Charged EVs

DECEMBER 21, 2022

The far higher volumes of carbon dioxide per mile from heavy trucks make them an obvious target for zero-emission powertrains. Some makers suggest hydrogen fuel cells will be the way to go; the most promising application seems to be long-haul trucking with few or no stops. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world.

kWh NiMH plug-in hybrid (PHEV) conversion kit that enables all-electric mode driving at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (until the battery pack is depleted) in a converted Prius. What we’re essentially offering is all-electric performance for about 25 miles at highway speeds. Poway, California-based Plug In Conversions Corp.

Aymeric Rousseau, program manager at Argonne, presented a small slice of this wide study at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference 2009 (AABC) this week in Long Beach. Here the controller drives as long as possible using battery energy, depleting the state of charge (SOC) from 90% to 30%. Split 4 kWh: 3.27

Unlike individual car owners, fleet operators know exactly how many miles their vehicles travel, and they aren’t likely to be swayed by questions of styling or coolness factors—if you can demonstrate that an EV will save them money, then you should be able to make a sale. Is the supply of battery packs going to be a bottleneck?

Audi introduced the battery-electric Audi A3 e-tron US pilot program at TED2012 in Long Beach, California. Energy storage is provided by the lithium-ion battery, which is located in multiple blocks under the luggage compartment floor, under the rear seat and in the center tunnel. A3 e-tron BEV.

And there’s 40% of the Class 8 market and the medium-duty market that [drives] under 250 miles a day. You can get 250 miles a day even with a full load nowadays, so that technology is there for right now. They can’t go much above 800 to 1,000 volts in battery technology with their electronics only at 1,200 volts.

With some halfway decent sensors to detect obstacles on the track, reliable motors and batteries that last long enough (current range is 800km with a sub-hour recharge time), and the software infrastructure required to sort it all out, I don’t see any major obstacles to building these things and putting them on some tracks.
