Will 2020 be the Year of the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Car?

January 2, 2020 by Vicky Parrott

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are seen as a major element in car makers’ need to bring down fleet CO2 emissions. So, you might be surprised to hear that sales of such vehicles were down by around 20% last year compared with 2018.

Used Electric Car Batteries: What happens to them and can they be recycled?

December 17, 2019 by Vicky Parrott

Almost 33,000 pure electric cars were sold between January and December 2019. That doesn’t sound like much, but it’s an increase of 136% on the same period in 2018, and the number of battery cars – pure electric, plug-in hybrid and full hybrid alike – looks set to continue the rapid rise.

But it’s not just modern car design that’s benefitting from electric power – there’s now also a growing number of classic cars being converted to electric running. In doing so, models that might otherwise be considered as four-wheeled history are being given a whole new lease of life.

Is Nissan’s Electric Ice Cream Van the Perfect Battery-Powered Vehicle?

June 20, 2019 by Chris Knapman

How about this for a cool idea? Nissan’s latest concept vehicle is an electric ice cream van without the ICE – that’s Internal Combustion Engine.

The theory behind the project is to provide an alternative to traditional diesel-engined ice cream vans, which often need to be left idling in order to operate their refrigeration equipment, thus having a detrimental impact on local air quality.
