EV Technology & Innovations

From speeches by men to mass adoption around the world, electric vehicles have come a long way and finally found themselves in the heart of a very dusty automotive industry.

5 reasons to ride electric

Pretty much everything on the market (and in our vocabulary) always seems like a hard cookie of human fear of change. Well, don't be afraid anymore.<p>Electric vehicles have been mainstream for a long time. While crowded cities and their residents are looking for more sustainable ways to get around, old and old car makers are finally responding with a much needed green movement. Whether you're looking for your first car or a replacement for your current vehicle, you need to get behind the wheel of an electric car today.</p>
<h3>Cheap.</h3>
<p>The only word your wallet loves to say. Even with falling oil prices, electric vehicles are cheaper than the corresponding gasoline engines. Electric vehicles save up to 75% of conventional fuel annually and are eligible for a wide range of municipal benefits and tax exemptions around the world. <p><b>Self-sufficient.</b><p>A property that characterizes humanity. Driving on electricity means you no longer have to depend on gas stations. Instead, by parking your car, you can enjoy the day elsewhere and recharge your electrical appliances in the comfort of your home charging station, at work or on the go. With the growing availability of solar panels in the home, you can also generate your own electricity. Therefore, charging electric vehicles will become even cheaper in the long run.<p><b>Obviously environmentally friendly.</b><p>The only thing we really need to worry about. Driving an electric car does not produce harmful exhaust gases and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Of course, there are emissions associated with the electricity used to charge electric vehicles, and these emissions are an important part of the equation when comparing total emissions. However, the UCS resolution shows that wherever electric vehicles are connected, even in areas dominated by relatively dirty energy such as carbon, the emissions produced by electric vehicles are less than those of the average conventional car. . Most importantly, as the grid gets more and more renewable energy (such as solar and wind power), the charge of electric vehicles becomes even more evident. </p>
<h3>It's simple.</h3>
<p>The key to convenience. Despite the advanced technology, electric vehicles are surprisingly easy to maintain. There is no internal combustion engine, which means fewer moving parts. This means reduced maintenance costs and no need for oil changes. Brake pads require regular maintenance, but not as often as in conventional cars because electric vehicles use fewer brakes thanks to regenerative braking. Overall, straight torque, improved range (and even better) and quiet operation make driving pleasurable.</p>
<h3>Durable.</h3>
<p>EVs have a narrower range and require higher charging. A similar prejudice from kilometers will be heard. However, newcomers to the field of electric vehicles often overlook the fact that charging most of the time happens when you are at work or sleeping. </p>

Have you made a New Year resolution to go green? The good news is that choosing an electric car isn't just about money. We've already helped you figure out how much you can save by driving electric.

Decide to save money in 2023 with Going Electric

Such savings are very tempting, but they are based only on the cost of fuel. In this article, we have collected many other ways to save time when driving electric vehicles.</p>
<h3>Reduced maintenance costs</h3>
<p>A fully electric car requires minimal maintenance. Cleaning the windshield requires only the rotation of the tires and liquid. Say goodbye to oil changes, exhaust checks, spark plugs, oxygen sensors and so on down the list. Less maintenance means that electric vehicles can save thousands of dollars, especially if they have been replaced with older gasoline-powered vehicles that are past their useful life or require frequent repairs.<p>Regenerative braking not only increases autonomy, but also reduces the load when braking. This could mean changing your brake pads more frequently, saving you even more money.<p>By most estimates, owning an electric car costs at least one time less than an internal combustion vehicle, and saves about $1,000 per year. Low-maintenance vehicles are also more reliable and help EV drivers stay calm and get where they need to go.<p>92% of those most likely to buy an electric car say that car reliability is the most important factor and that they tend to do well in this regard. This is because electric motors move much less than gasoline engines and therefore only require a simple single speed transmission. In addition, electric vehicles avoid many potentially harmful components such as refrigerators, exhaust systems and catalytic converters.</p>
<h3>Federal tax credits.</h3>
<p>The $7,500 federal tax credit (maximum 200,000 vehicles for the automotive industry) is still available for most electric vehicles. Some car manufacturers, such as Tesla and GM, are approaching this limit, reducing motivation. Learn more about the current availability of this incentive. Note that the tax must be high enough to maximize the credit, as this is a tax credit, not a deduction. However, this can be a significant financial benefit for the drive.</p>
<h3>Residential Charging Discounts and Off-Peak Prices</h3>
<p>Once you purchase an EV, the savings don't stop. Many states, cities and utilities are offering subsidies and rebates to support home electric vehicle rates. This can save you even more money. <p><b>HOV lane access and reduced fares</b><p>Electric vehicles are less polluting, which allows us all to save on fresh air and a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, many cities and states are opening up HOV lanes and lowering fares for eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. <p><b>Save time.</b><p>Finally, time is money. Electric driving saves time. There are no other routes to gas stations, fewer visits to dealers, and less time spent in HOV lanes. This can be to your advantage.<p>We hope these incredible savings will convince you to switch to electricity. Realize your New Year's plans!</p>

