Fastcharge consortium presents prototype for 450 kW charging station; Porsche research vehicle charges at 400 kW

Green Car Congress

In Germany, the FastCharge research consortium ( earlier post ) has presented a prototype for a charging station with an output of up to 450 kW in Jettingen-Scheppach, located near the A8 motorway between Ulm and Augsburg. Initiated in July 2016, the Fast Charge research project has received €7.8 million (US$8.9

DOE tool allows consumers to estimate localized upstream greenhouse gas emissions for EVs and PHEVs

Green Car Congress

The consumer chooses the make, model, and model year of the vehicle and enters the zip code where the vehicle will be charging. Zip code is required because emissions are dependent upon fuels used to generate the electricity, often referred to as the grid mix, which varies by location.

ICCT study assesses infrastructure needed to support near term deployment of zero-emission Class 4-8 vehicles in US

Green Car Congress

A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) assesses the near-term charging and refueling infrastructure needs for zero-emission Class 4-8 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) at the national and sub-national levels. There are many options to meet both near- and long-term charging needs, the ICCT paper notes.

MHDs are typically managed at fleets, although fleet sizes can range from 10 to 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000 vehicles. Electric school buses equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology also have tremendous potential as “batteries on wheels” that can store electricity and provide it to the grid or to buildings when needed.

You lose about half of your range in an electric vehicle if you drive it in the middle of winter in Michigan,” says Cyrus Rustomji, cofounder of South 8. Rustomji says he expects EV batteries made with South 8’s technology to maintain nearly full range at –40 °C, and gradually degrade in temperatures lower than that.
