E-Mobile will park independently in the future and will also be able to find the next charging station without a driver. Researchers are working on electric cars that can travel short distan... Read more
A car powered by its own body panels could soon be driving on our roads after a breakthrough in nanotechnology research by a QUT team. Researchers have developed lightweight “supercapa... Read more
“If the scheme is applied into practice, we believe it would enable a tremendous extension of the EV cruising range,” says Ohira. Electric vehicles (EV) have ten times higher energy performa... Read more
We already charge our toothbrushes and cellphones using contactless technology. Researchers have developed a particularly efficient and cost-effective method that means electric cars could s... Read more
Innovative nano-material based supercapacitors are set to bring electric vehicle mass market appeal a good step closer to the lukewarm public interest in Germany. This movement is currently... Read more
Battery weight has long vexed engineers designing electric cars for the mass market. Bigger batteries are needed to power a car for longer distances, but their weight in turn requires the ca... Read more
Electric school buses that feed the power grid could save school districts millions of dollars — and reduce children’s exposure to diesel fumes — based on recent research by the University o... Read more
Based on a fundamental chemical discovery by scientists at Oregon State University, it appears that trees may soon play a major role in making high-tech energy storage devices. OSU chemists... Read more
Graphene for energy use is emerging as an exciting topic of research, with breakthrough discoveries hitting the headlines every week. Supercapacitors, the new paradigm for portable energy, a... Read more
Researchers at NJIT have developed a flexible battery made with carbon nanotubes that could potentially power electronic devices with flexible displays. Electronic manufacturers are now maki... Read more
The cost of adding this type of wiring to a house being built is only about $200 Electric cars continue to gain ground on those powered by petrol, but a lack of publicly available charging s... Read more
Researchers are aiming to remove the electric car market’s biggest problem – the fear of not reaching the next charging station. Both in Norway and in Europe there is considerable interest i... Read more
The small and light electric car completely folds in half when parking, making it a perfect fit for public or private transportation in an urban environment. Looking for a parking space for... Read more
Across the European Union transport accounts for more than 70 % of total oil consumption Electric vehicles (e-vehicles, or EVs) are set to play a key role in the future of urban mobil... Read more
In the future, electric cars and plug-in hybrids may be able to carry their own solar charging station with them, folded up and ready to deploy, right from the car’s trunk. The first o... Read more