Few of us connected an electric car to the network and it immediately started working. Of course, we read about them every day, but the truth is that for most people, an electric car (aka electric car) remains a mystery.

How Formula E is helping to redefine electric driving

<p>If this is you, fear not, because the truth is that electric vehicles will stay.<p>You see, there is a quiet revolution going on all over the world right now, and it portends great - important - things for all of us. Great people are now working to make this happen. Rest assured they are building a better world. Let me explain.<p>Like the established automotive industry, the energy industry has remained virtually unchanged for more than a century.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Cars are driven by internal combustion engines.</li>
  <li>Energy is the centralized production and distribution of fossil fuels.</li>
</ul>
<p>Just a few years ago (four years to be exact) a new racing series was born. Many well-known motorsports companies with great ambitions did not find support in the past, but this company, officially supported and sanctioned by the FIA, not only survived, but became very active and attracted both established and innovative figures in the automotive industry. It was attended by both established and innovative figures in the automotive industry.</p>
<h4><b>Formula E is changing the way consumers think</b></h4>
<p>The Formula E Championship (of course the E stands for electric car!) is in keeping with the spirit of these environmentally conscious times and, most importantly, spurring many players into action! Like a magical magnet, the series has attracted many stakeholders from all over the world. They are now working together to accelerate the adoption of low energy vehicle technologies, especially in the areas of mobility and energy.<p>Excellent partnerships have been created, bringing together countries, industries and people, which can be called a global network of profitable business development. So, given all this, how can you get energy?</p>
<h4><b>Electric vehicle revolution</b></h4>
<p>Electric cities to prepare for the inevitable global EV revolution is an important goal for everyone involved in Formula E, and perhaps the best example of how this idea has been put into practice.<p>As you know, this is not only an opportunity to see electronically driven racing cars on challenging urban circuits, but also an important and constructive catalyst for sustainable change.</p>

<h4><b>More than a coincidence</b></h4>
<p>Energy and power management strategies are also fundamental to us as they create a world where EV drivers can plug in and activate their EVs anywhere, anytime. Increasingly - and this is important - energy comes from renewable sources and finds the best place to rest on a battery.<p>The truth is that several amazing things are developing at the same time that will help create the aforementioned best places. Solar and wind power grids, access to shared mobility, personalized/local power generation from solar and wind are on the cusp of democratizing both mobility and energy like never before.<p>In essence, these are the building blocks of a timely revolution against the backdrop of global climate change and deteriorating local air quality.<p>And who has the ability to collect all this and put it into action?<p>And not just when it comes to controlling and managing their carbon footprint, in the same way that they use or buy electric cars and plug them into outlets, or install solar panels on rooftops, or control and manage their bank balances.<p>So while the role of government and big business remains crucial in actually addressing the twin challenges of air quality and climate change, the power to make a difference is in your hands.</p>

Today, however, the range of electric vehicles is much wider. Everything from midsize sedans to city buses are now available as all-electric vehicles, and many are on the market at marginal prices that rival gasoline cars.

