CPT developing 48-volt electric supercharger for micro-mild hybrids

Green Car Congress

The higher-voltage variant will support moves by European vehicle manufacturers announced earlier this year to introduce 48 volt passenger vehicle power networks to help meet the requirement for lower fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The project is being supported and funded by the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC).

What is the difference between BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs?

Drive Electric

BEVs run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. WHAT IS AN ICEV (INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE VEHICLE)?

Technology Review: First Plug-in Hybrid to Be Sold in the United States

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

But that kind of acceleration is available only in something called "sport" mode, which uses power from both the battery pack and the gas-powered generator. Drivers will need to select the "stealth" mode to rely exclusively on electricity stored in the battery. The Karma can be refueled quickly.)

Why NPR Hates Electric Cars - A Greenius Expose

Creative Greenius

For instance, why was Frank trying to make folks worried about how much the battery for the car costs? No one seems too worried about how much the internal combustion engine (ICE) inside their current greenhouse gas producing car costs as an individual component, or the transmission, or the drive train.
