Speaking to German newspaper Bild, Manfred Weber, president of the EPP, said a 90 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions will be mandatory for carmaker fleet targets, not 100 per cent.

Dangelo, Saugus Gina, do you happen to have a newer ride than your parents? Generally, the California Legislature does not require gas-powered cars and trucks that are eight years old or younger, are purchased here in the Golden State, with its restrictive requirements on manufacturers, and have remained with the original owner to get smog checks every other year.

That Smog Abatement Fee they must pay is typically $20 or $25 annually, depending on the vehicle's age. The revenue is used to…...

53+ min ago (246+ words) Vehicle use patterns further modulate outcomes. Variations in daily driving distances, frequency of trips, and typical charging behavior shape the battery's availability to provide energy back to the home during peak periods. This means V2H benefits are not uniform but tailored, increasing in regions and demographics where battery discharge for home electricity can be maximally leveraged. This conceptual shift opens avenues not just for cost savings and emissions reductions but also for enhancing grid stability and resilience, especially as renewable energy penetration accelerates. It also aligns with emerging trends in energy policy aimed at decentralization, distributed generation, and consumer empowerment through advanced metering and smart home technologies. As the nation grapples with balancing energy transition goals and economic feasibility, this research signals a clear path forward. It unambiguously demonstrates that the future of electric vehicles hinges not solely on battery innovation…...
