, Mercedes-Benz has presented a new electric vehicles concept. According to internal simulations, the EV should be able to go for around 1,000 kilometres on a single battery charge in real-world road traffic. Some of the electricity comes from the car's own roof.
Electromobility is directly linked to the operation of private charging stations, as a recent study by EuPD Research shows. With solar power from the roof of one's own house, the additional demand is covered cost-effectively.
Mobility pioneer Sono Motors has decided to install a more powerful 54-kilowatt-hour battery in the Sion electric solar car after consulting its community. The new battery increases the Sion's current range to up to 305 kilometres.
The Belgian clean-tech company Smappee recently launched its EV Line in Ireland. EV Line is a series of smart and future-proof charging stations. A key feature is their integrated energy management technology.
