Can EV Enthusiasm Trigger Global Growth?
Consumer adoption of EVs has gathered momentum this year, spurred by higher global oil prices. The Russia-Ukraine war has made EVs suddenly more appealing to many car buyers, accelerating adoption globally. The higher oil prices are driving EVs closer to cost parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. In Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s most recent Electric Vehicles Outlook 2022 report, it projected EV sales to hit 20.6 million units by 2025.
On Tesla’s most recent earnings call, Elon Musk admitted, “We do not have a demand problem but a production problem.” Other car manufacturers such as Ford, for instance, says it can build its F150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach E fast enough to keep up with demand

Cummins Jumps On New Energy Storage Iron Salt Formula
Cummins $24 million stake in the startup VoltStorage gives them a foot in the door with new iron redox flow technology. There is nothing wrong with lithium-ion energy storage but global demand for energy storage has nowhere to go but up, and so are lithium prices. While lithium is relatively abundant in the ground, but current supply is falling behind demand. At the same time, lithium extraction is messy and has significant environmental impact, causing local opposition to new mines and other facilities…

Personal Watercraft Production Grows

Michael Aistrup Summary.Technological advancements in the PWC (Personal Watercraft) market have led to the introduction of quieter and cleaner PWCs. PWC manufacturers have also focused their designs on today’s consumer base–families–by continuing to manufacture more of three person models which offer state-of-art features and functions.
The PWCmarket will continue to grow over the forecast period based on an increase in leisure spending and increasing demand of PWC for utilization in sports.
Personal watercraft, also known as a jet ski, is a watercraft having a hull that is driven by an internal water jet pump engine. The PWC is designed in such a way that it does not hold water if it capsizes. PWCs are fast and have the ability to rapidly change direction. PWCs are controlled by a driver who either stands or sits on the watercraft. It is a popular choice for sports and recreational activities.
Initially, PWCs were equipped with a two-stroke engine, but with changing technology, PWCs are now powered with state-of-the-art four stroke engines.
