The [Totem] GT Electric is an Italian design model inspired by the lines of the 1960s and 1970s. It has a power output of 590 PS, 900 Nm and a range of 311 miles on a single charge. It sprints from a standstill to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph."I am aware that the electric car will never be able to return the emotions and driving sensations that only a combustion engine - ideally an Italian one - is able to give back."

"Despite its small size...It's targeting a healthy 220-mile WLTP range...which should be plenty for city trips and some beyond."Pricing is yet to be announced, though early speculation has it landing around the €20,000-mark ($21,500 USD) in Europe. That would put it right in the mix with EVs like the Fiat 500e and similar product from Chinese automakers...If this thing lands with good range and the right price tag, it could be a banger."

"The battery uses lithium metal rather than lithium ion...24M designed a unique separator that helps prevent the formation of dendrites—needle-like bits of metal that can build up on the surface of lithium and cause shorts and fires...The design is simpler to manufacture than lithium-ion batteries, with fewer steps...because 24M’s system avoids the binder, it’s possible to skip the complicated recycling process..."07 Jun 2024 | Synopsis
"We settled on a Chevy Bolt EUV (electric utility vehicle) in part because Bolts are the least expensive electric cars available, with some models starting at less than $24,000 new."...charging at home in Montana costs an average of about 3 cents per mile...
"...there are almost 5,000 EVs registered in Montana, and the number is growing because they are a viable choice even in our big spaces and colder climate."

"...Colorado has some of the most generous EV incentives in the country. Her research revealed she qualified for a state program for lower-income drivers who agreed to scrap an older or high-emissions car, and her power utility offered another rebate. Those discounts combined to $7,000."It's only good for about 80 miles of range, but Torres says that's all she needs for errands and trips to nearby trailheads."

"Regarded by conservative politicians and other critics as playthings of the liberal elite, EVs are fast becoming more accessible. Prices are falling because of increased competition, lower raw-material costs and more efficient manufacturing..."Even if Republicans gain control of the White House and Congress and follow through on promises to dismantle EV subsidies, they may not be able to undo the market forces pushing down prices."

"According to the IEA's new study, 'Investment in clean energy this year is set to be twice the amount going to fossil fuels...Clean energy technologies and infrastructure should reach $2 trillion this year. The total investment in energy will be $3 trillion, so investment in fossil fuels will be modest. China will be the growth engine, with investments totaling $675 million."Much of the Chinese investment is due to government financial support."

Electric cars are key to the world reducing emissions, with transport accounting for almost 20 per cent and rising...Some examples of a medium SUV are the electric Tesla Model Y, Toyota's RAV4 and the Mazda CX-5 on the petrol side..the average Australian car drives about 12,600 kilometres a year, or 189,000 over its lifetime...petrol SUV produces almost 46 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime on the road."05 Jun 2024 | Synopsis
"The 2024 national elections will pit fossil-fueled interests against the clean energy economy...Undoubtedly, voters will be hit with misinformation. EVs have many selling points, but one of the most critical is that they are cleaner than traditional cars."the lifecycle CO2 emissions of a medium-sized battery-electric vehicle manufactured today and driven 155,000 miles would be 27%- 71% less than those of an equivalent car with an internal combustion engine. Drivers in the United States hit the ''breakeven point'' at 25,500 miles.
