Understanding how electric cars are driven in the real world has taken an important step forward with the release of data from the MINI E field trial in the UK. With 62 members of the public and 76 pool users running the battery-powered hatchbacks over two six-month periods, the Government-supported trial is the most in-depth of its kind in the UK to publish its findings.

The Technology Strategy Board alongside the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV) has today announced funding for the next stage of its Integrated Delivery Programme (IDP) Competition for Low Carbon Vehicles. A consortium of automotive partners has been awarded £9.5million to expand and enhance technology for range extended electric vehicles (REEV) in the premium sector in a research...

The 2nd generation of Yebbujana by Power Plaza, which is made of 100% carbon fiber, is the protagonist. Yebbujana 2nd and converted-electric Bongo 3 drove from headquarters (Kumchon-Gu, Gasan-Dong) to Youngdungpo, Yeouido, Kwanghwamoon, and Sinchon to change people’s general awareness about electric vehicles on December 10.

Volvo Car Corporation is participating in an inductive charging project. Together with Belgian technological and development specialists Flanders' Drive and others, Volvo Car Corporation is developing systems and methods that need neither power sockets nor charging cables. With inductive charging, energy is transferred wirelessly to the car's battery via a charging plate buried in the road surface.

Universal Display Corporation has announced record-breaking performance of the company’s white OLED lighting technology. The company has developed a warm-white, all-phosphorescent OLED lighting panel with a power efficacy of 58 lumens per Watt (lm/W) and a record-breaking 30,000 hours of operating lifetime (to 70 percent of initial luminance). Based, in part, on the company’s new light blue UniversalPHOLED materials system, this represents ...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today it has developed a prototype forced-air-cooled three-phase 400V output inverter with all-silicon carbide (SiC) power modules that has a power density of 50kVA per liter. The inverter is expected to contribute to smaller and lighter power-electronics equipment in automotive and industrial applications, among others.

Ecarconnectors announces the introduction of a range of 63 amp fast charging plugs and sockets and the latest “Type 2” connectors to suit Europe’s electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles are not green just because they use electricity rather than fuel, but their green credentials critically depend on the materials used, the driving conditions and, most importantly, the carbon intensity of their electricity sources. Indeed, in some conditions, electric vehicles (EV) emit more CO2 than an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE).
