General Motors, America’s largest carmaker, has been slow on the uptake when it comes to the most significant trend in mobility: using more electricity ...
Ian Wright is using turbine engines to keep electric garbage trucks on the road.
A rapidly declining carbon economy will upturn the global order.
As part of its push toward an electric future, GM released a new logo. We're not quite sure about it, though. How about you?
I had an interesting conversation with my parents last night in which they protested the design of the Apple car, decrying the garish orange paint and a design that made it look "like a Russian car...
Most of you reading this are already inclined toward green-type technology, whether that’s clean power generation, electric transportation, or more efficient ways to do things. Today, I’m going to give you one more reason to stop supporting – or at least vocally dislike – big gas and big oil
It’s the first rock lobbed at electric cars, so let’s deal with it first. Electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, so how can you ignore that CO2? Well, we’re not ignoring it, we’re factoring it in. Power stations are more efficient than car engines, so if you transmit that electricity over the grid, put it into an EV (and they are very efficient, actually), then your EV is responsible for half the CO2 per mile than even an economical petrol or diesel car.
Experts argue whether electric cars are worse for the environment than gas guzzlers once the manufacturing process and batteries are taken into account
Call it enlightened self-interest, but it's a potential win-win for both worlds.
EVs are the quickest cars on the road, and it’s not just in drag races. They’re especially fast in the real world, and it’s because of how they respond. It’s not actually the instant torque of the motors that provides the advantage, it’s the lack of multiple gears in their transmissions and the shape of […]
Your battery-powered vehicle is only as green as your electricity supplier.
Some say they’re coming, in a big way. Others aren’t so sure.
Now everyone wants to build EVs. Not everyone wants to buy them.
We were promised a new electric model from GM by this time. Where is it?
GM isn't about to reintroduce the extended cab on its full-size light-duty trucks. But should they reconsider?
Designers of the all-electric off-roader reveal how they approached the project and the attention to detail involved.
The loss of electricity in transmission and distribution is only 6%, so why is it that electric heating is so inefficient?<br>I would imagine that the generators at power plants are far more efficien...
Looking for pocket-friendly ways of toning down on your electric bills? Why not give this guide a try? It’s sure to do more than just cater to all your power saving needs.
This is part 5 of a series looking at the economic trends of new energy technologies. Part 1 looked at how cheap solar can get (very cheap indeed). Part 2 looked at the declining cost and rising re…
