How ridesharing can help solve the challenge of urban EV ownership

Charged EVs

So if you’re a consumer, or if you’re another business such as a rental car company, you start to have confidence that there’s infrastructure available for you to charge. We build out that infrastructure, utilize it with our rideshare business, but then also make it completely publicly accessible. Two years is a safe average.

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

We could take an Oslo taxi and charge it in a bus terminal in Wenatchee, Washington or vice versa. A lot of the advice of the engineering firms, knowing this cold-weather impact, is to find easier routes first and wait for bigger-battery buses [to serve the longer routes]. John Holland: Yes. We’re doing the same thing around the world.

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 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.
