The overarching question was not whether the light-duty transportation sector would electrify to a significant degree, but when. Topics covered the expected gamut of policy (especially carbon policy), infrastructure, batteries and consumers. Infrastructure, recharging and business models. —Peter Darbee. —Dan Ford.

“The slimming of the battery essentially comes because of a focus on weight, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, new construction materials and other design factors, he said in an interview. How can you quickly improve the performance of the battery in an electric car? By Michael Kanellos, for Greentech Media. by: Michael Kanellos.

What if going wireless enabled you to prolong the life of your batteries, to achieve the same range with a smaller battery pack, and to charge the same number of vehicles with fewer charging stations? I could drive a Class 8 truck over a light-duty charger, and it will activate one pad of that truck and still charge.

For instance, in our jurisdiction, to install electric vehicle infrastructure, we don’t have to obtain approval from the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), whereas Duke and Florida Power & Light do.

Rubin and St-Louis say that considering the high costs of fuel-efficient electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell vehicles, whose sticker prices start at around $20,000, it was not surprising to find that 83% of rebate recipients in the period studied reported yearly incomes of more than $100,000. —Evelyne St-Louis.

I’m talking about Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) , the official term for what many people call Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). But those suckers start at $15k, and the price jumps to $25k when you add doors and a lithium-ion battery upgrade. Err, actually, I probably shouldn’t call them “cars”.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences.

Meet the e-bike. A battery and small electric-assist motor on a bike frame allows riders to climb hills and reach higher speeds with each boosted pedal for less effort than a regular bike. For those of you who have yards and gardens, electric landscaping equipment is making inroads into neighborhoods nationwide. Think again.

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. Although charging infrastructure is beginning to find its way into cities, it may be awhile until they are available in residential neighborhoods en masse. Battery swapping has its critics.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. fleet of light vehicles.
