Welcome to the Electric Car News page
So as you can see we have a lot of information here. For my goal is to provide as much electric car information as I can! In addition, I’ll be adding more news to this page every day
Furthermore, if you have any electric vehicle reports and insights, please send me a message on the contact us page! I am so grateful to provide this information to you!
As I have written before:
Excerpt from Build Your Own Electric Vehicle
We need more electric cars on the road
Electric cars are the cleanest, most efficient, and most cost-effective form of transportation around. Seriously, electric cars are high-performance vehicles. Those that will continue to meet new challenges in the future.
Here are some other reasons why we do need to have more electric cars on the road:
No oil changes
No spark plugs and
Also No other real repairs.
Build Your Own Electric VehicleIn addition, electric cars represent the most environmentally friendly car fuel. Especially as they have absolutely no emissions. The energy generated to power the electric car and also the energy to move the car. For it is 97 percent cleaner in terms of noxious pollutants.
Another advantage of electric motors is their ability to provide power at almost any engine speed. So whereas only 20 percent of the energy in a gas car converts to actual, useable energy. However, 75 percent or more of the energy from a battery reaches the wheels.
Most importantly, less than 2 percent of U.S. electricity is generated from oil. So using electricity as a transportation fuel would also greatly reduce dependence on imported petroleum.
Even assuming that the electricity to power the EV is not produced from rooftop solar or natural gas (let’s assume it comes 100 percent from coal), it is still much cleaner than gasoline produced from petroleum!
The power plants are stationary sources that can be modified over time to become cleaner.
The electric car would cost no more than $1.25 to fill up regularly. In New York terms, that’s less than a token on the subway.

If you have been around any larger cities recently, odds are you have seen tons of those rideshare electric scooters around. The eco-friendly nature and convenience of electric scooters have seen an explosion in their popularity in recent years. With the fast proliferation of these electric scooters, one may think that electric scooters are a relatively recent phenomenon. Interestingly enough, did you know that the first patent of an electric motorbike actually dates back to 1895, a full year before the invention of the first gas-powered motorbike? Let’s take a deep dive into the history of the electric scooter to see where it all started.
Nowadays, there are dozens of electric scooter manufacturers. For I mean in several countries. Also and they are becoming a common sight in most cities. Several rideshare companies like Uber and Lime have electric scooters. Those that you can rent for one-off trips. People favor electric scooters due to their portability. Moreover their ease of use. Also their low environmental footprint. Then you have less maintenance, and fewer regulations. That’s compared to more traditional methods of transportation.
The fuel cost of a gas-powered scooter is almost 4 times as high as an electric scooter and gas-powered scooters actually emit more greenhouse gasses than cars proportional to their size. The current fastest electric scooter on the market is the NANROBOT LS7 which can reach a top speed of 52 mph, almost highway speeds.
So you can see why people are so excited about electric scooters and why this trend is probably here to stay.

Original Electric Vehicle Association has numerous local chapters.
There are offshoots from the original, and new local entities having no connection with the original. There are also associations and organizations designed to serve corporate and commercial interests rather than individuals. Each one of these has its own meetings, events, and newsletter.
Electric Vehicle Association
www.electricauto.org
Founded in 1967, this is the oldest, largest organization, and has consistently been the best source of EV information for the individual. The newsletter subscription is well worth the price of the membership dues. Recent newsletters have averaged 16 to 20 pages and provide information on current EV news and happenings. I can’t emphasize enough the invaluable knowledge on tap in the members of this organization. The experience level of the various drivers who have built their own conversions can shorten one’s learning curve substantially.
Information on and photos of the many samples of conversions done over the years by this organization can be found at http://www.evalbum.com.
Here are some EAA local chapters—maybe there’s one near you.

With their immense potential for increasing the country’s energy security, economic vitality, and quality of life, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
For that’s including plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles. I mean they will play a key role in the country’s transportation future.
The Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) supports a variety of work to lower the cost and increase the convenience of PEVs. So, the VTO is collaborating with national laboratories and industry to improve batteries and electric drive systems.
To maximize these technologies’ effectiveness, researchers use simulation and modeling software to create virtual vehicles based on data collected from vehicles on the road and in the laboratory through the Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA).
In addition, VTO also works with national laboratories and key stakeholders to advance the development and use of PEV charging infrastructure. Three broad principles guide VTO efforts in this area and are intended to support communities, companies, and others as they plan for future PEV charging availability.
The office closely coordinates with other Federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation, state and local governments, industry partners, and other key stakeholders to serve current and future PEV drivers across America:
Community and fleet readiness activities. For those that connect local governments and private fleets with our nearly 100 Clean Cities coalitions around the country.
Moreover, the PEV Readiness Scorecard helps communities assess how prepared they are for PEV drivers/. while a number of cities are already finding ways to improve planning, increase training, and cut red tape through PEV community readiness projects.
Furthermore. VTO partners with a number of organizations and companies to train the American workforce to develop, build, repair, and respond to incidents with these vehicles. VTO has sponsored student competitions in advanced vehicles for more than 25 years, with the latest focusing on transforming a conventional Chevrolet Camaro into a PEV without compromising performance, safety, or consumer acceptability.
In conclusion, VTO’s Batteries, Charging, and Electric Vehicles program aims to research new battery chemistry and cell technologies. All that can:
Reduce the cost of electric vehicle batteries to less than $100/kWh—ultimately $80/kWh
Increase range of electric vehicles to 300 miles
Decrease charge time to 15 minutes or less.
