The main cause is greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, primarily produced by fossil fuel engines. The engines are usually used in transportation and factories.

Such machines can be used in cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships, and planes. It promises a friendly environment and a better future for our Earth. However, making EVs a popular and first option for transportation models is a difficult mission. Recharging the batteries still takes a long time. The stations of recharge are li...

In this article, I will share my experience when communicating with professors from various universities in the US. I have communicated with a lot of professors from different universities, particularly from the list given by BPI. Their responses were varied, but all of them were good responses.
