The IMO’s previous goal was a 50 percent reduction by 2050 in comparison with 2008 levels. We needed to get the conversation started.” Land-based nuclear power plants, for comparison, are constructed on site and typically far exceed their budgets and schedules. How is it arranged?

In comparison, the state’s goal is to achieve this amount by 2050. trillion in capital, operations, and maintenance costs by 2035. Palo Alto’s government has set a very aggressive Sustainability and Climate Action Plan with a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below the 1990 level by the year 2030.

Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. The cost of platinum makes hydrogen fuel cells an expensive proposition even in comparison to lithium-ion batteries. The Conversation [link] accessed 4/6/2020.

That resulted in a bike that looked like it was wearing an eBay conversion kit with a battery in a shopping bag, not to mention a front wheel motor that limited power and traction. On the other hand, the single-speed design removes a potential failure point as well as a maintenance concern, plus it reduces the overall weight of the bike.

The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries.

However, to fully understand cost implications from an EV purchase it is vital to understand the total cost of ownership (TCO) – the full vehicle cost over its lifetime including purchase, resale, fuel, maintenance, taxes, etc. Only a personalised view can inform these numbers accurately.

And besides technical improvements, the systems will need to be built to last, using materials that are safe and durable so that batteries could operate more than 15 years and require very little maintenance over their lifetime. Carrying charges, operation and maintenances (O&M), and replacement costs are not included.

Now, the general consensus seems to be that having the [AC-to-DC] conversion happen off-board lightens the bus, and makes room for a bigger battery. Sometimes I use the comparison to Moore’s law,” said O’Shea. When electric transit buses first hit the market, they had an inverter on board, and they charged with alternating current.
