More and more motorists are opting for bigger EVs – but there are several environmental concerns to consider.
Support for road-user charging strengthens when people are assured that revenue goes into reducing traffic congestion, maintaining transport infrastructure, improving public transport.
The High Court has ruled the right to charge an electric vehicle tax rests with the Commonwealth despite the Constitution not mentioning cars or roads.
Taxing electric vehicles was always a bad idea. But the High Court’s ruling against Victoria’s law could make state-based road user charges impossible.
Some power plants don’t have massive smokestacks or cooling towers – or even a central site.
The transition to net zero emissions is under grave threat if governments do not do more to address the potential unfairness of some climate policies.
Sodium is a cheap and viable alternative to lithium in batteries for low-medium range EVs.
The Biden Administration’s signature climate legislation is unleashing a wave of clean energy investment, along with some opportunities and risks for countries like Australia.
The Biden administration directed agencies to consider the cost of greenhouse gas emissions in their future purchasing and budget decisions. An example shows just how much is at stake.
Lithium-ion battery fires are rare, but they can cause a lot of damage – and they’re challenging to put out.
Building an auto industry for the future that serves the needs of workers, companies and consumers alike will require innovative partnerships between the union and management.
Research on how people adopt new technologies suggests the transition is now well under way.
Rishi Sunak has delayed some of the UK’s key net zero targets – a look back at history may explain why.
The International Energy Agency moved up the date when it expects oil demand to peak to before 2030. Electric vehicle growth is a big part of the reason.
Reports of electric vehicle fires might lead some people to fear the growing numbers of these vehicles will increase fire risk. In fact, replacing petrol and diesel vehicles is likely to reduce it.
Joe Biden’s ‘buy American’ effort with EVs likely violated World Trade Organization rules that the US helped create. The US has an opportunity now to update the system – if it’s willing to take it.
Canada should invest in sustainable transportation infrastructure to accelerate the green transition.
China is moving beyond oil and extractive commodities towards industrial production, job creation and investments that lead to exports.
Air travel emissions are proving difficult and costly to cut, but travellers can make a surprisingly big difference simply by changing how they travel to and from the airport.
