Issues related to climate, air pollution, economy and geopolitics
Global Issues
New electric vehicles are more powerful, affordable, safer, and reliable. Nearly every automobile manufacturer in the world is pursuing EV technology, and many other industries are looking for ways to adapt the science for their own products.
Global Issues
When designing EV batteries, engineers consider charging times, degradation, and safety. Energy and density are important when coming with Electric Vehicles. Regardless of Lithium-ion battery cell and module sizes, the high-voltage battery systems
Global Issues
Lithium-ion batteries consist of cobalt which is now a very expensive material. As a result of this Tesla announce in September 2020, they intend to produce EV batteries that are cobalt-free cathodes
Global Issues
For the world to be fully electrified, there is a need to produce huge amounts of lithium-ion batteries. However, for this to happen we need new sources and technology to cushion this, they include extract and process battery materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
Global Issues
It is delusional to try separate health and environmental policies because each affects the other. Our health majorly depends on the climate and other organisms that we share on planet Earth.
Global Issues
The world is racing to end global warming, as a result, there are plans to switch to electric cars globally. Several automotive brands such as Tesla have paved the way for the standardization to purchase an electric car.
Global Issues
Temperature and humidity levels highly affect the performance, safety, and lifetime of battery cells, thus forging their dominance in a fundamentally provocative situation for battery integration into vehicles.
Global Issues
Electric cars do not need a lot of services like the ICEs. Additionally, they are generally easier on the brakes and have fewer moving parts to break
Global Issues
Electric vehicles are fast becoming mainstream. A few years ago there were fewer electric vehicle models were sold worldwide. Infrastructure has been a problem for the longest time because few places had to charge stations and buyers are worried about running out of juice
Global Issues
Transportation can have a huge impact on the quality of life; in normal times, we spend much time and energy moving around. The pandemic gives us a pause to reflect on the future of transport globally, but specifically in Africa.
Global Issues
Hyundai will replace its battery system in some of the 82,000 EVs sold globally due to fire risk. The cost of replacing is about a costly $900 million recall that lays bare the thorny issue of how car and battery makers split the bill when problems arise.
Global Issues
Decarbonizing energy is in the right direction, but transport, which is the second-largest global source of greenhouse emission, is a different situation. In 2019, emissions from transport increased by less than 0.5%.
