Electric vehicles, or EVs, have long been seen as a viable eco-friendly alternative to traditional cars that require gasoline. However, as with all new technologies, development is still needed to make affordable EVs a reality.

What does our energy mix look like today? What countries have the 'cleanest' energy mix? And are we making progress in shifting towards a low-carbon energy system? This article focuses on the breakdown of energy sources: how they vary across the world and how this is changing over time.

Electric vehicles use half the energy of gas-powered vehicles. They’re just much more efficient.

A robust industry has evolved to take care of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that have reached the end of their lifecycles. Many parts can be reused to repair vehicles still on the road, and what can’t be reused is often recycled. Glass, rubber, and metal are all harvested from scrapped vehicles and resold to manufacturers for use in other products—often new vehicles.

China has 8% of the global lithium reserves and 72% of the world’s refining capacity as of 2022. China, either by domestic mining or acquiring stakes in mining companies globally, controls 41% of the world’s cobalt and most of the mining of lithium. Approximately 67% of global lithium supply is processed by China, along with 73% of cobalt, 70% of graphite and 95% of manganese, all critical minerals for green technologies.

LFP is an emerging favorite in the expanding EV market, particularly in standard-range EVs. Factors driving this popularity include superior safety, longevity, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.

Longtime Tesla construction observer Joe Tegtmeyer shared photos of Tesla’s forthcoming lithium plant near Corpus Christi, Texas, on Monday. The photos, as posted on X, show the foundations of what will eventually be Production Line 1, with other superstructure work and the beginnings of construction on Production Line 2, as Tegtmeyer explains.

China Approves 11 New Nuclear Reactors, Including Fourth-Generation Design

Our grid is long overdue for investment and upgrades. Begun in the early 1900’s when the power system consisted of large, isolated power plants, our current grid is ill-equipped to serve smaller, innovative solar or wind facilities. The majority of the existing system was built more than 30 years ago and has only received incremental investment since.
