DOE AVTA Completes 1M Miles of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Testing

Green Car Congress

The 1 million test miles and more than 26,000 charging events have been accumulated in on-road operations across the United States and Canada. By evaluating how the vehicles are driven and how they are charged, the AVTA is able to demonstrate vehicle energy consumption results and potential electric grid impacts. Earlier post.)

Proterra beefs up its battery expertise: Q&A CTO Dustin Grace

Charged EVs

The company has sold some 950 buses to transit agencies, airports, universities, national parks and private companies in 43 states and provinces. There’s a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) side of that as well, which we’re currently developing and launching with Dominion Energy next summer. We’re working to get that into the industry.

Audi highlights its range of electrification efforts; Q7 diesel PHEV, A7 fuel cell PHEV, BEV, 48V and more; 750 Wh/l by 2025

Green Car Congress

For example, fuel economy statistics and a graphic display of the electric range is shown on the navigation map. Under a venture with the motto “From Road to Grid”, Audi is therefore currently working on a concept to convert old batteries into stationary energy stores. A tilt angle display is standard with the optional air springs.
