1+ hour, 28+ min ago (405+ words) Police officers are set to benefit from an expansion of transport options, with the likelihood of transitioning to electric vehicles soon, as part of a raft of new government reforms. President William Ruto announced this on Tuesday, 2 December, during the presentation of the Jukwaa la Usalama report at State House, Nairobi, where he addressed long-standing complaints from officers about fuel shortages that have hindered police operations. According to Ruto, the government will purchase 3,000 police vehicles to improve efficiency, up from the planned 1,200 units. "We currently have a budget for 1,200 vehicles, but we aim to buy 3,000 police vehicles to improve mobility," the President announced. "We will also determine how the cars are always fuelled so officers can carry out their duties without interruption." Officers have previously raised concerns over the reliance on petrol-powered vehicles despite the initial success of the Motor…...

2+ hour, 13+ min ago (454+ words) Nearly 20,000 new cars hit the roads in Norway in November, and 97.6 per cent of them were battery electric vehicles (EVs), driven in part by a strong performance from American manufacturer Tesla, which claimed on its own a 31.2 per cent share of the market. However, Norway is about the only bright spot for Tesla in Europe at the moment, with registrations plunging across key markets compared to a year earlier. While its overall numbers pale in comparison to some of the larger European countries, Norway is nevertheless leading the way for EV adoption in Europe. With a population of only 5.6 million, month after month Norway still manages to post new car sales that are dominated by EVs. New data published on Monday by the Opplysningsr'det for Veitrafikken (OFV), Norway's Road Information Traffic Information Council, confirmed this ongoing trend, with 19,899 new passenger…...

2+ hour, 21+ min ago (314+ words) A battery layer could make electric cars go farther, charge safer, and last longer, showing the power of lithium metal batteries. Batteries That Last Longer And Charge Safer A battery layer could make electric cars go farther, charge safer, and last longer, showing the power of lithium metal batteries. Lithium metal batteries can store about 1.5 times more energy than current lithium ion batteries, potentially increasing electric vehicle range from 400 km to around 700 km per charge. But safety concerns have limited their adoption. During charging, lithium can deposit unevenly on the anode, forming sharp, tree-like dendrites. These needles can pierce the separator between electrodes, causing short circuits, fires, or explosions. To address this, researchers from POSTECH, Gyeongsang National University, and the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) developed an ultra thin, engineered separator that stabilizes both the anode and cathode. Fluorine…...

3+ hour, 34+ min ago (271+ words) Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, the first-ever electric SUV from the car manufacturer is launching today. Suzuki is already selling the made-in-India e Vitara SUV in he global market. However, despite being the biggest carmaker in India, Maruti Suzuki has not launched the EV here so far, which resulted in the company losing the advantage of grabbing the market at early stage, a leverage Tata Motors has. Better late than never, Maruti Suzuki has decided to launch the e Vitara in India finally. Showcased first time as the eVX concept, the e Vitara retains a significant chunk of the original design. Being an electric car, the e Vitara gets a whole lot of features as well, which are not only increased the upmarket appeal of the SUV, but increase the comfort and convenience quotient as well.

8+ hour, 40+ min ago (366+ words) Electric vehicle drivers could make a pricey error, car experts have warned. If you're thinking about leaving your car in an electric vehicle charging bay without plugging it in, you could land a fine. Growing numbers of drivers are being fined for blocking charge points. Neil Hutchinson from car servicing company, Mercury Car Centre, says many drivers still misunderstand the rules around EV bays, and it's costing them. Neil says: "A lot of people still see EV charging bays as convenient parking spots, especially in supermarkets and retail car parks. But these spaces are there for one purpose, charging, and parking in one without plugging in can lead to fines." In recent months councils and private car park operators have stepped up enforcement. Drivers caught misusing an EV bay can face Penalty Charge Notices of around "70, or private Parking Charge…...

8+ hour, 45+ min ago (539+ words) A remote stretch of land straddling the Nevada'Oregon border may be far more significant than it appears. According to new geological research, the McDermitt caldera'an expansive ancient volcanic crater'could contain between 20 and 40 million metric tons of lithium, putting it among the largest known lithium deposits on the planet. The McDermitt caldera stretches approximately 28 miles from north to south and 22 miles from east to west. This enormous basin formed about 16 million years ago, when a powerful volcanic eruption emptied part of the underground magma chamber. As the chamber collapsed, it left behind a vast crater that gradually filled with layers of volcanic ash and sediment. Long after the eruption ended, the magma beneath the caldera continued releasing hydrothermal fluids'hot, mineral-laden water that moved through underground fractures. These fluids dissolved lithium from volcanic glass deep below the surface and transported it upward…...

10+ hour, 13+ min ago (198+ words) India's electric car push hit a setback as the government told Parliament it received no applications for its EV manufacturing scheme, with automakers citing FTA talks, DVA rules and investment timelines as barriers. The government has not received any applications for the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing Electric Cars in India, the Ministry of Heavy Industries informed Parliament, according to sources.The application window closed in October 2025, and so far no automaker has applied The scheme, designed to boost domestic electric car production, will remain in effect for five years.Original equipment manufacturers have told the government that their decision to participate depends on the progress of India-EU free trade agreement negotiations, sources said.OEMs also indicated that restrictions on rare earth magnets could affect meeting the scheme's domestic value addition targets They further noted that threshold investment requirements and…...
