Cargo Bikes: The Happiest Transportation Mode on Earth

How does a family of four – including a two-year-old and newborn baby – live (and get around the Bay) without owning a car?

A new study finds quantifies the subnational carbon emissions from electricity in each of India’s states, the limited effect of a carbon tax in India’s current power sector to reduce emissions, and underscores the importance technologies to reduce premature mortality from air pollution.  

The secret to long life for rechargeable batteries may lie in an embrace of difference. New modeling of how lithium-ion cells in a pack degrade show a way to tailor charging to each cell’s capacity so EV batteries can handle more charge cycles and stave off failure. (Source: Stanford News)
