Lotus' first electric hyper-GT, the Emeya is one of the fastest charging cars in the world."The British company owned by the Chinese Geely group says it is a result achieved thanks both to the use of a 400 kW power pack, absorbed by the hyper-GT at an average of 331 kW, and to the cell-to-pack structure of the batteries, which "allows 20% more cells in the same space compared to a standard modular design..."

"The Inflation Reduction Act created a mechanism whereby tax credits for buyers of new and used EVs - worth up to $7,500 and $4,000, respectively - could be delivered by car dealers at the point of sale."Since the start of the year, about 125,000 consumers have opted to get their 'new clean vehicle' tax credit as an upfront payment...25,000 buyers have opted for upfront payment for the 'previously owned clean vehicle' credit..."

"...the idea of an EV might sound great, but it's a lifestyle change that may require some added work outside of the vehicle purchase itself.. the sweet spot for wall-mounted, plug-in home chargers is in the $500 to $700 range...The lesson here is that it’s worth taking the time to match your needs and circumstances to the right setup...the dedicated outlet in the garage adds about $600-$1,000 to our home’s value..."13 Jun 2024 | Synopsis
"Nitrogen fertilizer, along with animal manure, directly produce nearly three-quarters of our N2O emissions. Once in the atmosphere, it's 300 times more powerful in warming the planet than carbon dioxide, and will trap heat as it lingers in the atmosphere for more than a century. N2O also eats away at the ozone layer..."The top five country emitters by volume of anthropogenic N₂O emissions in 2020 were China (16.7%), India (10.9%), USA (5.7%), Brazil (5.3%), and Russia (4.6%)..."

"[A]ccording to the International Energy Agency...Total investment in renewables and nuclear power for electricity generation has reached 10 times the amount directed at fossil fuel-fired generation...China will account for the largest share of clean energy investment, with around $675 billion this year, as a result of strong domestic demand for solar power, lithium batteries and electric vehicles..."Nonetheless, the expansion of fossil fuel demand continues at a pace that leaves the world on track for potentially catastrophic climate change."

"'Darwinian' competition and a slew of new models helped electric cars with at least 300 miles of range reach another milestone in price parity."At least three manufacturers — Tesla, Hyundai-Kia and General Motors - now offer EVs with more than 300 miles (480 kilometers) of range for less than the cost of the average new vehicle sold in the US...competition between US auto brands has taken on a Squid Game vibe, as pressure rises to make EVs affordable and attract a new wave of buyers."

The German manufacturer has announced that the €25,000 (approx. £22,000) electric has finished development and will be shown in its final form by the end of the year."It will be built on the modified MEB platform and will have the same basis as equivalent economy models marketed under other brands such as Cupra and Seat...But Volkswagen is also working on an even less expensive electric car..."

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..."
