Volkswagen bringing 48V MHEV to eight-generation Golf

Green Car Congress

In 2018, Volkswagen announced at the Vienna Motor Symposium that it would make the innovative low-voltage concept accessible to a broad public. In deceleration phases, the generator converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy and charges the battery with energy that would otherwise be lost.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles unveils 5 battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles; I.D. BUZZ CARGO

Green Car Congress

The electric campaign is now gaining momentum at the 2018 IAA Commercial Vehicles show. Here, the direct current (DC) stored in the battery is converted into alternating current (AC). A DC/DC converter supplies the on-board electronics with 12 volts. One highlight is the I.D.

Volkswagen unveils MEB-based I.D. CROZZ electric crossover concept in Shanghai; production in 2020

Green Car Congress

Using a 150 kW (DC) fast charger, the high-performance battery can be 80% recharged within 30 minutes. CROZZ is more compact and has a lower roofline than the all-new 2018 Tiguan, yet the CUV provides just as much space. The on-board electronics are meanwhile supplied with 12 volts via a DC/DC converter.

Testimony: Why I like my electric vehicle

Electric Auto Association

When regenerative braking is selected, when I take my foot off the accelerator, the motor acts as a brake to slow the vehicle down, converting kinetic energy into electrons which flow back into the battery. I love that my EV is so efficient: EVs convert over 77% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels.

IEEE Society Restores Electricity To a Nepali School

Cars That Think

Kiani traveled in 2018 to Cairns, Australia, for the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics. While in Cairns, she visited a store that sold purses and clothes made by Melamchi villagers. Hybrid inverters convert the solar panels’ DC power to AC so it can be used by light fixtures and household appliances.
