Tesla Model Y Review (w/ Surprise), Cruel Idaho Policy on Wolves — CleanTechnica Top 20

CleanTechnica EVs

MAY 4, 2021

The most popular new articles last week on CleanTechnica were led by a short (and unusual) Tesla Model Y review, a potential new policy in Idaho regarding wolves (yes, not our typical focus area), a certain simple hybrid, and JB Straubel’s newfound business love post-Tesla. For the whole list and to jump into the reader […].

FEBRUARY 12, 2017

WiTricity is collaborating with Nissan to further the adoption of wireless EV charging systems. Products developed by carmakers, Tier 1 suppliers and charging infrastructure suppliers will be measured against 3.7 kW test stations (WPT 1 and WPT2; the J2954 team also envisions light duty charging rates of 11 kW (WPT3) and 22 kW (WPT4).

INL analysis of 5 large-scale PEV and charging projects finds public charging infrastructure not needed everywhere to enable PEV adoption

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 1, 2015

Idaho National Laboratory has released the voluminous findings from its analysis of five large-scale PEV and charging infrastructure projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The key finding of INL’s assessment of the results was that public charging infrastructure is not needed everywhere to enable PEV adoption.

JULY 17, 2015

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

When (and How) Should You Use a DC EV Charger?

EV Connect

JANUARY 8, 2024

According to the Alternative Fuels Data Center, there are 36,366 DC Fast charging stations available in the United States. Should you use one of them to charge your Electric Vehicle (EV)? AC can be thought of as "low and slow" charging, while DC is very fast and powerful. This makes DC ideal for rapid charging stations.
