Tuesday 30th January 2018.

Congratulations to Mitsubishi which has passed 100,000 sales of their Outlander in Europe, that’s 10% of their sales coming from the popular PHEV. Most are seen in Great Britain and Netherlands.

Volvo say their first pure electric car will come in 2019, a coupe-like hatchback built on their Compact Modular Architecture, with impressive range.

First review of the Range Rover PHEV, the first plug in from Jaguar Land Rover.  With 31 all-electric miles from the battery it’s looking like a popular choice for those who want silent luxury.

Germany is in good shape to welcome electric cars, even if 40% of the vehicle stock were an EV by 2035, a new report reveals that the grid would  be fine thanks to renewables.

An energy company in Colorado find that replacing coal power generation with renewables is the cost effective option.

And finally, the Top 5 wireless charging myths debunked by WiTricity on Cleantechnica.
