More overtaking may not mean better racing.
Africa doesn’t need a technological breakthrough to scale EV adoption. It needs cheaper capital and supportive policy environments.
Diesel powers most freight trucks. As oil prices spike, electric trucks are looking more attractive – if upfront cost and charging barriers can be overcome
Oil is a key feedstock for everything from plastics to cosmetics. Over time, we’re likely to see less oil burned for transport – and more used to make products.
Oil prices affect the US economy differently than in past decades. Nowadays, the US is less reliant on oil imports and uses less oil to produce more economic output.
Conflict in the Middle East has led to long petrol queues in Australia. Going electric ends reliance on fuel imports – but will you pay back the EV premium?
Australia’s new fuel efficiency standards are already working to cut emissions – but the real story is behind the scenes.
It’s easy to think cheaper EVs will encourage more people to switch. But new research shows subsidising these vehicles is poor value for money. There’s a better way.
Electric vehicles are a fast-growing share of auto sales in many countries, and Chinese automakers are benefiting as the US industry pulls back.
Coal mines are notorious sources of acid mine drainage, but the orange sludge that threatens water supplies and wildlife also contains valuable rare earth elements.
Canada’s move to reduce tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China aims to make EVs more affordable and diversity trade away from the U.S.
EVs made up 24% of new car sales in 2025 – but the days of tax breaks and subsidies look increasingly numbered.
A ‘bidirectional charging’ EV trial is under way that, in years to come, could help solve the UK’s energy conundrum.
Could container ships ever go electric? The best option might be a fleet of attendant battery vessels to power these giants directly.
New fees could stall the transition to more environmentally friendly vehicles.
Battery researchers are seeking options with better performance, improved environmental sustainability and lower cost than lithium-ion batteries.
Nearly two-thirds of Australian towns have no public EV charger within 5 km – and that’s just the start of the gap.
Access to rare earth minerals used to make electric cars and other green tech are likely to be high on the agenda in talks between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
Many of the canceled grants were investments in the science and infrastructure necessary to keep the lights on in coming years, especially when the grid is under stress.
