A new battery swapping technology that allows for electric two-wheelers like motorcycles to be more affordable. We sat down during Hong Kong Climate Week with Kevin To, CEO of One Energy (HK) Limited, to learn more.
Trucks release a plethora of harmful greenhouse gasses and pollutants that not only endanger human communities, but also our environment. This week, we spoke to Mr. Ruben Aronin about various policies mandating zero-emission trucks throughout the United States.
As EV adoption increases, so does the need to charge them. We spoke with Tiya Gordon, co-founder of It’s Electric, to learn more about curbside charging and how it is an equitable solution towards promoting sustainable transportation through EVs.
To decarbonize transportation, we’ll need to switch to electric cars. New electric vehicles are decreasing in price and increasing in range and accessibility, but remain out of reach for many. Could EV Retrofitting, a process that converts cars from internal combustion to electric in just a few hours, be what fills in the gap? Listen to Climate Break talk to Dr. Aly El Tayeb, founder of Egyptian retrofitting startup EV Shift, about its potential.
Lithium-ion batteries are an integral part of life in our modern electrified world. However, they may not be the best choice as demand increases. We spoke to Dr. Jason Croy from the Argonne National Laboratory, who is working on solutions like nickel-manganese-cobalt cathodes.
As the value and efficiency of renewable energy generation improves, nations across the world seek to expand their grids sustainably. We spoke to Daniel Ngumy at the UN Climate Conference about Kenya’s leadership in clean electrification and its influence on e-mobility.
As demand for electricity increases drastically, California is in need of innovative, sustainable sources of energy. Electric vehicles, with their high-capacity batteries, demonstrate high potential, not only as a portable energy source but also as backup for emergency scenarios. We spoke with CEO of Climate Center, Ellie Cohen, to learn more about the future of bidirectional charging.
California’s ambitious goal to achieve 60% renewable energy by 2030 brings new challenges in managing grid stability due to the variable nature of solar and wind energy. With growing demands from electric vehicles and energy-efficient buildings, enhancing energy storage capacity becomes crucial for a sustainable transition.
With more and more people concerned about climate change and climate pollution, local governments are increasingly demanding zero-emissions public transportation options. But those can be costly. We spoke with Ed Thomson, from Scotland’s transport agency, to learn about their pathway to decarbonization of heavy-duty vehicles, such as public buses.
The European Union’s new trucking policies are a key component of its goal to quickly achieve a 90% gas emissions reduction. But economic and societal conditions must be set to enable this goal. We spoke with Sofie Defour of Transport and Environment, a European NGO, to learn more.
