Australia is ready for a rational and transparent discussion about road-user charging on all vehicles, not just electric ones.
Researchers found the stop-start way we drive actually prolongs battery life.
Should Canada pull back on its EV ambitions, or double down to secure its position in the global market?
Despite the challenges a second Trump administration will bring, Canada can continue to address climate change by working with sub-national leadership in the U.S.
The government could look to support domestic manufacturers – but Chinese rivals are circling.
Flow batteries can feed energy back to the grid for up to 12 hours – much longer than lithium-ion batteries, which only last four to six hours.
Emissions from city drivers have largely fallen, while emissions from rural and regional drivers have risen.
Competition in the car industry is intense.
As batteries get bigger, they pose a bigger fire risk, but some are more dangerous than others.
Installing chargers in existing apartment blocks can be complicated. So how can these challenges be overcome?
Your EV battery is much larger than a home battery. But until now, Australian drivers haven’t been able to run their homes off their cars – or sell power back to the grid. That’s about to change.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
Sub-Saharan Africa is lagging behind in the transition to electric cars and motorbikes. Investment in local manufacturing, renewable energy and storage systems to supply charging stations is needed.
The future of these job-generating gigafactories, many of them in Republican states, could be at risk if the next president tries to wipe out the programs that made them possible.
Personal action on climate still has a place – but it works far better with institutional backing

The issue isn’t just the number of chargers – it’s also the quality of drivers’ experiences with them.
