This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services Electric vehicles (EVs) are key players in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. As they gain mass market adoption, new data is beginning to show measurable health improvements from reduced air pollution levels. Right now, electrical demand from EVs is only about 1% of global electrical demand — about 130 TWh — but that number is growing. By 2025, the U.S. will need close to 700,000 Level 2 and 70,000 Level 3 chargers to m...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services EV battery plants must lower their CO2 emissions to meet green ambitions The automotive industry is a major contributor to the global GHG emissions crisis. Electric vehicle adoption has been swiftly accelerating as a solution for reducing road transportation’s carbon footprint. However, while EVs may be a form of green mobility, EV battery plants (EVBP) still need to significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. EV battery manufacturing...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services What is the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)? The European Union aims to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050. To meet this goal, electric vehicle adoption will need to grow significantly. The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), a cornerstone of the EU’s Fit for 55 package, plays an important role in supporting EV adoption by ensuring there is a comprehensive charging...

Ports’ increased digitalization and interconnectedness can contribute to cybersecurity risks Ports have accelerated their pace of digitalization. They are leveraging technology to improve efficiency and logistics, achieve port sustainability goals, and streamline processes. For instance, ports are adopting connected technology, automating equipment and processes, enabling remote access and control, and connecting OT and IT networks. These changes have intensified the need to prioritize cyberse...

We all saw images this summer of climate change in action. Hurricanes and wildfires in the U.S., flooding in China and Germany, and crop-destroying droughts in Kenya composed a grim tableau. We can count on even more extreme and frequent weather events until we get serious about cutting carbon emissions. One unmistakable remedy at hand is eMobility—the mass-scale electrification of road transportation, a sector that accounts for 24% of global CO2. A full transition to electric vehicles (...

Transportation Diesel bus emissions pose environmental and health risks The transportation industry is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. That’s predicted to get even worse over the 30 years. Diesel buses, the most widely used form of public transportation, are a major offender. These heavy polluters are responsible for 25 percent of the black carbon emitted by the transportation sector, which is harmful to both people a...

CES 2022 will showcase the 2022 and beyond innovations that will dictate the future of human-technology advancements CES is back for 2022, and I am looking forward to seeing the latest and greatest technology innovations on display amongst the thousands of brands and innovators taking part after a year of great turbulence, but also impressive work – particularly in the area of health tech. This sector in particular, has seen brilliant, forward-thinking ideas spurred on by the pandemic, a...

Automotive and Mobility In my interview with TotallyEV, I shared my thoughts on how electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures enable digital transformation and drive sustainable outcomes. Let’s consider these global EV trends: This is what the future of net-zero transportation looks like Today, it is already a reality in Norway, with roughly 98% of its electricity being renewable, with the share of plug-in cars reaching 84.6% – something t...

Automotive and Mobility The new edition of the international standard for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment (EVCE), IEC 61851-1, has finally arrived in Europe. Starting from February 3rd, 2022, all the EV chargers sold in Europe (28 EU countries, plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey) must be compliant with this standard. So, the answer to the question on the title of this blog is simple: it is mandatory for everyone in Eur...
