Regenerative braking is one of the most distinctive features of electric and hybrid vehicles, changing not only how they operate but also how they feel to drive. In a conventional petrol or diesel vehicle, braking relies solely on friction. Pressing the brake pedal...

This year, UK roads are set for some of the most significant changes in recent years, with new rules, taxes, and standards affecting almost every type of driver. The shift towards cleaner transport will be accelerated by the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate which since...

As the climate grows warmer and heatwaves become more prevalent, it is increasingly important for motorists to adjust their habits to ensure safe and comfortable travel during hot weather. High temperatures can create challenges so a degree of preparation and...

As electric vehicles (EVs) become an increasingly familiar sight on our roads, concerns have naturally surfaced over the risks of battery fires. Images of fierce blazes and reports of cars reigniting days or even weeks later might understandably unsettle drivers...

Electric vehicle battery swapping promises to do what even the fastest chargers still take half an hour or more to achieve - to fully recharge a car without delay. By removing a depleted battery and replacing it with a fully charged one, swapping stations could...

At the heart of an electric vehicle is a crucial component - the battery. Although it looks like a single unit under the floor of most electric cars, it’s actually a carefully engineered pack containing hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individual battery cells all...

Wind power is rapidly becoming one of the most important sources of clean energy, helping to reduce carbon emissions, lower energy bills, and strengthen energy independence. Across Europe, wind energy has grown from a niche technology into a major player in the...

The future of car technology is set to transform how we drive and what we expect from cars. Progress is being made with solid-state batteries which offer higher energy density, faster charging times, and greater safety. In practical terms, it means electric cars could...

Hydrogen fuel cell cars are emerging as a potential alternative to both battery-electric and internal combustion vehicles, providing the advantages of quick refuelling, long-range capabilities, and zero emissions. Unlike conventional electric vehicles that rely on...

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) charging is set to become a significant part of the future energy ecosystem in a world where electric vehicles (EVs) are more than modes of transport - they are mobile power stations, able to transform how we use, store, and manage electricity at...
