On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, Carwatt and its partners Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Alès École des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus are showing a converted Renault Trafic powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars.

A key element of this change is the conversion of production micro-grids from an alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC) architecture—“Industrial Smart DC Grids”. However, today’s production grids are powered by alternating current—which has to be converted.

The conversion features Corvus’ AT6500 48 volt lithium polymer battery packs. Corvus’ lithium polymer batteries last up to 10 times longer and have up to 10 times more power and energy storage than lead acid batteries. Completed on 6 March, the converted RT Adriaan, now renamed E-KOTUG RT Adriaan, has rejoined the KOTUG fleet.

EFICIENCY OF ENERGY CONVERSION There is a law in science (more specifically, thermodynamics) that. in layman’s term, would state that conversion of one form of energy to another — in this case the primary energy sources (natural gas, oil and coal) to electricity — is not 100% efficient. — Mark - Dallas 25.

And, you have to recognize that they pull a hell of a lot of power through the local grid: there will come a time when we will see utility transformers popping from all the current being drawn (imagine just a few dozen EVs fast-charging simultaneously, on 480V at 500A: wow). Must you say "incredibly idiotic" and "mind numbingly dumb"?
