Quick Glance: New Global Record: Electric and Hybrid Car Sales Surge in 2024
  • Electric and plug-in hybrid car sales will reach a new global record in 2024 despite slowing growth in some markets, according to forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

  • The IEA predicted that 17 million battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will be sold in 2024, up over 20% from 2023.

  • The IEA also mentioned that most electric cars are expected to be priced equivalently to petrol cars by 2030 as prices decrease. Tesla recently reduced prices to maintain its market share against strong competition from Chinese rivals like BYD, the world's largest battery electric car producer.

Quick Glance: Daimler Trucks' E-Lkw Charges with 1000 Kilowatts: Success in Fast Charging Technology
  • Daimler Trucks has made a significant advancement with the development of Megawatt charging technology for long-haul trucks.

  • The technology is expected to be produced in series, allowing customers to retrofit their vehicles with the MCS technology later on.

  • The efficiency of charging E-trucks is being driven by the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) to enable short charging times with long-range capabilities.

  • Despite progress in electrifying long-haul transportation, the necessary infrastructure for widespread use of Megawatt charging is still lacking.
