Scientists Pioneer Chemical Bath Method to Restore Aging EV Batteries Without Breaking Them Down What if instead of investing billions into battery recycling plants, you could simply take your aging electric vehicle battery back, give it a good scrub, and get all that lost range back? That’s near the mark of what Cornell University scientists have recently demonstrated, if a little editorialized. Indeed, the current foreseen solution to the […] The post Scientists Pioneer Chemical Bath Method to Restore Aging EV Batteries Without Breaking Them Down appeared first on Good News Network.

RE: https://journa.host/@fulelo/117318943608527144 maybe they should have embraced #EVs instead of fighting them at every turn... really serves them right.

After a 20-year roller coaster ride, the US startup Aptera is gearing up for series production of EVs that can run on their own solar power. https://cleantechnica.com/2026/08/04/solar-powered-ev-aptera-qualifies-california-hov-lanes/ #evs #electricvehicles #electriccars #autocycles #solarpower #solarcar #solarev #solarenergy #cleanenergy #greenenergy #renewabeleenergy #renewables #sustainable #sustainability #automotive #startups #us #transportation #mobility #decarbonization #zeroemission

🔌 This country went 100% electric vehicles overnight with a drastic approach ｢ The country runs almost entirely on hydropower and has built its export strategy around selling electricity to its neighbors. But it imports every drop of the fuel its cars burn, and that fuel bill is paid in foreign currency Laos is chronically short on. Every gas car swapped for an electric one runs on domestic hydro instead of imported diesel. That’s the whole game ｣ https://electrek.co/2026/07/22/laos-bans-gas-diesel-car-imports-ev/ #EV #EVs

For most US drivers, EVs offer emissions benefits and cost savings

In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.

🔋 MIT just published the most comprehensive EV emissions study yet, analyzing every US zip code with real driving data. Battery EVs cut lifetime emissions 40-60% vs gas cars in most locations. Even on the dirtiest grid in the country, they still come out ahead. The study used DOE's GREET lifecycle model, which already includes battery manufacturing. So the "but what about making the batteries?" question is answered: building an EV produces 50-80% more CO2 upfront, but it pays that back over the vehicle's life. Your driving habits matter as much as where you live. High mileage, city driving, and larger vehicles all boost the EV advantage. Cold weather cuts efficiency on a frigid night but barely dents annual savings. The "who benefits from the doubt?" question has a paper trail. The API has run anti-EV messaging since 1967. Koch-funded groups planned $10M/year campaigns. AFPM dropped $10M+ on "Don't Ban Our Cars" ads in 2024 swing states. https://news.mit.edu/2026/us-drivers-electric-vehicles-offer-emissions-benefits-cost-savings-0512 #EVs #Climate #Science

Just a few days ago I saw a lot of inauthentic posts talking about how everyone is buying Teslas now. And if they were here on the Fedi, they were probably all over corporate #SocialMedia.

Now I know why…

In other words, investors are growing increasingly wary of Musk’s reinvention of his car business…

EVs outsold petrol and diesel in Germany for the first time. The birthplace of the car just changed its fuel.

Germany registered 84,057 EVs in June, beating hybrids (83,315), petrol (60,796) and diesel (33,862). EVs now hold 28.4% of the market. Tesla Model Y led.
