More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

You could do V2G through the DC port of the vehicle—this is what we are doing with school buses here in California, where our charging station converts AC to DC and then connects to the DC port of the vehicle to provide power. On the DC side, we are rolling out a charging station right now with Rhombus.

New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

Tropical peatlands cover more than 25 Mha in Southeast Asia and are estimated to contain around 70 Gt of carbon. The research team included members from the National University of Singapore; Stichting Deltares, The Netherlands; International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), Washington, DC; and the University of Leicester, UK.

Wireless vs. wired 

Electric Auto Association

With EVs now shipping across Asia with wireless charging installed, the availability of videos demonstrating the process ( Hyundai Genesis GV60 , FAW HongQi E-HS9, and our own WiTricity Halo™ wireless charging upgrades to come, “realness” isn’t really in question. It seems counterintuitive that space would not introduce inefficiency.

In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. This maximum phase current of the power electronics is limited in the e-up!

Solar-powered off-grid EV charging stations offer surprisingly attractive cost advantages

Charged EVs

EV ARCs can be deployed with Level 1, Level 2 or (using 4 or more units connected together) DC fast charging. We make products that happen to use renewable sources of energy as opposed to connecting to the grid for the primary source of energy. Q&A with Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley.
