A new proposal aims to take hydrogen fuel cells from land to the ocean, using massive fuel-cell systems to power ships. Swiss firm ABB has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hydrogène de France (HDF) to develop a "megawatt-scale" power source for large vessels. The maritime system will be based on a stationary power plant developed... Megawatt-scale fuel-cell agreement could bring large hydrogen-powered ships

Charging infrastructure for commercial trucks could use some help in Europe. A teardown reveals the Model Y’s heat pump and some other engineering differences. And we have some advice on making your battery last. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Hyundai has distilled advice on how to make your electric vehicle battery last longer... 
The Model Y crossover, which started arriving last month, represents a turnaround in one strategy for Tesla: It has a heat pump. Heat pumps, and other thermal methods for moving waste heat or scavenged heat, are part of strategies to reduce the load on the resistive heating that most EVs also have. While heat pumps can greatly cut energy use on... 
Electric commercial trucks are getting more attention, with Tesla and more established truck makers like Volvo and Daimler unveiling electric models. But, in Europe at least, charging infrastructure for these vehicles is underdeveloped, according to a new report. A "massive ramp-up" in charging infrastructure is needed to meet European CO2... 
Electric cars require much less maintenance than internal-combustion vehicles, but owners still need to be aware of certain maintenance practices. This video from Hyundai offers five tips for maximizing battery life. The first tip is to try to keep the battery from discharging to low levels, specifically below 20% capacity. That goes hand in hand... ![Tesla Model 3 dashboard in Autopilot testing with IIHS [CREDIT: IIHS]](https://images.hgmsites.net/tmb/tesla-model-s-dashboard-in-autopilot-testing-with-iihs-credit-iihs_100665437_t.gif)
Tesla might give more owners access to Autopilot as an upgrade. Mercedes is working on a challenger for the Model S Plaid. And how about a solar driveway? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. At least one company is now enabling solar driveways, via paver tiles, and says that a connected solar driveway together with energy storage might power...
