These projects put more than 9,000 alternative fuel and energy-efficient light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road, and establish 542 refueling locations across the country. The program includes the installation of 10 alternative fuel refueling sites (two B20, one Electric Recharging, and seven CNG).

“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.

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. And in fact, we’ve had good conversations with bp pulse and with Shell Recharge in our service territory.

The GXL V2 is fun for neighborhood trips, provides 12 miles per charge, and performs best on flat pavement. Any steep inclines will slow it down and drain the battery faster. A basic LED screen displays battery life and speed. Do you have hardly any hills in your neighborhood? Does it rarely rain where you live?

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”. Sure, I love me a nice GEM.

of torque, powered by a 77-kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery. The battery is charged through a plug-in port offering three basic charging speeds. Driving around town, stuck in stop-and-go rush hour freeway traffic or coasting down hills will recharge the battery. State Of Charge (SOC): 52% battery remaining.

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. Volker, Calvin G.

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. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel.

Plug-in hybrids differ from hybrids on the road today in that they can go longer distances on battery power and can be recharged via electrical outlets.

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.

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. For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. AFP/Getty Images.
