"At the same time that the energy sector has sought to influence policies on climate change, it has also worked to undermine the public’s understanding of climate science. For instance, records show ExxonMobil participated in a widespread climate-science denial campaign for years, spending more than US$30 million on lobbyists, think tanks and researchers to promote climate-science skepticism. These efforts continue today. A 2019 report found the five largest oil companies had spent over $1 billion on misleading climate-related lobbying and branding campaigns over the previous three years."28 Apr 2022 | Synopsis
"...the critically acclaimed hatch is gaining a new skill, now that Hyundai is experimenting with bidirectional charging and Vehicle-to-Grid solutions in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
"Hyundai and We Drive Solar have rolled out a fleet of 25 Ioniq 5 models with V2G tech in the Netherlands. The fleet is made up of lightly modified Ioniq 5s which will store energy from renewable sources, and feed that clean energy back to the grid during peak usage hours."

Ford says it is on track to deliver more than 2 million electric vehicles annually by 2026, equal to about one-third of the company's global volume, on the way to 50% by 2030. The automaker says the F-150 Lightning will be the only full-size electric pickup available with a starting price under $40,000. The all-electric Rivian R1T pickup starts at $67,500.
"Today we celebrate the Model T moment for the 21st Century at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "The stunning anticipation for F-150 Lightning is a credit to the work of our Ford engineers and designers, and the UAW team members who are building these trucks with pride."

"The initial 16-ton version of the Volta Zero was launched in 2020 followed by plans for three additional variations. Most recently, the commercial manufacturer received €230 million in series C funding to get the 16-ton Volta Zero Trucks into production.
"At the time, Volta said the money will fund a fleet of design verification 16-ton prototypes for engineering, development, and testing, as well as a fleet of product verification trucks that will be evaluated by customers in London and Paris in mid-2022."

"A proper testing regime means the E-Transit has been put through all the same paces as any other model in the line-up, while a 68kWh battery pack gives the Ford a 'targeted' WLTP maximum combined range of 196 miles."
"Available in 25 different versions, this will vary a bit, but that's 100 miles more than the equivalent Mercedes-Benz eSprinter (which only comes in one version in the UK).
And though the starting price of £47,700 (plus VAT) may seems astronomical for a van ? even a large highly specced large one - the competitions' five figures typically start with the number six."

"An electric vehicle can only perform safely and efficiently if the materials used in its construction have a particular set of properties, both alone and in combination. Parts of the vehicle are subject to extremely high voltages, temperatures and stresses, so some components must be completely electrically isolated, and the vehicle must also be resistant to such stresses. The battery must be protected from crash damage to prevent fires, and the whole vehicle must be made from materials that are low in density to reduce the total vehicle weight. This problem limited the take-up of the earliest models. The materials must also be as durable and inexpensive as possible."25 Apr 2022 | Synopsis

"PNNL is developing magnetic nanoparticles that are surrounded by an adsorbent shell that latches onto the lithium and other metals found in water associated with various industrial processes...
"These sources could include the water in geothermal power plants, known as geothermal brines, or water pulled from the subsurface during oil or gas production. The particles also could be used in effluents from desalination plants, or even directly from seawater."

"Fresh data shows the public is becoming increasingly frustrated with airlines, SUVs and fossil fuel companies for doing just that...
"A study from think tank The New Weather Institute and Badvertising (an initiative to stop brands fuelling the climate emergency) has found over two thirds of people (68%) want to see more restrictions around the marketing of environmentally unfriendly products...
"Promoting fossil fuel companies, SUVs and airlines in a climate emergency is like advertising cigarettes in a hospital. Not only do nearly half want to see less advertising overall, this survey reveals that a large majority of people want to see ads for polluting products restricted or ended altogether."
