The future's here, and it's shaping up to be a wild ride!

Hydrogen is all around us, but exactly how (and why) it ends up in a highly-pressurised form at a hydrogen fuelling station – which can be pumped into a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle’s (or FCEV’s) storage tank – is an interesting story: one which we explore here. The basic problem of ‘extracting’/isolating hydrogen Hydrogen is the … Read more
As we explored in my ‘How Hydrogen Cars Work?’ article, the traditional combustion engine in gasoline-powered cars is replaced by a fuel cell (or a group of fuel cells) which convert hydrogen into electrical power, with water as waste. Many people might also be aware that hydrogen is one of the most flammable gases around, … Read more
If you have looked around for information on electric car charging stations and plugs, you might have come across a range of different terms: level 1, level 2, type 1, type 2, level 3 and 4… CHAdeMO, CCS, Commando, GB/T, Combo 2, Combo 1… fast charge, slow charge, rapid charge, supercharge… confused? I was too! … Read more
Based on what various electric car makers have told us, and some rumours, we have written this guide which looks at all the exciting technology which is set to revolutionize EVs in the coming years. Brain-to-vehicle It sounds like something out of sci-fi, but increasing number of companies are looking at technology which can track … Read more
When looking at hybrid cars, you might have come across a range of different terms and acronyms used to describe them. Most of us know the basic idea behind a ‘hybrid’ car (aka one with a standard internal combustion engine, and also an electric battery which gets charged when the car is in operation), but … Read more
As I mentioned in my ‘How Exactly Do Electric Cars Work?’ article, many of us have grown up around gasoline-powered cars with an internal combustion engine, so we’re familiar with how they work. However how green cars work is sometimes seen as a mystery, especially hydrogen cars (because people will have used electric-powered devices many … Read more
You may know that Norway is an oil-rich country within the European continent. But did you know that as a percentage of its population, Norway has 4x the green car sales of California, and in March 2018, green cars accounted for 55.8% of all new registrations? And throughout Europe, over one million plug-in cars have … Read more
Since we have all grown up around gasoline-powered cars, the general way that they work (i.e. gasoline is burnt in an internal combustion engine, which provides the necessary power to drive the vehicle forward) is fairly well understood. However electric cars are much newer and less mainstream, and so we wanted to take an in-depth … Read more
As you’re no doubt aware, there’s multiple types of green car: traditional hybrids, EVs (electric cars), plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell cars. The technology (and infrastructure) powering green cars is progressing all the time, but are they a match financially for standard gasoline autos? This article will find out. Type of Car: Recap This … Read more
For the past few years, there’s been more and more rumours that some of the big tech firms are working on self-driving cars, which will predominantly be plug-in electrics. Some companies – such as Apple and Dyson – have only given limited information about their programmes. Others – like Google – are fairly open about … Read more
