The composition of the biodiesel itself uses the average shares of rapeseed oil (48%), palm oil (27%), waste oils (15%), soya oil (5%), tallow & grease (4%), etc. As another factor, the production of EV battery packs—especially in long range EVs—adds to the production-side carbon burden of those vehicles.

For the ADEPT project, the consortium comprises CPT, the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC), Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, Ford and the University of Nottingham. Vehicle electrification and in particular mild hybridization of a conventional powertrain at 48V is a rapid growth area for the automotive industry.

Well, America’s auto industry delivered over 100,000. That helped us become the world’s greatest industrial power. It helps that the auto industry will be building more efficient new vehicles. We’ve already decided we’re going to fix already-built houses, offices and factories that waste energy.

But given the sheer tonnage of lithium, cobalt, and other raw materials needed for EV batteries, that figure is overly optimistic, suggests the mineral market analysis company Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, unless nearly 300 new mines and supporting refineries open by then. A massive effort will be needed to make this happen.

The EV sector includes HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEVs (Plug-In Electric Vehicles), and BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles). This is followed by a coffee shop or café with Wi-Fi to improve connectivity while they wait for their vehicle to charge (42%) to increase productivity during this otherwise wasted downtime.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.)

The physics, the mathematics and the chemistry all point to the fact that battery electric cars are far more efficient and far superior than Hydrogen cars will ever be. It takes more energy to run a hydrogen car compared to a battery electric car. The entire auto industry has given up on investing in Hydrogen cars.

While the timing of charging can be handled through the use of these smart meters, this does not preclude the need for upgrading the grid, a project that will save massive numbers of kWh that are currently being wasted due to the incredibly old and cobbled together grid we’ve got now.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles.
