Renewed Energy Frontier Research Center to continue providing pivotal discoveries related to advanced materials underpinning future solutions to water crises. The sun continuously transmits trillions of watts of energy to the Earth. It will be doing so for billions more years. Yet, we have only just begun tapping into that abundant, renewable source of energy […]

I recently wrote about Tesla’s rather enormous order backlog — estimated to be ~457,000 vehicles. Since then, I’ve seen coverage of BYD’s estimated order backlog, and it’s even bigger. According to CnEVPost, BYD’s order backlog has reached around 700,000 vehicles. BYD CEO Wang Chuanfu reportedly informed local reporters of the figure. Note that this is on […]

And 17% of people in another survey don’t know Tesla builds an EV!

The newest Chevy EV has a price tag to compete in class with the Tesla Model Y. But will it?

I recently wrote an article titled “Inflation Reduction Act To Give U.S. Solar Energy Industry A Much Needed Boost.” A few days later, the U.S. Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) published a press release that said pretty much the same thing. The title: “U.S. Solar Market Ready for Rebound After Tumultuous First Half of 2022.” […]

Boundary-free structure for electrode particles eliminates reactions that diminish battery life. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have a long history of breakthrough discoveries with lithium-ion batteries. Many of these discoveries have focused on a battery cathode known as NMC, a nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide. Batteries with this cathode now power the Chevy Bolt. Argonne researchers […]

California has approved four new Tesla Supercharger locations in rural areas, each of which will charge Teslas and other EVs.

G-7 countries have still not decided the price they want to set for a cap on Russian oil, officials said.

It seems that the components needed to produce Tesla Megapacks have been working through their supply chain struggles, as Tesla has been ramping up to produce a lot more of the energy storage behemoths. Well, we don’t have precise confirmation of that, but the company’s California Megapack factory has been on a hiring spree. Why […]

Bboxx, a super platform on a mission of transforming lives across Africa and unlocking potential through providing access to essential products, has just acquired PEG Africa. PEG Africa is a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) financing company in West Africa, operating in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Mali. PEG has provided credit for useful and productive assets to […]

Anytime anyone uses the term ‘energy independence’, correct them to ‘strategic energy interdependence’.

Tesla is adding Superchargers week after week across the world, but where should its next Superchargers go? Always a fan of crowdsourcing, Tesla is asking customers — well, customers on Twitter — for suggestions on future Supercharger locations. With those suggestions, Tesla will create a poll and have people vote on the final options. Supercharger […]
