Argonne study finds BEVs can have lowest scheduled maintenance costs, but highest cost of driving

Green Car Congress

We use vehicles modeled in Autonomie to estimate vehicle costs and fuel economy along with fuel price projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), and focus on developing internally consistent estimates for other relevant cost parameters.

NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

However, owing to small scale and limited competition, dispensed hydrogen fuel prices currently are higher, averaging about $16.30/kg gal (assuming FCEVs offer twice the fuel economy of internal combustion engine vehicles and vehicle cost is competitive). kg in California in the third quarter of 2018. —Penev et al.

The Race for the Next-Gen Space Station

Cars That Think

It said that without a working station, “the nascent low Earth orbit commercial space economy would likely collapse, causing cascading impacts to commercial space transportation capabilities, in-space manufacturing, and microgravity research.” The competitors say they can head off delays and deliver on price. What is that? $50

Ioxus Introduces 1,000-, 3,000- and 5,000-Farad Ultracapacitor Cells with Higher Power Densities

Green Car Congress

Chad Hall, Ioxus COO. The new 1,000-, 3,000- and 5,000-F ultracapacitors are available at www.ioxus.com, starting at the following prices for low volume: 1,000F, 2.7V The ESR is the same as that of higher capacitance products. In general, as capacitance does up, the ESR goes down. ultracapacitors - $62. ultracapacitors - $90.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

But as of this spring, the average new vehicle sold in America—across everything from large pickup trucks to small economy hatchbacks—the average transaction price was $42,000. The main concern is purchase price or more likely, monthly payment. Our theme music is by Chad Crouch. Can I get it for under 300 bucks a month?
