CMU county-level study shows plug-ins have larger or smaller lifecycle GHG than gasoline ICE depending on regional factors

Green Car Congress

Jeremy Michalek accounted for regional differences in emissions due to marginal grid mix; ambient temperature; patterns of vehicle miles traveled (VMT); and driving conditions (city versus highway). Chevy Volt PHEV (EREV). Their open-access paper is published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. —Yuksel et al.

Does EV home-backup capability outmode the Tesla Powerwall?

Baua Electric

According to GM the V2H bundle will initially only be available for purchase in California, Florida, Michigan, New York, and Texas. “We in future updates,” said spokesperson Sanaz Marbley to Green Car Reports. It’s good for charging at 19.2 kw AC, while discharge power from the unit is DC and peaks at 9.6

Ionova Technologies says ZIP-Cap ultracapacitors can offer 5x increase in energy density and 25x reduction in build cost (updated with graphic)

Green Car Congress

While this does increase capacitance, it demands the anode be brought back to open circuit potential of the carbon (0 volts for the cell) or charge accumulates, causing capacitance fade over cycling. Under a FY 2010 Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) from the DOE, Ionova partnered with Dr. Jim P. Resources. ?

Researchers find Nissan LEAF creates less CO2 than Toyota Prius hybrid in west US and Texas, but more in N. Midwest

Green Car Congress

Regionally specific lifecycle CO 2 emissions per mile traveled for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the US can vary widely based on grid emission factors (i.e., the “carbon footprint” of electricity production and use), according to a new study by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

Emporia’s energy management system prepares for the bidirectional EV charging future

Charged EVs

Once an EV can double as a stationary storage device, it will take its place as part of an energy ecosystem that includes rooftop solar and energy management—and could even become a source of revenue for owners and a valuable grid-balancing resource for utilities. We can turn on smart plugs. I can wait until my temperature balances back up.
