  • Update: California's Electric Vehicle Market
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING MAY 2017 Update: California’s electric vehicle market This briefing summarizes data on the development of the electric vehicle market in California through 2016. It quantifies electric vehicle market growth across California cities and metropolitan areas and provides U.S. market context. INTRODUCTION California has seen much faster uptake of electric vehicles than elsewhere in the U.S. and most places around the world. This briefing updates our assessment of the 2015 California market1 and quantifies key developments through 2016. It includes metropolitan area data and city-level data, providing greater resolution on markets where electric vehicle uptake is the highest. The paper analyzes uptake of battery- electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), excluding conventional gasoline-electric hybrids. It is important to understand that California accounts for almost half of the U.S. market for plug-in electric vehicles. California represents 12% of the U.S. population, 14% of the economy, and 12% of new light-duty vehicle sales. (See Table 1.) Electric vehicle sales in the state since 2011 totaled 269,000, about 48% of U.S electric vehicle purchases. Public vehicle charging infrastructure in California represents 31% of the U.S. infrastructure, including a quarter of the public direct-current fast charging. 1 Searle, S., Pavlenko, N., Lutsey, N.

  • Tesla Model S
    Model S Premium Electric Sedan An evolution in automobile engineering Tesla’s advanced electric powertrain delivers exhilarating performance. Unlike a gasoline internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts, Tesla electric motors have only one moving piece: the rotor. As a result, Model S acceleration is instantaneous, silent and smooth. Step on the accelerator and in as little as 3.1 seconds Model S is travelling 60 miles per hour, without hesitation, and without a drop of gasoline. Model S is an evolution in automobile engineering. All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor Dual Motor Model S is a categorical improvement on conventional all-wheel drive systems. With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Rear Wheel Drive Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions. Conventional all-wheel drive cars employ complex mechanical linkages to distribute power from a single engine to all four wheels. This sacrifices efficiency in favor of all weather traction. In contrast, each Model S motor is lighter, smaller and more efficient than its All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor rear wheel drive counterpart, providing both improved range and faster acceleration. All-wheel drive is standard on Model S 70D and available as an option on Model S 85. Model S Performance comes standard with All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor, pairing the high performance rear motor with a high efficiency front motor to achieve supercar acceleration, from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. Performance All-Wheel Drive Highest Safety Rating in America THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest car on the road, as proven by a 5-star rating in all categories of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test.

  • Makes & Models
    Makes & Models EV Buyers Guide Background image: Designed by senivpetro / Freepik Types of EV SUVs A Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is a type of automobile that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive. Those three ingredients: a high driving position, better performance in icy weather and plenty of space make SUVs particularly attractive to families. Practical / Small Family EVs The most popular car being bought today in the UK still tends to be the traditional family hatchback. A hatchback offers families (even those with dogs) just about everything they could need in a car by being spacious but not as big as SUVs, making them easier to manoeuvre and park. The original problems associated with electric cars (high prices, restricted performance at higher speeds and a limited driving range) have all been addressed, providing a very attractive solution for this market segment. Small/city EVs Electric power and small cars have always been a natural fi t. Their nippy acceleration is ideal in town, where shorter journeys mean that you don’t need to worry about recharging until you get home. Future Releases The electric car revolution has continued in earnest into the 2020s, with exciting new electric cars arriving every month. Prices are just about starting to come down to affordable levels, and range is going up making them more attractive to purchase over existing petrol/diesel counterparts. Here are a few exciting models that will be released over the next couple of years.

  • Tesla's Master Plan: Separating Fantasy from Reality
    July 26, 2016 Tesla's Master Plan: Separating Fantasy From Reality What's Happening: Tesla CEO Elon Musk released a new master plan for the growth of the company last Wednesday. Musk’s vision includes integrating SolarCity’s rooftop generation with the Telsa Powerwall; expanding the lineup of Tesla vehicles to include heavy duty trucks, busses, and pickups; and developing a full fleet of autonomous vehicles that can participate in the sharing economy. Why It Matters: Musk’s new master plan, like his 2006 original master plan, is bold and scant on details. It also envisions pushing both the technological and regulatory envelopes, and will depend on assistance from state and federal policy makers. In particular, most states’ current renewable policies make the combined distributed generation­battery technology Musk envisions economically infeasible. And while Musk may envision a future filled with electric vehicle ownership, charging infrastructure is a low­margin industry and stations remain relatively scarce on US highways, making a fleet of semi­trailers crisscrossing the country difficult to imagine without more policy incentives from the federal government. What's Next: Musk’s most difficult policy interaction will be dealing with uncertainty as federal regulators slowly develop a framework for autonomous vehicle technology. Notably, Musk avoided mention of his company’s current regulatory difficulties in the wake of a deadly crash involving one of its vehicles that was set to autopilot at the time of the accident. Earlier today, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released the preliminary results of an investigation into the accident, which found that the Tesla involved in the incident was going 74 mph in a 65 mph zone and using automatic steering technology at the time of the collision.

  • Tesla Motors, Inc.1
    1 TESLA MOTORS, INC. “Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy” 1. INTRODUCTION Tesla Motors is an automobile company based in the US, listed in the NASDAQ stock exchange (TSLA). Tesla is not just an average automaker but also a technology and design company strongly focused on energy innovation. Founded in 2003 by five California-based entrepreneurs, its current CEO is Elon Musk. At that point little did they know of the potential of this firm. In fact, their first car was not announced until 2006 and put out to the market until 2008. The Tesla Roadster was the first mass produced 100% electric vehicle (EV, from now on) legally available for purchase worldwide. Tesla’s headquarters is located in Palo Alto, California, where much if not all of its technological innovation is being made. As of October 2016 all of their cars are produced and assembled at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, CA, just 20 miles away from Mr. Musk’s office. Also notable is the Tesla Gigafactory, still under construction, a 2 million sq. ft. facility near Reno, NV, a joint- venture facility with Panasonic (a conglomerate company), which outputs most of the lithium-ion battery cells that power the cars. Around 6,000 people and 400 people are employed in both plants, respectively. Tesla currently offers three different cars (the Model X, the Model S and the Model 3, the latter still not available as of 2016) and a complementary service (Supercharging stations, where Tesla car owners car plug in their vehicle and enjoy a faster recharging time).
