Researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory developed a method to charge batteries up to 90 percent in just 10 minutes. And most important, it could be implemented in today's cars via a software update. — Current electric vehicles are perfect for everyday use while commuting and driving around your city. …

Tesla fans have been patiently waiting for the cheaper $25,000 model, but let’s be real, the brand is not going to produce it in the short term. This is what they will do instead. — In September 2020, during Battery Day, we could hint at several slides of Tesla’s presentation, a new smaller model that would cost $25,000. It was clearly shown and expectations grew high. Also, last week, there was an official response from Moody’s credit rating agency regarding the need for Tesla to…

Although the market is being flooded with new EVs every month, most people don’t realize how big the gap is between Tesla and the other manufacturers. Let’s see why. — In June 2012, Tesla started deliveries of its first mass-production electric vehicle, the Model S. Then, the company’s co-founder, J.B. Straubel, and others were afraid that once other car manufacturers saw how good their product was, and that clearly it was the future, they would start copying it.

Since the early years of Tesla, Elon Musk has been talking about the inefficiencies of car manufacturing and how the process can be improved greatly. — It was December 1st, 1913 when the first moving assembly line for mass production of an entire automobile was installed by Henry Ford and it reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to 1 hour and 33 minutes. For more than a century…

In just a few years, car manufacturers which survive will have mastered battery and motor manufacturing and there won’t be significant differentiation in the drivetrain. Only software and overall user experience will allow a car to stand out against the others. — The electric vehicle revolution is coming together with an upgrade on infotainment systems. New customers demand new features in their vehicles: better user interface, full-time connection, entertainment, and more.

In just a few years, some companies, which are working on self-driving software for private use or to be licensed to others, will have to decide how to price it. — In a recent interview with Sandy Monroe, Jim Farley, Ford’s CEO told Sandy that when he left Toyota to move to Ford, he had to sell his Prius. At that moment the car had the HOV sticker that would allow him to drive in the carpool lane and it saved…

As electric vehicle sales grow, demand for gasoline will descend and so will its price, making gasoline and diesel powered cars more affordable therefore pushing its sales. I really don’t think so. — In my article titled “Germany wants to still produce and sell combustion engine vehicles after 2035” I received a comment from a Medium user noticing that if EV sales rise in the following years the price of gasoline will fall dramatically while electricity prices will rise to make ICE cars…

Although not perfect, current research on energy storage bets for this kind of battery to completely redo our energy industry and finish fossil fuel dominance. — We all know that the current energy generation mix is not sustainable in the long run due to greenhouse effect gas emissions. Still, electricity produced from solar and wind is intermittent and not always available when needed. It also depends a lot on geography and the season.

Many drivers are thinking about whether to take the leap to buy an electric vehicle but are still concerned about some issues surrounding the EV ecosystem. — When choosing to switch to electric, problems such as the higher car price, limited range, and charging infrastructure availability are heading many people off. But these issues are not so worrying and they will be solved shortly. Here are the main three that worry us most and their short-term solutions.
