New technologies are already in place to solve the issue of exploding and burning batteries. Unfortunately, many people are very quick to condemn electric vehicles on the basis that they are unsafe from the accounts of burning batteries. We hear cries of “I would never change my ICE for an EV because they burn”. Those people are never happy unless they can find a reason to condemn EVs, regardless of the reasons, true or false. the Burning Batteries Myth will pass into history Yes, some EVs have burst into flames, but put it into context. There are more vehicles of all types on the road now th ..read more

Maintaining Your Green Machine: Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity due to their eco-friendly nature and efficient operation. One of the key advantages of electric cars is the reduced need for traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) maintenance. Instead of oil changes and exhaust system repairs, EV owners have a different set of service requirements to keep their green machines running smoothly. In this blog post, we will outline a service routine for electric cars, highlighting the minimal maintenance involved and addressing any service needs related to range exten ..read more

Differences: the automotive industry has undergone a significant transformation in recent years with the emergence of various types of electric vehicles (EVs). Three popular categories that have gained prominence are hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles (EVs), and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs). Each of these categories has distinct characteristics and benefits, catering to different preferences and driving needs. 1. Hybrid Vehicles (HEVs) Powertrain: Hybrid vehicles are equipped with both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor. These two power sources work in t ..read more

Unleashing the Potential of Electric Vehicles with Range Extenders Electric vehicles (EVs) have made remarkable strides in recent years, with improved battery technology and charging infrastructure making them more accessible and practical for everyday use. However, one of the persistent challenges for EVs has been range anxiety, the fear of running out of battery power before reaching a charging station. To address this concern, some electric vehicles are now incorporating range-extenders, a technological innovation that promises to further boost the appeal of EVs. What are Range Extenders? R ..read more

This review is of the Gaia Mini SUV, sold under various model names by Gaia New Energy Shandong. I should first emphasise that the car was ordered directly from Gaia – not an agent – to open a dealership, which would be the first and only dealership for affordable electric cars in my country, we decided to order a Gaia Solar New Energy Mini SUV model G-Benz as a demonstrator, and show car. We had a long chat with Gaia on WhatsApp which resulted in an agreement to sell their cars in our country and the requirements were discussed at length. Gaia had two versions of the GBZ-X8. One was 2 years ..read more

Let’s look at fossil fuel cars (petrol – diesel) and electric cars for comparison purposes. What is the technical difference? Well first, with an ICE (internal combustion engine) we have around 200 components to make an engine. Did you know there are approximately 800 parts in a gearbox (transmission) that means we have around 1000 parts in total which can go wrong. Electric cars have full power from a standstill to full speed. They don’t need a gearbox. It can be seen from the image above that an electric car is simplicity itself. It is impossible to stall an electric car and there are only ..read more

Debunking the “Worthless” Myth of EV depreciation In the rapidly evolving world of automotive technology, EV depreciation has become a worry. Electric cars have become a prominent player, offering sustainable and efficient alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Yet, as with any new technology, concerns and misconceptions can arise. One prevalent worry among prospective electric car buyers is the notion that once their car batteries wear out, their vehicles will become worthless. Fortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In this article, we’ll explore why this con ..read more

The latest developments in EV batteries are Silicon, Sodium and solid-state. The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is charging (pardon the pun) ahead at an unprecedented pace, driven by the pursuit of cleaner, more sustainable transportation options. Three groundbreaking technologies—Silicon batteries, sodium batteries and solid-state batteries—are emerging as potential game-changers in the world of EVs. Let’s explore the exciting developments surrounding these innovations and how they could reshape the future of automotive electrification. The New Kid On The Block: The Latest EV Battery Develo ..read more