6 reasons why electric motorcycles are so important

<p>What about the coolest mode of transport? A car whose whole essence is shrouded in an aura of coolness?<p>Yes, bicycles will also be electric.<p>That's why this is great news.</p>
<h2>1. Petrol motorcycles pollute the environment just as much as petrol cars. </h2>
<p>Of course, conventional motorcycles consume huge amounts of fuel, but don't be fooled. First, it is fuel consumption. They may burn less fuel per kilometer than cars, but they still burn. Also, although they burn less, they emit far more exhaust gases and greenhouse gases.<p>This is because over the past 40 years, the automotive industry has worked tirelessly to reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption. This does not apply to motorcycles.<p>Without the same catalytic converters and exhaust sensors, motorcycles emit four times more hydrocarbons, 32 times more nitrogen oxides and 80 times more carbon monoxide than cars.<p>But with electric motorcycles, zero emissions. Problem solved!</p>
<h2>2. Cities thrive on motorcycles </h2><p><img title="2. Cities thrive on motorcycles"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/3f731b48-5775-48bb-9a7d-8f8464876f9d" alt="2. Cities thrive on motorcycles" /><p>In most urban areas, busy roads are a major problem. Traffic congestion slows down traffic and creates a situation where thousands of cars are idle, emitting large amounts of unwanted exhaust gases.And most importantly, most of these vehicles carry only one person.<p>Imagine half the people on electric motorcycles or scooters. Instead of people driving with four empty seats, they simply take their place, making traffic easier and faster.</p>
<h2>3. Electric motorcycles thrive in cities </h2><p><img title="3. Electric motorcycles thrive in cities"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/8a44f24c-4171-4581-bde8-d6d1cd8f367c" alt="3. Electric motorcycles thrive in cities" /><p>Stop-and-go driving is terrible, especially when it comes to fuel consumption. Standard vehicles achieve maximum efficiency when driving at a constant speed of 50 km/h or more. It's basically the opposite of city driving. In city driving conditions, vehicles can travel at speeds up to 35 km/h and must stop every few hundred meters.<p>This creates a situation in which braking, idling and acceleration occur frequently. All this requires a huge expenditure of energy, at least in gasoline-powered vehicles.<p>However, the purpose of electric bicycles is to move around the city. They use very little power when idling and stop frequently thanks to regenerative braking that eventually recharges the battery. Let's talk about synergy!</p>
<h2>4. Electric motorcycles are very affordable </h2><p><img title="4. Electric motorcycles are very affordable"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/573706eb-ee2b-4d6d-aaed-3875fa4e2ec1" alt="4. Electric motorcycles are very affordable" /><p>One of the reasons people are afraid of regular motorcycles is that they have to work with a sequential gearbox, also known as shifting. In the US, automatic transmissions are very rare on gasoline motorcycles, and anything with manual controls is obsolete.<p>However, this does not apply to electric bikes. Essentially, there is no need to shift gears as there is only one high speed gear. Driving an electric motorcycle is very simple: to start you need to turn the throttle and to stop - the brake pedal. It doesn't get easier.</p>
<h2>5. Electric motorcycles are cheaper to run </h2><p><img title="5. Electric motorcycles are cheaper to run"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/34eee0e2-7641-41fe-ade5-d853eaac3bf7" alt="5. Electric motorcycles are cheaper to run" /><p>From a purely functional standpoint, electric bikes require less maintenance than gas bikes. There are no gasket leaks. There are no spark plugs. No oil changes. For those who are interested in motorcycles, but do not want to get their hands dirty (literally and figuratively), electric bicycles are coming to replace them.<p>Add to that the obvious savings of switching from natural gas to electricity prices: $2.50 per gallon, can you fully charge a battery for less than $2?</p>
<h2>6. Electric motorcycles are FUN! </h2><p><img title="6. Electric motorcycles are FUN!"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/e510b45c-8073-4705-b655-a74ebb6aa6bb" alt="6. Electric motorcycles are FUN!" /><p>Anyone who has ridden a motorcycle can appreciate this delight, but e-bikes also have the advantage of instantaneous torque. This means that the bike accelerates as soon as you step on the gas pedal.<p>There is no need to shift into second or third gear to avoid a redline. As with electric vehicles, it's nice to be outside when the wind is blowing.<p>I</p>

