IBM Research has teamed with EKZ, the electricity utility provider of the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland, on a new pilot project that will allow consumers conveniently to charge electric vehicles and monitor their energy costs, using mobile devices. According to the latest statistics available, approximately 55.6%

The truck battery takes three to four hours to charge. When fully charged, the vehicle has a range of up to 100 kilometers (62 miles). Thus, the electric truck can theoretically complete a full production day without any additional recharging. The truck will travel a 2km route (1.2 tons of CO 2 annually.

HPL was spun out from Professor Graetzel’s laboratory at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland) in 2003 and is focused on the development of nano-structured metal oxide energy storage materials and novel electrolytes for use in next generation lithium ion batteries. Capacity at 1C is 900 mAh.

And yet, what about recharging? Without a driveway and a garage, how can I set up charging at home? Will we have a universal standard for charging? Will we have a universal standard for charging? What exactly is fast charging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. John Voelcker Great questions.

IBM and its partners have launched a multi-year research initiative exploring rechargeable Li-air systems for transportation—The Battery 500 Project ( earlier post )—but are viewing it in terms of a multi-decade development cycle. The same concept could be used to charge mobile phones for example—i.e., Earlier post.).

In generator mode, meanwhile, the alternating current is rectified for charging the battery. In this scenario the power electronics resemble in terms of their task a valve that lets the electrical current flow only towards the battery to be charged. If the battery is fully charged, no regenerative braking occurs. e-instruments.

They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging. In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg.
