Horse Powertrains offers some innovative solutions for converting your BEV into a hybrid, PHEV or EREV. More important than the technology, however, is that Renault and Geely, partners in the project, think there's a live market for automakers desperate to convert their electric vehicle plans to partial ICE power: https://lnkd.in/gE_6Dw2j

While the BEV (battery electric vehicle) pickup is no longer moving forward, Stellantis still intends to introduce an extended-range (EREV) Ram. https://lnkd.in/e6BbD4Yg

Interesting news from GM. Their reported breakthrough in battery chemistry could be a game-changer for EV affordability. With electric SUVs hitting price parity with their gasoline counterparts, this could be a powerful proposition for consumers who've been on the fence. This new battery has the potential to unlock the mass market for EVs and reshape the global supply chain. If these claims hold true, we could be looking at a major acceleration in the transition to electric mobility. #EV #EVBattery #ElectricVehicles

⚡️Used EVs are flying off the forecourts⚡️ Not long ago, buying a second-hand electric car felt like a bit of a gamble. Fast forward to today, and the story’s completely flipped: ➡️1 in 10 used car sales is now electric ➡️Tesla’s Model 3 is selling in just 17 days ➡️EVs are officially the fastest-selling fuel type on AutoTrader So what’s driving the shift? More choice, better prices, lower running costs, longer ranges, and growing confidence from drivers who’ve already made the switch. If you’re in the market for your next car, the used EV space has never looked so good🚗⚡🌍 👉 I’ve pulled together more thoughts in my latest Tandem Bank blog - https://lnkd.in/e9PDnHTF #EVs #SustainableMotoring #WeAreTandem #TandemMotorFinance #AutoTrader #GreenerMotoring

Hyundai may have just solved one of the biggest roadblocks to solid-state EV batteries. By overcoming copper corrosion, Hyundai’s new patent could mean cheaper, longer-lasting, and more efficient electric car batteries by 2030. In this episode, I break down what this breakthrough means for range anxiety, EV affordability, and Hyundai’s position in the solid-state battery race against Toyota, BYD, and Tesla. https://lnkd.in/eQs8EuWZ

🔌 Passenger Electric Vehicles: Single Plug, Single Standard It has long been one of the greatest frustrations for passenger EV drivers – multiple charging types, varying compatibility, and uncertainty on the side of the road. That’s about to change. Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS), standardized now as SAE J3400, is quickly becoming the industry standard for passenger EVs. As more automakers and networks adopt the system, the industry is moving closer to true interoperability. ✅ Single universal plug → trouble-free charging on any network ✅ Streamlined infrastructure → faster, easier rollouts ✅ Improved user experience → enhanced confidence and greater convenience when driving This is crucial to accelerating EV adoption. When refueling is comparable to charging, passenger EVs can scale seamlessly. 🚗⚡ Confusion about charging is being swapped with charging confidence for motorists.

GM Rolls Out EV Adapters to Ease Transition to NACS Charging Standard General Motors is stepping up efforts to simplify EV charging as it transitions from the Combined Charging System (CCS1) to the North American Charging Standard (NACS), starting with the 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ and OPTIQ-V. To bridge the gap during this transition, GM has introduced a suite of EV adapters that will allow owners of both CCS1- and NACS-equipped vehicles to access more than 250,000 charging stations across North America. The move is part of GM’s commitment to charging standardization, ensuring flexibility for customers regardless of vehicle model or charging infrastructure. “Think of this shift like the evolution from multiple phone […] - https://lnkd.in/gea4yvuB #automotive #evs #ev #electricmobility #emobility #ebikes #fleets #evfleet #evnews #autonews #electricvehicles #electricvehicle #automotiveindustry #automotivejobs #cleantech #cleanenergy #hydrogen #lithium #evbattery #sustainability #climatechange #charging #detroit #electricvehicles #evcharging #gm #michigan #northamerica #unitedstates

New research from reveals that EV drivers use just 12.6% of their car's range daily, with most electric vehicles averaging only 40.9 miles of driving per day despite having 350-375 mile ranges. This data suggests the automotive industry's "range arms race" may be creating expensive solutions to problems that don't actually exist for most drivers. The findings could reshape how we think about EV battery sizing and costs. https://lnkd.in/eCND_frU #ElecVulum #EV #infrastructure
