Will people embrace the futuristic design enough to make the startup a success? The Lit C-1 doesn’t look like any car you’ve ever seen, but it still can go 120 miles per hour and gets [...]

UBC researchers came up with so-called “remote magnetic gears,” Researchers at the University of British Columbia say they’ve found a way around the nuisance and potential danger of repeatedly having to plug in an electric [...]

What sets the bike apart from others is that pedal input is transformed directly into electricity A bicycle born out of auto industry technology, the Mando Footloose makes claim of using the world’s first chainless [...]

In one instance, electric batteries could be charged in just 15 minutes. Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed sophisticated estimation algorithms that allow lithium-ion batteries to run more efficiently, potentially reducing [...]

Until there’s some huge revolution in battery technology, electric vehicles are destined to remain as urban runabouts, never going out on long highway trips … right? Well, not if Germany’s ebuggy project has anything to [...]

Electric assist range is estimated at 40 km (25 miles) with two kids and groceries Bakfiets, the distinctive Dutch cargo bikes with the cargo bed located in front of the rider, are becoming increasingly popular [...]

“I think we’ve got better than a 50-50 chance,” Akerson said, “to develop a car that will go to 200 miles on a charge” A small battery company backed by General Motors is working on [...]

Its makers claim it is the first drive-from-wheelchair electric car. Though its undoubtedly true to say that mobility vehicles designed for wheelchair access exist, like AM General’s MV-1 these generally relegate the wheelchair user to [...]

Existing fuel distribution infrastructure could be used A collaborative project involving ECOmove, Insero E-Mobility and Serenergy is aiming to produce a fuel cell range extender for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that should boost the distance [...]

Air-breathing lithium batteries that go far beyond the capacity of current power packs may be in the offing A rechargeable, air-breathing battery that can store up to 10 times the energy of today’s conventional lithium [...]

Heat can damage the batteries of electric vehicles – even just driving fast on the freeway in summer temperatures can overheat the battery. An innovative new coolant conducts heat away from the battery three times [...]

Stanford University scientists have breathed new life into the nickel-iron battery, a rechargeable technology developed by Thomas Edison more than a century ago. Designed in the early 1900s to power electric vehicles, the Edison battery [...]
