Argonne study finds BEVs can have lowest scheduled maintenance costs, but highest cost of driving

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory, with colleagues from Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and National Renewable Energy labs, and the University of Tennessee, have published a comprehensive analysis of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for 12 sizes of vehicles ranging from compact sedans up to Class 8 tractors with sleeper cabs.

Northwestern team develops new approach to catalyst design using SPBCL and DFT; new HER catalyst 7x more active than Pt

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new approach for creating new catalysts to aid in clean energy conversion and storage. It is a major challenge in catalysis to uncover structure–performance relationships that drive the design and optimization of high-performance/low-cost catalysts. —Professor Chad A.

Yissum offering novel high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries; antimony sulphide nanoparticle-coated graphene

Green Car Congress

Sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion, NIBs) are seen as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale applications due to their lower cost and abundant supply of sodium. However, low capacity and poor rate capability of existing anodes have been major obstacles to the commercialization of NIBs. Prikhodchenko, Chad W.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Will we have a universal standard for charging? Putting in a charging station will cost you some money; it depends on a few things. That circuit cost me about 400 bucks to have put in; it's in a garage, so they didn't need to go behind sheetrock. Is it worth the extra almost 50 percent added to the cost of the car?

Falling Domestic Fares and an A.I. Arms Race: What Travelers Can Expect in 2024

Baua Electric

Hayley Berg, lead economist for the booking platform Hopper , anticipates that for the next six months, domestic airfare will cost less than in 2023 and prepandemic years. Reasons for the falling prices include increased airplane capacity — the number of seats on a given route — and a drop in the cost of jet fuel.
