Charge Cybertruck, Canoo Army truck, EPA support biofuel-powered electric vehicles: Car News Today
The EPA will give credit for electricity generated with biofuels, but it’s still in the ethanol category. Megawatt hardware change is coming to Cybertruck. And Canoo provides an electric truck for the Army. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
Tesla confirmed megawatt charging technology for Cybertruck and Semi. It involved a new, specially cooled cable but built on the existing Tesla connector (now named NACS) instead of switching to the Megawatt Charging Standard (MCS) connector associated with the CCS.
The EPA on Thursday released the proposal Target of renewable fuel standards for the period of 2023-2025, which calls for the enhancement of most biofuels and allows for the first time biomethane—interchangeable with natural gas—to generate electricity used to charge electric vehicles. But will it accelerate EV adoption or delay it? Those who usually side with each other on the tram seem polarized about the possible outcomes.
Startup Canoo has provided a prototype electric light tactical vehicle to the United States Army. That meets the July contract, and while it’s only one vehicle, it will determine if the Army commits to ordering production versions of the electric truck, which is also bound to Walmart’s fleet of trucks in the form of trucks, as a delivery vehicle.
And if you’re shopping for a new electric car this weekend, you’ll have a slightly better chance of getting a slightly better deal on some Tesla models. The automaker is offering a $3,750 off Model 3 and Model Yin some cases, through December. That happens to be equal to the amount many of those models are expected to qualify for starting January 1, under the tax credit. Modified EVs.
