What Are Zero Emission Day and National Drive Electric Week?

Blink Charging

In the EV world, there is a concept called “well to wheel emissions,” which considers fossil fuel emissions during the charging process depending on the electricity generation itself. You can drive an EV without worrying about generating any harmful emissions, which is obviously great for the planet.

RAND study concludes use of alternative fuels by US military would convey no direct military benefit; recommends energy efficiency instead

Green Car Congress

Any benefits from investment in alternative fuels by the US Department of Defense will accrue to the nation as a whole rather than to mission-specific needs of the military, the researchers concluded. From the perspective of technical viability, a number of alternative fuels can meet this requirement.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. This factor too, means hydrogen powered FCEV will always be far more expensive to purchase and operate than a simple battery electric vehicle. .

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. Conclusions. slow charge.
