CleanTechnica EVs

This is an interesting use of data for a state comparison. As you can see above, states in the West and Florida (and Vermont) had the highest portions of their […]. Energy Information Administration has created a map showing what portion of the 50 US states’ CO2 emissions come from transportation (as of 2018*).

Self-Destructing Circuits and More Security Schemes

Cars That Think

In comparison to… always-on protection, the detection-driven protection incurs less delay and less energy overhead,” he said. A University of Vermont team led by Eric Hunt-Schroeder and involving Marvell Technology took their PUF a step farther. If it’s somehow compromised, this PUF can actually destroy itself.

We are unaware of previous studies reporting this type of comparison of the exhaust PM. The most significant compositional difference between the exhaust PM from combustion of the 2 fuels was the ratio of polar to non-polar species: 46% assigned polar for B0 vs 68% polar compounds for the B20 fuel.

California ARB mods to ZEV regulations for IVMs would result in ~1.9% drop in total ZEV/TZEV units 2018-2025; no impact on air quality requirements

Green Car Congress

In comparison, the IVMs face the comparatively difficult technological challenge of transitioning from compliance solely with PZEVs to compliance with TZEVs. Currently, nine states have done so: Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Researchers find HEV under real-world conditions delivers significantly greater fuel economy benefits than EPA “sticker” values

Green Car Congress

We compare real-world tailpipe emissions data for one HEV to the same manufacturer and model year CV counterpart to quantify the CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption benefits of the HEV during real-world driving across all northern Vermont seasons on terrain that includes steep and rolling hills.
