Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

Additionally, the lower operating and maintenance costs of electric two-wheelers contribute to their appeal. Grid Capacity and Upgrades: Integrating a large number of electric vehicles into the existing power grid poses challenges, especially if the grid infrastructure requires significant upgrades.

And it means that, using state-of-the-art as well as traditional monitoring tools, major utilities are now capturing more than a million images of their grid infrastructure and the environment around it every year. That takes them away from their jobs of doing maintenance in the field. AI isn't just good for analyzing images.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, EVs produce no emissions during operation. This synergy allows cities to manage energy demand effectively, store renewable energy for later use, and optimize the grid.

As with most EVs, the cost of operating a gas-powered vehicle is simply higher than that of operating an electric one. This comes from expenses for fuel and maintenance, including routine and non-routine checks and upgrades. Such is the beauty of a vehicle with no combustion engine! Switching Costs.