In late 2021, President Biden announced an aggressive plan to require at least 50% of new car sales to be electric by 2030. Fossil batteries and an increase in the workforce with renewable energy vehicles replacing natural gas vehicles.

Energy distribution from vehicle to grid

<p>This article examines how this plan will affect the distribution of energy from cars to the grid. Its goal is to recycle unused energy from electric vehicles back into the national grid.</p>
<h2> What is the distribution of energy from the vehicle to the grid? </h2><p><img title=" What is the distribution of energy from the vehicle to the grid? "  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/cce1c680-7583-433e-9004-06e85f3ca465" alt="What is the distribution of energy from the vehicle to the grid?" /><p>Using green technology to power cars not only makes the world a greener place, it also allows you to earn money from the energy you use to power your car. This is achieved by distributing power from the vehicle to the grid using bi-directional charging.<p>When charging a car, power is usually taken from the mains. This is known as unidirectional charging. Bidirectional charging allows the car to be charged and return energy back to the grid.<p>The car receives alternating current (AC) from the grid and converts it to direct current (DC), which is useful energy for the car. When transferring power from the car to the grid, perhaps using a power converter you already have, you can use the car's internal converter to return that power. You can also use smart charging stations to control the amount of energy used to charge your car.</p>
<h2> What is bidirectional charging used for? </h2><p><img title=" What is bidirectional charging used for? "  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/c0051d5b-450c-489a-8baf-1400a51a14b9" alt="What is bidirectional charging used for?" /><p>Bi-directional charging allows energy to flow in both directions, inside and outside the car. This energy can be returned to the distribution network (or to your home). The purpose of bi-directional charging is to charge a car during off-peak hours and return the energy back to the distribution grid to meet the needs of other people. The demand for energy is growing.<p>In early 2021, Tesla CEO Lironmusk said that electric vehicles could damage the power grid, which is not true. Because cars spend 95% of their time in charging garages, cars can use two charges to return energy to the grid. This improves energy efficiency and potentially stabilizes the energy system.<p>Money can also be made on dual charging, if the car is charged from its own energy source, such as solar panels, and the energy is returned to the grid.<p>The incentive to make money charging electric vehicles could increase the public's desire to look at alternative forms of driving. As the US continues to find innovative ways to encourage and support sustainable energy use, we are getting closer and closer to living in the country President Biden expects to see in 2030.<p>For more information on electric vehicle charging and how to secure a clean energy future, visit our blog.</p>

An EV fleet is better for the environment, a great marketing message and saves thousands of dollars in maintenance and fuel costs. What happens if the entire fleet is replaced by electric vehicles?

How can I electrify my fleet?

