We may very well see autonomous delivery vehicles before passenger cars (and for much the same reason there’s a huge push to electrify heavy-duty vehicles).
On November 8th, Walmart, in conjunction with B2B logistics provider Gatik, made history with the world’s first autonomous commercial delivery on the
Now here’s a heartwarming story of peaceful cooperation between ancient enemies (that just happens to fall in our space) – Israel and Jordan have signed a solar power/water deal that will see each party provide the other with a critical resource.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Israel have a long and

Rolls Royce isn’t just vying for the title of “world’s coolest electric car” – they’ve taken to the skies, too, and they just broke a speed record. Their “Spirit of Innovation” hit a top speed of 345.4 mph over 1.86 miles.

A new charging cable design developed by Purdue professor Issam Mudawar (center) and his students could reduce an electric vehicle's charging time to under five minutes.
The biggest drawback for electric vehicles right now is “range anxiety” – or the limiting factors of its electric range – and the biggest variable for that is charging speed. Purdue University engineers just developed a prototype charging station cable that could bring EV “refueling” times in line wi
The chip shortage has been hard on vehicle manufacturers. The figures quoted for the industry last year are pretty scary. For example, analyst Alix Partners has predicted that automakers will lose $210bn revenue through producing 7.7 million fewer vehicles. This drop in production has led to automakers stoppin
The House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion bill on Friday that earmarked billions for clean energy R&D and which President Biden called "a once-in-generation bipartisan infrastructure bill that will create millions of jobs, turn the climate crisis into an opportunity, and put us on a path to wi
Two of the factors that most affect the pick-up of electric vehicles are range anxiety and cost. While countries and manufacturers are doing all they can to promote the installation of an infrastructure to cope with the change to electric power, the cost issue hasn’t gone away. Although the price of batteries has d
Tesla has graciously decided to open up its fast-charging stations to non-Tesla vehicles. In the Netherlands. For now.
