EV chargers are more than just high-current electrical outlets. EV charging software manages much more than just topping up the battery in an electric vehicle. Charging-point software – EVs can draw charging current from “dumb” electric outlets. kWs and are included with EVs manufactured in the U.S.

Fleets tested Volvo VNR Electric Class 8 tractors for three years: Here’s what they learned. However, heavy-duty electric trucks from traditional makers have started to hit the market. Publicity magnet Tesla said it delivered its first battery-electric Semi tractor on December 1. Put another way: Plan first, order trucks second.

The US federal government has set a goal—via Executive Order 13423—for federal agencies to use plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as they become available at a reasonable cost. To incorporate plug-ins into the federal fleet, agencies will face challenges related to cost, availability, planning, and federal requirements.

Our neighborhood is called the “Hollywood Riviera&# because of its beautiful hillside homes with idyllic ocean views framed by palm trees. Meanwhile our long term drought, now its its third year with no end in sight, means less available water to fight the fires with. That’s about a 25% reduction.

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. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

Unfortunately, thanks to the fast pace of electrification and the slow pace of standards bodies, electrical safety standards for heavy vehicles are lagging behind the market. Littelfuse has seen designs using 32 V fuses for 600 V systems, and companies using industrial fuses because high-voltage automotive-qualified fuses aren’t available.

As our climate change crisis worsens and spins out of control with each passing day there’s no time to spare for those of us whose job it is to educate and motivate our fellow citizens to actions that cut our greenhouse gas emissions. A key difference is that SB 279 is available to all local agencies in addition to cities and counties.

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. Indeed, adopting electric vehicles will go a long way in helping to improve environmental outcomes. You also must consider the electricity that charges the vehicle.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Of course, everything has its drawbacks and one problem with charging at home is that it is not an option available for some city dwellers.