These are environmentally friendly changes that are currently taking place and fleet owners are investing heavily in an electric future.</p>
<h2>Reduced fuel costs </h2><p><img title="Reduced fuel costs"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/703f3a7a-7203-4634-a534-d03a9a3aeea0" alt="Reduced fuel costs" /></p><p><img title="Reduced fuel costs"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/35f8eec1-9ba8-4d9d-88c2-48bb455f1199" alt="Reduced fuel costs" /><p>Although the initial cost of electric vehicles is higher than the corresponding gasoline ones, the end result is cheaper to own, fuel, maintain and operate, and for companies that care about every penny, they can offer an entire fleet of electric vehicles. Significant long-term savings.<p>If a natural gas car goes 30 miles per gallon and costs about $3 per gallon, each mile costs about 10 cents in fuel. In comparison, a similar electric car paying 10 cents per kWh costs about 3 cents per kilometer on fuel. Imagine a 70% reduction in fuel costs across your entire fleet.</p>
<h2>Reduce maintenance costs </h2><p><img title="Reduce maintenance costs"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/3bd69072-55f0-4bf6-a27c-1ce37d676792" alt="Reduce maintenance costs" /></p><p><img title="Reduce maintenance costs"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/008023d3-d588-4f56-b39a-967846a3eb6a" alt="Reduce maintenance costs" /><p>Most electric vehicles do not require maintenance for at least 10 years. The necessary maintenance is much cheaper than for natural gas vehicles. Why? First, the driving system of an electric car is simpler than that of a gas car, so there are fewer accidents. Electric vehicles have mostly mobile components. Companies are finding that maintaining their new fleet costs about 50% of the cost of maintaining a gas-powered vehicle.</p>
<h2>Switching </h2><p><img title="Switching"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/01de84c7-8cdc-4969-82f3-b2d156f6eea2" alt="Switching" /><p>Are you ready to build an electric park but don't know where to start? Follow these simple steps to create an electric vehicle fleet.<p>Electric fleets can offer significant savings in the total cost of ownership compared to gas fleets. Coordinating the charging solution with the specific needs of the fleet operator makes the transition more efficient. In the context of developing charging infrastructure, fleet operators also need to learn new systems and new languages. <p>The transport sector is seeing a significant shift away from traditional electric vehicles. Around the world, car enthusiasts have announced more than $3,000 billion in investment in electric vehicles, amid the growing popularity of affordable electric vehicles and an increase in the choice of electric vehicles. Fleet power for transport, distribution, conventional, off-grid, self-driving and other markets is helping to drive this important development of the transport sector.<p>The federal government is also committed to the future of the electric industry, and President Biden is investing in the nation's infrastructure. Fleet power dynamics are driving an increased focus on EV cost-effectiveness, regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability.<p>An electric car fleet is not a distant future, but a reality that can be achieved today.</p>

Paradoxically, the debate over which form of mobility is better is electric or petrol. We may be a little biased, but the answer seems obvious in many ways and for many reasons.

Top 9 reasons why electricity is better than gas

So without further ado, here are the top ten reasons electricity outperforms natural gas.<p>1) Gasoline prices are high.<p>AAA reports that the national average price of gasoline is $3.78, so a Toyota Camry costs over $60 to fill up, while a Tesla model can be fully charged for as little as $10.59. The average price in California is $5. 71 - makes the difference even more striking.<p>2) Headline: Polar bears vote unanimously for outdoor vehicles as ice continues to melt<p>The auditors of the event will indicate that there was no such vote. This is true, but if the bears could vote, the results would be as follows. Arctic sea ice is shrinking by 10% per decade due to increased emissions. And according to the WHO, exhaust gases are responsible for 25% of all US greenhouse gases.<p>(3) Let's face it. No one is investing billions of dollars in gas car innovation.<p>Almost all investment in innovation in the automotive industry is related to the power industry. Not only do all the major automakers have new electric vehicles, many like Cadillac and Volvo promise to be all-electric by 2030; companies like EVC have radical new ideas like payroll programs; and the industry is not only investing in new electric vehicles, but also investing in the development of new technologies.<p>4) You can watch TV shows while your car is filled up!<p>What could be more convenient than charging your car at home while you eat, sleep or spend time with your family? Charge it the same way you charge your mobile phone. If you find your tank is empty and need a public charging station, EVC is here to help.<p>5) Electric cars are safer than a stuffed room full of plush toys.<p>Despite the lack of scientific data to support this claim, the AFDC concludes that BEVs have a lower center of gravity than ICE vehicles, making them more stable and less likely to roll over. In addition, new electric vehicles are often equipped with state-of-the-art safety features and do not have the combustible fuel of internal combustion engines.<p>(6) The maintenance cost of ordinary cars has led to massive trouble.<p>Of course, dissatisfaction with the cost of maintenance does not literally lead to hair loss, but let's face it, keeping a car running is not cheap. For example, a SolarReviews Consumers report found that electric vehicles cost 40% less than combustion engine vehicles because they have fewer moving parts and therefore fewer points of failure.<p>(7) Electric vehicles leave traditional cars in an exhaust cloud (if any).<p>The performance of the cheapest EVs far outperforms those of internal combustion vehicles with direct pedal response, regenerative braking, strong torque and very fast acceleration. <p>8) Electric cars are so quiet you can hear ants screaming.<p>Yes, you have often heard them. Ants can cry. (From the inside.) In addition, electric vehicles do not have traditional drive, exhaust, or combustion systems that cause severe engine vibrations or noise. Thus, listening and discussing simple music while driving becomes even more enjoyable.<p>9) Government subsidies!<p>Governments are investing heavily in the electric vehicle revolution, from buying electric vehicles to funding grid upgrades and charger installations across the country. In fact, the new infrastructure law has invested US$7.5 billion to create a national grid that EVCS is already contributing to!</p>

