Mercedes-Benz has revealed some very encouraging efficiency news for its upcoming eSprinter electric vans, set to be built in South Carolina later in 2023—and for the carbon footprint of the companies they’ll be serving. The automaker recently conducted a real-life cargo-delivery-van range and efficiency run with the eSprinter, and it achieved a 295-mile trip from
The development of local battery supply chains is a high priority in both North America and Europe, but as an infographic from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence demonstrates, removing China from the equation will be a difficult task, as the country currently dominates the processing of battery minerals. Most of the world’s lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese
S&P Global Mobility released new EV sale data that shows Tesla still owns the US EV market, but it is losing market share. But when you had close to 100% of the market, there’s only one way to go, and that’s down. For years now, Tesla has dominated the electric auto market in its home

Whether from normal wear and tear, a slow leak, or sudden puncture, all tires eventually need replacing. What replacement tires you buy is an important decision for any car, but it’s so much more so for electric vehicles. Where the rubber meets the road has a huge impact on an EV’s performance, particularly its range.
