  • Tata Power to install 1000 charging points for electric vehicles in India

    Electric vehicles in India will get a huge boost as Tata power is going to install 1000 electric vehicle charging points and around a lakh solar pumps across the Indian state of Odisha in the coming five years.

    Already, it has set up 50 points for electric vehicle charging while 97 points are additionally under many stages of installation or commissioning as per a release from the company.

    The announcement of setting up solar pumps was made during the Make in Odisha conclave in Bhubaneshwar. Tata power said that this was a part of its efforts in solarization of the agriculture sector in this state.

    Tata power has already installed more than 700 solar pumps in further addition to the 1200 dual pumps for the applications of community drinking all over the state. Considering the huge potential that the state has in harnessing renewable energy, Tata power has said that it is going to participate in the growth of clean energy and renewable growth in this state.

    In Rooftop solar space, this company is also considering the installation of close to 1000 MW of the rooftop solar panels in this state. It has already installed more than 25 MW all over the state. This helps in reducing enough emissions comparable to the planting of as many as 11.31 lakh trees.

  • Switzerland may limit electric vehicle usage due to electricity shortage.

    Electric vehicles Europe situation will have to be on high alert as Switzerland may be forced to limit the use of electric vehicles if the electric supply shortages happen in winter. This is under a new four-pronged plan for preventing blackouts and power cuts.

    For maintaining energy security in the Winter months, Switzerland may be the first country which limits driving and using the electric vehicles.  

    Driving an electric vehicle might be banned in Switzerland unless the journey is an absolutely necessary one in the third stage of the power conservation plan. The country is also going to plan a stricter limit of speed on the highways in the action plan which is proposed recently but hasn’t been adopted yet. Typically, Switzerland imports its electricity from both Germany and France for meeting its demands for power but the supply is constrained this year from their neighbors.

    The nuclear fleet available to France is a lot lower than it was and that has led to this country becoming an importer of electricity after many years of calling itself a net exporter.

    French Electricity grid will be at a risk higher than any of the previous years for strained power supplies in the month of January. France may also be facing a risk of power cuts in the winter and the electricity supply might not be enough to meet all demands.

    The situation is also similar in Germany as the utilities are now having to make up for the loss that they have faced due to the disruptions from Russian pipelines.

    Power supply is still uncertain in Switzerland and the trouble with electric capacity not being there might not be ruled out.

    This may be a big impacting factor and one which the electric vehicles Europe association would have to take seriously for the growth of the electric vehicles.

  • US electric vehicle shows negligible impact on carbon emissions

    Electric vehicles are seemingly the most important discussion point right now as there is a lot of effort being made for the electrification and it has been spurred on by the impending regulations of the government all over the world and they are aimed at reduction of dependency on the fossil fuels. However in what is a body blow to the movement, the data shows that the electric vehicle sales may not be impacting the gasoline consumption. The United States Electric vehicles sales is higher than ever despite the shortages of supply chain and a frequent markup of dealership. But according to a recent estimate, it has been reported that the consumption of gasoline only reduced by 0.54 % last year.

    The United States plug-in vehicles had driven close to 70 billion miles in total ever since the year 2010. This has displaced the use of 2.5 billion gallons of gasoline and close to 19 million tons of the greenhouse gasses. It was estimated that about 370 million gallons of gasoline were consumed in the year 2021. For the year, the plug-in vehicles saved only about 690 million gallons of gasoline which is only about a couple of days of consumption and the reduction of emission was very less.

    This raises questions on the electric vehicle environmental impact. The biggest growth was in the plug-in sales which has doubled from the last year to 634,000 from the 308,000 vehicles it was at earlier.

    It was assumed that plug-in drivers behave a lot like their gasoline-driven counterparts but applied the PHEV factor to it which adds a basis of battery size and mileage to it.

    The reduction due to the coronavirus pandemic were also added to it and they were consequently adjusted. The impact of coronavirus on electric vehicles was thus nullified by the estimates.
