Gil Weigand of Oak Ridge National Laboratory outlined his vision of a critical solution to the energy, climate and ensuing national security threats facing the US: the Net-Zero Neighborhood (NZN). Actually delivering commercially viable 500-mile batteries will require exascale computing—i.e., The Net-Zero Neighborhood.

Model Battery. All batteries are Li-ion unless otherwise noted. The PHEV testing benchmarks vehicle performance by quantifying energy consumption, both in terms of gasoline and electricity, in a wide variety of operating conditions in 23 states and Canada.

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. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. slow charge.

EV Adoption

While I was aware of this trend — I see it loud and clear in my own neighborhood — I hadn’t realized how wide-spread this trend actually was in the US. In cold temperatures EV batteries take longer to charge and are less efficient, and will see reduced range as drivers turn up their heaters and seat warmers. Image Source: SparkCharge.
