BYD introduced its Type A battery-electric school bus that also offers innovative vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing the vehicle to serve as a power storage resource when it’s not transporting students. —Samuel Kang, BYD’s Head of Total Technology Solutions. BYD also provides 19.2 kW single phase AC charging.

They include the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive variants as well as the BYD Atto 3. AC/DC EV charging In the brochure you may have noticed mentions of AC and DC charging. All you need to know is that AC charging is slower and DC charging faster. But DC charge rates can vary enormously.

Pictured is the factory where electric-vehicle maker BYD, based in Santa Dominguez, Calif., BYD says it owes its preeminence in the electric-bus market to the fact that its buses’ iron-phosphate batteries can be topped off through the AC or DC plugin ports, via overhead catenaries, and from inductive chargers embedded in road surfaces.

Add in a DC fast-charge rate that tops out at a claimed 130kW and you can see the iX1 is not cutting edge for range or recharging. It’s a fundamental disappointment in a car this price when a $30,000 cheaper BYD Atto 3 can go further. The iX1 has no Vehicle to Load or vehicle to Grid capability. Both are on the local ADR cycle.

We did a capacity study in the area and we realized that there was a very tight industrial zone right outside of LAX, where we had this huge interest from customers, and there was seven megawatts of available power that was sitting on the grid at that time. And they assigned us every bit of capacity that was available on the grid.

We connect high-power communication lines into the DC charging system of the car. At the cabinet end, we have an advantage over plug-in charging because one of the key power transfer stages in the power electronics is an isolation transformer, an air-gap transformer, which is protecting the vehicle from the grid and vice-versa.

But what did surprise this reporter was the absence of Honda, Toyota, BYD, and a lot of the other players listed on the Plug-In America car tracker. They own and built the ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations which range in capability from 120V 15A to 240V 80A AC charging to future 120kW DC charging.

Last year Oregon had also aggressively negotiated with the Chinese carmaker, BYD , to manufacture its line of plug-in hybrids in the state for sale in the U.S.) Wind, hydro, DC transmission lines, and smart grid electronics are also Portland strengths. — Larry 4.

Posted by: GSP | Apr 14, 2009 9:07:50 AM Funny, BYD (chinese) already came out with their version of the volt this year. Notice in [link] that GM carefully avoids claiming to reduce CO2 by shifting to the grid, but leads people off the track by focusing on smog related issues. So is the management in Washinton DC.
