Then it’s easy to start solving the problems of hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to wave away a problem set of hydrogen for energy as not your concern. And then solve more of the problems for energy. And wave away another group of problems as something someone else will solve. And then solve yet another problem with hydrogen for energy. And then you are at the bottom of one of many slippery slopes…

Photo: SOLARCYCLE Solar panels made in the US’s largest silicon-based solar panel factory will now be recycled, thanks to a new partnership. The newly announced solar panel recycling agreement between Qcells and SOLARCYCLE is a first-of-its-kind partnership between a large solar panel maker and an advanced solar recycler in the US. Recycled materials from Qcells’ panels, such as aluminum, silver, copper, silicon, and low-iron glass, will be reused in the domestic supply chain to manufacture the next generation of clean energy products. SOLARCYCLE says its patented solar panel recycling technology extracts more than 95% of the value in a module.…

The 319-mile Equinox EV might cost just $27,495 for some families. EVs are too heavy for some U.S. guardrails. EVs and plug-in hybrids are more trouble-prone, suggests an annual survey. And are PHEVs misunderstood? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV will qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit and remains due to start at $34,995 with a 319-mile range, GM confirmed Monday. But that entry model won’t arrive first; a “well-contented” 2RS model will lead the lineup, which appeared to get a price cut for top trims. And dual-motor AWD and other versions…
Stellantis officially announced its adoption of the upcoming SAE J3400 (aka NACS) charging connector in its battery-electric vehicle (BEV) models in North America. The company said it will start with select models in 2025, later mentioning “2026 model year” EVs. Get Fully Charged SAE J3400 NACS is coming in 2024 SAE International expects the Tesla-developed NACS charging solution will be standardized before the end of 2024, as the SAE J3400. It will be used in new electric cars instead of the SAE J1772 Combo (aka CCS1) for AC and DC charging. During the transition period, Stellantis also intends to make…
Japanese automaker Toyota is benchmarking the all-electric Tesla Cybertruck, GMC Hummer EV, and Ford F-150 Lightning, possibly as part of a development program that could result in a Toyota-branded EV pickup, according to Motrolix, which quotes sources within the automaker’s development team. The three American-made electric trucks are being put through their paces at two Toyota campuses in the United States, Motrolix writes, with various departments taking turns evaluating the battery-powered pickups. Get Fully Charged Toyota is testing the electric pickup waters Toyota, which has been under fire for its feet-dragging approach to embracing an all-electric lineup, is reportedly benchmarking…
As Chevrolet revealed last fall, the 2024 Equinox EV will eventually arrive with a $34,995 starting price, including the $1,395 destination fee—in a form that achieves an EPA-rated 319 miles. GM confirmed again Monday that all versions will qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit—meaning that the effective base price for eligible buyers might be just $27,485. But that entry model won’t arrive first. Before it, the Equinox EV will launch as a “well-contented” 2RS model, in front-wheel-drive form. While the 2RS was set to be priced at $48,995 as of October, it’s now been cut to $44,795. 2024 Chevrolet…
Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! It’s been interesting to watch the small electric vehicle space lately as companies come up with their own versions of small and lightweight appropriately-sized EVs that are made specifically for city living, where distances are shorter, speeds are lower, and parking is a hassle. An e-bike might not be feasible or desirable for getting around for many people, and yet a full-size EV might be overkill in both size and expense, but a small electric city car might fit the bill. One that had…
It’s official. The Tesla Model Y refresh, which is also known in the enthusiast community as “Project Juniper,” won’t make an appearance in the United States in 2024. The news comes via Teslascope, which got a hold of an official message sent from Tesla to its delivery advisors, reading: “It is important that we communicate transparently that there is no refresh for Model Y launching this year.” Get Fully Charged The Model Y charges away unchanged in the U.S. until next year Tesla’s most popular car, the Model Y, will go through 2024 without major changes, according to a message…
