I knew I wanted something for her that was cheap to maintain, had a reliable automatic transmission, came with cruise control, AC. Having enough electric charge to last a 5-15 minute in silence in a traffic jam. Power steering is electric and as a result we don’t need to check the power steering oil level as there isn’t any.

The existing standard solution is to build EV charging stations to solve the range problem of electric vehicles. But the vast capital investment makes the current number of EV charging stations unable to meet the demand. Mobile EV charging is the new model that emerged from this situation.

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. The question of electricity costs vs. health and environmental cost is important to ask everywhere, Michalek said. Credit: ACS, Weis et al.

The team, led by Yiying Wu, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, integrated a dye-sensitized photoelectrode into a lithium-oxygen battery along with the oxygen electrode to enable “photo-assisted charging” of the Li-air cell. O 2 cell is calculated to be 11,680 Wh/kg—not much lower than that of gasoline (13,000 Wh/kg).

For ages, this writer used a gasoline-powered pressure washer, firm in the belief it ran better and more reliably than any cheap electric plug-in unit ever would. The battery is a large cube and sits where the gasoline engine resided on my old pressure washer, consuming about the same amount of space.
