NJ state Senate approves bill requiring New Jersey DEP to develop and implement electric school bus program

Green Car Congress

The sticker price of a new electric school bus can be nearly triple that of a new diesel bus, making it difficult for school districts to afford making an immediate transition. A University of Delaware study estimates one electric school bus could save a district about $230,000 over its 14-year lifespan.

Material Derived From Carbonized Chicken Feathers Could Meet DOE Hydrogen Storage Targets

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage—carbonized chicken feathers (CCFF)—that they say could meet the DOE requirements for hydrogen storage and are competitive with carbon nanotubes and metal hydrates at a tiny fraction of their cost.

New high-activity, low-cost nickel-based catalyst for fuel cells exhibits performance similar to Pt; hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware, with a colleague at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, have developed a composite catalyst—nickel nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes—that exhibits hydrogen oxidation activity in alkaline electrolyte similar to platinum-group metals.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

The case that I made for the Senate is that bidirectional capabilities, with the right V2G business model, can reduce the total cost of ownership of an EV, and therefore make EVs more affordable. But in places like Delaware or in PJM territory, which covers a very large percentage of the US population, this is getting implemented right now.