The difficult, slow and unattractive era of electric vehicles (EV) is over. Gradually eliminate natural gas vehicles, tighten pollution regulations, reduce 50% of natural gas vehicles, and work to increase the number of electric vehicles throughout the range.

Is Electric Better Off-Road Than Gasoline?

<p>As electric vehicles begin to enter the SUV category, compare the advantages and disadvantages of gas and electric vehicles.</p>
<h2>Advantages of an off-road electric vehicle</h2><p><img title="Advantages of an off-road electric vehicle"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/7f7d1e21-16a9-43d9-b857-f8480a5b1d6d" alt="Advantages of an off-road electric vehicle" /><p>Practically imagine SUVs, the trend is rapidly changing towards including electric vehicles in the SUV category. Electric vehicles often have gas mileage, full power, instant torque, and all-wheel drive for off-road drivers.<p>As technology advances, even standard four-wheel drive becomes obsolete. Today's high-end electric vehicles may include a battery for each wheel. At this level of power, each motor driving the wheel can deliver maximum torque at 0 RPM per minute.<p>Compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, electric vehicles save fuel and deliver incredible power and torque right away. Instead of waiting for an internal combustion engine to develop torque, electric vehicles get the job done right away. Their drive system delivers smooth, efficient torque that gasoline-powered vehicles simply can't deliver.<p>For example, when stuck in mud, forward torque is the key to clearing obstacles as each wheel can operate independently.<p>In addition, the lack of accessories on electric vehicles means they can be damaged when you leave the road. Riding on rocky soils or wet areas becomes even more enjoyable when there are fewer components to be damaged. With fewer spare parts and zero risk of engine flooding, electric vehicles eliminate the stress that drives nearly all outdoor adventures.<p>Additional benefits of electric vehicles: Quiet motors. There are no powerful sonic engines to scare the wild animals crossing the landscape to get to the camp. And if you go out in the morning, you do not risk waking up all the vacationers.<p>However, the biggest downside of the SUV market is that there are few options for electric SUVs. However, in the near future, alternative cars, trucks and SUVs will dominate the roads and beyond.</p>
<h2>Verdict: we vote for</h2><p><img title="Verdict: we vote for"  src="https://admin.energy5.com/assets/ff0a5d90-65fc-4194-8250-f1e57690d7e1" alt="Verdict: we vote for" /><p>Electric vehicles will not only improve driving quality on the roads, but will also improve life in the countryside even more. What natural gas vehicles lack, electric vehicles can not only make up for, but also eliminate this shortcoming. With advanced all-wheel drive control, direct torque and reliable off-road capability, the future for off-road electric vehicles looks bright.</p>
