Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines.

can be achieved over a broad range of vehicles in part by optimizing the control of heat energy from conventional gasoline and diesel engines. CPT’s turbo-generator integrated gas energy recovery system employs the same switched reluctance technology as its production-ready VTES electric supercharging and SpeedStart stop-start systems.

So you've finally got your electric car. You're going out of town for a few days and recall a few spots at the airport parking lot that have a regular 110-volt electric outlet on the wall. Do you plug in your Tesla (or Nissan LEAF or Chevy Volt)? Are you "stealing" power? Solar Dave thinks you are.

Projects to be funded include: Ultra Lightweight Gas Turbine Range Extender for Electric Vehicles. Total project cost is £2,206,784, with the TSB providing £1,103,392. The small size, multi-fuel capability and potential low cost of the ULRE could also help speed adoption of electric vehicles. Title Partners.

A brief moment in EV history passed us by about a decade ago, when the little-known VIA Motors introduced their lineup of VTRUX hybrid-electric vehicles. Lutz was a staunch supporter of GM’s plug-in hybrid of the time, the Cruze-based Volt. In theory the vehicles would be charged often to minimize the gasoline used by the engine.&
