Aircraft are regularly at the centre of controversy over climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. So it’s only natural that the aeronautics industry, like the car industry before it, should be thinking about electrification (except that you don’t fly a 40-tonne steel monster like you do a city car). At the heart of this relatively […]

If electromobility is now taking centre stage, it’s not just a passing fad, but one of the pillars of an ongoing global transition. Reducing emissions, energy independence, industrial recovery: there are many issues at stake, and the solutions offered by electric vehicles go far beyond a simple change of engine. So why electromobility? Let’s find […]

It’s a subject at the heart of every debate on the energy transition: the massive installation of charging points for electric vehicles. While the figures are quite good and growing steadily, another question arises: who is really driving this development? Companies, governments or both? As the energy transition gathers pace, the race to install charging […]

Summer holidays are approaching, and for more and more motorists, they’ll be at the wheel of an electric vehicle. While the driving comfort and silence of an electric car may be appealing, one question remains: how do you manage recharging on the road when you’re on holiday? On French motorways, particularly those in the VINCI […]

Often relegated to the bottom of the specification sheet, electric car motors are of crucial importance in terms of economy, performance and industrialisation. When we talk about electric cars, the first thing we talk about is range. Unlike the world of internal combustion vehicles, where cylinders are omnipresent and sometimes more famous than the cars […]

As France prepares to ban the sale of new combustion-powered cars from 2035, the electric car is gradually establishing itself as the mainstay of tomorrow’s mobility. By 2035, as announced by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, all new cars in France will be electric, because it will be forbidden to sell combustion-powered cars. In […]

Like the car industry, the motorbike industry needs to reinvent itself before 2035. Electric scooters and motorbikes are gradually making their way into our towns and cities, appealing as much to city dwellers concerned about their carbon footprint as to enthusiasts of new technologies. But before taking the plunge, consumers need to ask themselves a […]

Electrification is leading us to rethink the way we look at cars, not only in terms of fuel consumption, driving and technology, but also in terms of design. A car may still look like a car (for the time being), but there are increasingly significant differences between internal combustion engines and electric cars in this […]

As electric mobility gains ground, the question of recharging infrastructure becomes central. Recharging your vehicle should no longer be a constraint, but a formality, accessible throughout the country. France currently has more than 163,000 charging points open to the public, spread across all its regions. Behind this figure lies a genuine transition effort, led by […]

With more than 30,000 registrations in 2024, France will account for almost 50% of licence-free car sales in the European market. Long marginalised, these no-licence cars (VSPs) are enjoying a second lease of life in France, thanks in particular to electrification and modern communication aimed at attracting (very) young drivers – from the age of […]

In the face of the climate emergency and the need to decarbonise mobility, France is speeding up the transition to cleaner public transport. From one end of the country to the other, from metropolises to rural areas, projects are accelerating in favour of electric transport. An overview of a major transformation. Île-de-France on the front […]

During the DriveToZero trade show at Porte de Versailles on 4 and 5 June, ECO MOTORS NEWS had the opportunity to meet Robert von Wahl, EV Charging Europe Director at Sungrow, one of the world leaders in renewable energies, which decided ten years ago to put its expertise at the service of electric vehicle charging. […]

There are countless electric cars on the road, electric charging points and adverts promoting ‘cleaner’ mobility. Electromobility is no longer an emerging trend; it has become an everyday reality that is established throughout the world. But behind this term with its technical meaning lies a real upheaval. Electromobility isn’t just about replacing an internal combustion […]

Long confined to the margins of electromobility, electric retrofitting, which refers to the electrification of internal combustion vehicles, is attracting more and more private individuals and professionals. Arnaud Pigounides, founder of Retrofuture and a pioneer of the sector in France, talks to ECO MOTORS NEWS about the technical, economic and regulatory challenges that lie behind […]

Within the electromobility ecosystem, China is the biggest manufacturer, the biggest seller and the biggest market, thanks in particular to its manufacturers – led by BYD, which could rapidly become the world’s leading manufacturer ofelectric vehicles – whose models are gradually arriving on the Old Continent, particularly in France. So here are five Chinese electric […]

Over the last few years, the term electromobility has become part of our conversations, in the media, but also – and above all – on our roads. But what exactly does it mean? In addition to the electric cars we see on the road more and more, electromobility refers to a profound change in the […]

Quiet and clean, electric boats are undoubtedly the future of pleasure boating. But while they embody a new way of sailing, there are still a number of obstacles to their widespread development. According to studies by Data Bridge Market Research and Mordor Intelligence, the global market for electric boats is set to grow by 11.2% […]

Electric cars, charging points, state-of-the-art batteries:electromobility is everywhere. But not all countries are moving at the same pace: which are the most committed to this revolution? Between industrial strategies, public policies and technological innovations, the battle for electromobility is being fought on a global scale. China, the locomotive of electromobility It’s hard to compete with […]
