    Porsche's Electric SUV isn't for the Common Man

    ­While it’s never been cheaper to electrify your transportation, Porsche’s new EV is unequivocally for wealthy patrons who want to go green.

    AceOn’s portable power generators and mini-grid systems

    One of the biggest problems with electric vehicles is that their batteries degrade over time and performance drops off, until the batteries have to be replaced. The lowered performance could be due to several things, for example, temperature, cycles, or just time. In under a decade the battery could need replac

    Snow Reminds EV Owners that Batteries Hate Cold Weather

    ­With blizzards blanketing the country, thousands of motorists are getting a crash course on why EVs and cold weather don’t mix. Reports are coming in from Chicago-area recharging stations of “car graveyards” – an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station has seen desperate consumers spending hours, even days

    CES Posits AI as the Next Big Thing

    Application Blockage Slows the UK Green Energy Transition
    adobe

    The UK needs to overhaul its energy grid application process to help with its energy transition.

      The move from fossil fuels to renewable energy is proving anything but easy. At least in the UK, lack of investment from previous governments that have failed to prepare for the transition means that there is a tremendous amount of work to do.

    UK EV Sales Surge to Record Highs

    ­While the overall UK new car market is still recovering from COVID-19, EVs are surging, with record high deliveries in 2020.

In 2024, the topic du jour will be AI. This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise. We’ve all seen the AI chatbots, and the AI-generated imag
