EU Urban Mobility Observatory’s Post

🌍 A large survey by the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO) in twelve #EU Member States shows a positive attitude towards switching to battery-electric cars. Despite price being a hurdle, 57% of non-electric car drivers are considering to purchase an electric car in the future 🔌🚗 🔎 Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZXHvaQH #eboostproject 🚀 #electromobility #emobility #eurocluster

Electric vehicles are at the forefront of a transformative shift in #transportation, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional #gasoline-powered cars. With advancements in battery technology, increased driving range, and expanding charging infrastructure, EVs are set to dominate the market. Their role in reducing #carbonemissions and dependence on #fossilfuels marks a significant step toward a cleanerv,greener future. #ElectricVehicles #EVRevolution #SustainableTransport #GreenMobility #CleanEnergy #EVTechnology #ZeroEmissions #BatteryInnovation #FutureOfTransport #EcoFriendlyCars #ElectricMobility #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/dHEjRyyz

Good #emobility news! 📰 👍 According to a new survey by European Alternative Fuels Observatory, there is a generally positive attitude towards making the switch to #BEV 🔋 🚗 In fact, 57% of non-EV drivers consider becoming electric drivers in future 🔌 🎉 Let’s continue providing Europeans with BEV solutions through a clear regulatory framework that will ensure EVs become cheaper in the future 🤲 Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFtMnsAp

The recent #EPA regulations are pushing for tighter limits on tailpipe #emissions across medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles, sparking what many call an "EV push" in the automotive industry. 🚗💨 E.g., regulations mandate that medium-duty vehicles reduce their #GHG emissions by 44%. 😶🌫️ But as these limits are applied across an automaker's entire fleet, OEMs have the flexibility to mix and match their products to meet restrictions. This can be achieved through a collection of more efficient engines, using alternative fuels like hydrogen-powered vehicles, PHEV and #EVs. Of course, we are a bit biased for EVs and the advantages they offer. 😎 Head over to our blog and discover how we can help you navigate the EV transition and meet new regulations. #EVTransition #Sustainability

A EU report published in March 2024 with data from 2021 found that real-world CO2 emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are on average 3.5 TIMES HIGHER than their stated laboratory values. One aspect of the report that I found most informing was that this first report is based on the real-world data collected by vehicle manufacturers. Read the full report free of charge.

Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Future Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a significant innovation in the automotive industry, capturing the attention of consumers and policymakers alike. These vehicles, powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels, offer numerous advantages, including reduced air pollution and decreased reliance on oil resources. This article explores the positive and negative aspects of electric vehicles. Positive Aspects of Electric Vehicles 1) Reduced Air Pollution: EVs produce zero greenhouse gases and air pollutants, contributing to improved air quality and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. 2)Lower Maintenance Costs: Due to fewer moving parts and the absence of oil and filter changes, EVs generally have lower maintenance costs compared to gasoline vehicles. 3) High Efficiency: Electric motors are more efficient than internal combustion engines, converting more energy into vehicle movement. 3) Better Driving Experience: With instant torque, EVs offer quicker acceleration and a smoother driving experience. Negative Aspects of Electric Vehicles 1) Limited Range: One of the main challenges of EVs is their limited range on a single charge. Although battery technology is advancing, this limitation still exists. 2) Long Charging Times: Fully charging an EV battery can take several hours, which may be inconvenient for some users. 3) Insufficient Infrastructure: In many countries, the infrastructure for charging EVs is not yet fully developed, which can limit their usability. 4) High Initial Cost: EVs typically have a higher purchase price compared to gasoline vehicles, although these costs are offset over time by lower maintenance and fuel expenses. Conclusion Despite current challenges and limitations, electric vehicles represent a sustainable solution for reducing air pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. With advancements in technology and the development of necessary infrastructure, the adoption of EVs is expected to increase, playing a crucial role in sustainable transportation. #ElectricVehicles #EV #SustainableTransport #GreenEnergy #FutureOfMobility #CleanTech #ZeroEmissions #ElectricCars #EcoFriendly #InnovationInMotion #EVRevolution #SmartMobility #ElectricDrive #SustainableFuture #GreenDriving

This is an interesting comparison of the lifecycle costs of electric v petrol cars. As expected, the electric vehicles are better for the environment even after factoring in the costs of construction. As battery range increases (and ‘range anxiety’ decreases) more people driving EVs will be better for the planet. #EV #electricvehicles #energy

"A continuous trend of shrinking market share for battery electric cars in the EU sends an extremely worrying signal to industry and policymakers. European auto manufacturers, united in ACEA, therefore call on the EU institutions to come forward with urgent relief measures before new CO2 targets for cars and vans come into effect in 2025. Additionally, we urge the European Commission to bring forward the CO2 regulation reviews for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, currently scheduled for 2026 and 2027 respectively, to 2025." 👉 Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/dnZka45U #ECGNews #automotive #EVs
