Shifting Gears: Africa's EV Market Revs up for Rapid Expansion
It is not uncommon to hear motor mechanics in Zimbabwe saying, "I don't do hybrids or electric cars." This means that they do not repair hybrid cars or electric vehicles. Finding spares or servicing a hybrid or electric vehicle in the country remains one of the biggest challenges. However, many people in Zimbabwe are now slowly embracing hybrid cars, particularly small compact vehicles like the Toyota Aqua, Toyota Prius, and Honda Fit, as well as subcompact crossover SUVs lik


Chile's Bet on Green Hydrogen
With the ambitious goal of becoming a world leader in green hydrogen and the renewable resources to achieve it, Chile's push for green hydrogen is poised for growth in the coming decade. Policies in The National Green Hydrogen Strategy and the Green Hydrogen Action Plan demonstrate the country's commitment to a reduction in green hydrogen cost as they aim to make it the cheapest in the world.


In Climate-Stressed Malawi, Chinese Battery Energy Storage Kits Protect Households
The worst climate drought in 50 years hammered the entire southern Africa region of countries Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe throughout 2024. The heat dried up crucial riverways and dams that complement thermal coal power stations to produce electricity for millions of homes, factories, and schools.Â
But in good and bad times, Malawi, like most African nations, faces a series of dilemmas. It doesn't matter much whether they produce lots of clean solar,


EV-Wheelers fill Gaps in Uber-less Rural Tanzania
Shoza and a dozen women in her drivers' club work from Kagera Centre in Kagera, which is one of Tanzania's poorest rural administrative regions. They drive around, operating Chinese-made but locally improvised EV three-wheelers that transport everything from packets of noodles to pregnant mothers and medicines across rural Tanzania.Â


Thailand's EV Revolution
Electric vehicles (EVs) offer more than just a sleek, modern ride as they begin to replace traditional combustion engines on Thailand’s roads. This shift signals a powerful response to the country’s air pollution crisis, a bold step toward lowering carbon emissions, while encouraging technological innovation across Southeast Asia. From electric tuk-tuks weaving through traffic-choked alleys to cutting-edge factories churning out battery-powered exports, Thailand's embrace of


Is the EU's Green Hydrogen Drive in Africa another Exploitative Pipe Dream?
On paper, Africa is poised to become a key supplier of green hydrogen, and the EU wants in on the continent's repository of this decarbonization fuel early. Of the 52 countries across Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, and Namibia have moved fast to organize themselves into a grouping called the Africa Green Hydrogen Alliance.Â


From Labs to Leaders: Innovation Hubs are Reshaping U.S. Battery Manufacturing
Battery innovation centers and accelerators offer a powerful blueprint for America to build leadership in the evolving global energy market. By blending research, manufacturing, and workforce development under one roof, they help transform bright ideas into scalable, sustainable solutions. If the nation continues to invest in these hubs — and ensures their lessons spread nationwide — the U.S. can build a battery ecosystem that is not only competitive but resilient.


The Gulf's Energy Transition- 2025 Review: Part 3
Sulfur is traditionally viewed as a low-value byproduct of oil refining and is largely stockpiled or exported for fertilizer production. However, this element is increasingly being considered as a key enabler for next-generation batteries. With some of the world's largest sulfur reserves and production volumes, the Gulf is uniquely positioned to turn this underutilized resource into a strategic advantage.Â


Giving EVs in Argentina a Jump
There is plenty to be optimistic about and reasons for concern regarding the EV market in Argentina. Lessons from Mexico and Brazil, access to raw materials, and encouraging imports may transition the current automotive industry into EV production. However, in order for this to occur, the government must create a comprehensive EV approach and start to build the infrastructure that the industry will require.


The Race for Long-Duration Energy Storage
It is difficult to overstate the importance of long-duration energy storage in the transition to a green economy, and both countries and industries would be well served by investing in these technologies.


Small Inventors Lead the Charge on EVs in Argentina
The lithium-rich country faces a range of challenges in its ambitions to develop batteries and electric vehicles at home, but researchers have continued to drive innovation.


Multifamily Housing Needs EV Charging. This startup will pay for it.
3V Infrastructure is self-financing EV charging at multifamily properties, betting that the rewards of selling at-home charging at scale are worth the up-front risk.
