EV Adoption

MAY 15, 2022

If we didn’t have enough hurdles to electric vehicle adoption in the US, one of the challenges that drives me absolutely bonkers is the confusing and inconsistent use of charging terminology. To scale up EV adoption we need to increase consumer awareness and understanding of the “electric refueling” process. But nobody else cares. .

But as the Times points out, the government is NOT forcing the fleet to become all electric: The E.P.A. It does not mandate the sales of electric vehicles, and gas-powered cars and trucks could still be sold. The future is electric,” he said. The Biden administration and EPA are NOT BANNING NON-ELECTRIC CARS.

The NO x concentration in the exhaust of an automotive gasoline engine with spark ignition can be as high as 4000 ppm. Since hydrocarbons (HCs) are usually formed in automotive gasoline engines owing to cylinder wall quenching and other effects, HCs must be treated in an exhaust after-treatment system.

Upcoming electric passenger vehicles and light trucks from GM get most of the attention, but its new commercial EV brand is a quiet and very serious push too. Many US drivers now have a vague idea that General Motors is doing something with electric vehicles. The company has committed $800 million to that conversion.

EPFL scientists have devised a solution for the reversible conversion of hydrogen gas into formic acid (a liquid) for easier storage and transport. The first reaction transforms hydrogen into formic acid, a liquid that is easy to store and less flammable than gasoline, while the second reaction does the reverse and restores the hydrogen.
