Lothian, a public transit provider in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the Lothians, has ordered 50 new electric Volvo BZL buses for its fleet. The double-deck buses will begin operating in 2024. They cost over £24 million and have zero direct emissions, so using them will help improve air quality. Each bus can transport over 70 passengers

Advocates fought for funding to preserve transit service in California, winning a partial victory—and secured new guidance that could unlock billions more

When it comes to cleaning up transportation emissions, micromobility is often the neglected red-headed stepchild. Electric cars get a lot of attention because most people are used to owning and driving a car, and the infrastructure in their area is mostly geared around that. Transit also gets a lot of attention, because it’s another thing

When automakers design and build cars, the cars have to survive anything drivers might throw at it (other than wrecks). Nissan found out the hard way that selling vehicles without liquid cooling systems may work in Japan and other places with a more gentle climate, but when people started driving them in hot deserts, things

Emergence Strategy in Action: Gogoro Seizes Opportunity in the Transition to Sustainable Mobility How did Gogoro go from stealth startup to being the largest worldwide provider of light EV battery swapping — all in a little over a decade? The company, which vastly simplifies the charging experience for the rapidly growing two-wheeled scooter market, now

At the beginning of the year, EVgo announced that it was going to step up on charging reliability. As most EV drivers know, non-Tesla charging can be pretty hit and miss right now. The chances of actually getting stranded are still very low, but things like low speeds, having to switch stalls, and other more

The Asian Games started earlier this week, on the 23rd of September in Hangzhou. These large events bring together thousands of people from several countries and it takes a massive logistical exercise to move people around and keep things flowing nicely. This means there will be hundreds or thousands of vehicles employed for these kinds

Yesterday, Electrify America announced the opening of a station near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Even as Fossil Energy Still Provides Most of the World’s Electricity, New Electricity Generating Capacity Is Dominated by Renewable Energy Projects

A recent article at Forbes explored the sales potential of the Tesla Cybertruck. In the EV community, it’s almost heretical to question the future success of the vehicle. Tesla fans will point to the many pre-orders the Cybertruck has, and after all, everyone they’re friends with is going to buy at least one! So, if

First of all, let’s start with 9 key points I’ll cover. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) efficiently use clean energy and emit no pollution while driving! When a BEV is more convenient. Driving your electric rocket-mobile (fun, fun, fun). Lower fuel and service costs. Driving a BEV cross country. They don’t make the model I like
