How Safe Is an Electric Vehicle in Practice
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common, while some wonder about their safety. Are electric vehicles crashworthy? And what about the fire risk in the batteries?
Multiple independent tests show that electric vehicles are at least as crashworthy as combustion engine vehicles. And when it comes to fire safety, electric vehicles actually perform better than gasoline and diesel vehicles…
We Debunk 12 Myths About Electric Vehicle Batteries
Despite the growing interest in electric vehicles, a myriad of myths and misconceptions continue to exist regarding their central component – the battery. These myths can create confusion among potential electric vehicle buyers but also pose challenges for sales departments responsible for delivering accurate information to customers.
In this guide, we therefore set out on a journey to debunk these myths and illuminate the true nature and capacity of electric vehicle batteries…
How an Electric Vehicle Battery Works – Differences in Performance Between Different Battery Types
Today, new electric vehicles are equipped with different types of lithium batteries depending on their purpose. Price, quality, and range are three important factors in the choice of battery technology.
We explain how LFP batteries are affected by long-term use, charging, and storage, as well as the differences compared to NMC and NCA batteries…
How Environmentally Friendly Is the Electric Vehicle Really?
There are currently divided opinions regarding the electric vehicle’s impact on the environment. A large part of the debate concerns the batteries’ significant climate footprint, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, use, and recycling. Despite this, it has recently been established that the electric vehicle’s total emissions, viewed from the entire life cycle, are lower than those of combustion engine vehicles.
Sweden has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transport by 70 percent by 2030, compared to what the country emitted in 2010…

“I Believe We Will Soon See Different Customer Segments for Electric Vehicles”
In 2022, plug-in vehicles surpassed fossil fuel cars in new car sales for the first time. But for electric vehicles to succeed broadly, lower prices, shorter charging times, and longer range are primarily required. Now, researchers from Uppsala University and Chalmers explain what we can expect in this area in the near future.
Electric vehicles such as plug-in hybrids and electric cars have increased steadily in new car sales in recent years; nevertheless, there is still some way to go before the vast majority choose an electric alternative…
