German Agency for Disruptive Innovation supporting development of high-altitude on-shore wind turbines

Green Car Congress

Among the projects being funded by the German Agency for Disruptive Innovation ( SPRIND ) is an effort by Horst Bendix to develop a high-altitude, on-shore wind turbine. The higher a wind turbine is installed, the more efficiently it will work, because the wind is much steadier and blows with greater force at altitude.

Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. California, the EV adoption and clean energy leader in the U.S.,

Volkswagen striving to make production of the electric ID. carbon-neutral

Green Car Congress

Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climate protection projects elsewhere. Unavoidable emissions in the manufacturing process are offset by investments in certified climate projects. A savings potential of about 33% was identified for the first step alone by the end of 2019. Earlier post.)

BASF intensifying R & D of products for sustainable electromobility; triple-digit million euro investment in batteries over next 5 years

Green Car Congress

Electromobility will only significantly contribute to environmental and climate protection when the electricity from the batteries has been generated high efficiently and with less CO 2. Therefore we are investing in research to find ways of generating electricity from renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar energy.

can be influenced via the regenerative braking function, of which there are five levels available: ‘D’ (regeneration via electromechanical brake servo only when applying the brake), ‘D1’, D2’, ‘D3’ and ‘B’. As a result the battery’s full range is available at the start of the journey. D1, D2, D3. As in the e-up!,
