NACFE releases guidance report on hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks

Green Car Congress

Key findings from the report include: Hydrogen fuel cells trucks are just starting to see real-world use and their adoption is being driven by regional or national considerations that are much bigger than what exists for trucking fleets. Hydrogen is a regional solution, cheap hydrogen even more so. of hydrogen adoption in 2030.

Queensland, AU doubles EV rebates to boost zero-emission vehicle adoption

Teslarati

Minister for Energy, Renewables, and Hydrogen Mick de Brenni said, “We want more zero-emission vehicles on Queensland roads with Queensland families to have access to cheaper and cleaner vehicles.” This abundant, cheap solar energy makes Queensland an ideal location for EV adoption.

CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

In a new study published in the journal Applied Energy , Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers found that controlled charging of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) reduces the costs of integrating the vehicles into an electricity system by 54–73% depending on the scenario.

Tesla Semi will be incredibly affordable with US’ revamped EV tax credit

Teslarati

Long-range all-electric trucks like the Tesla Semi will not come cheap. Battery costs are declining quickly, but even Tesla still lists its 300-mile Semi variant with an estimated starting price of $150,000. I really expect Tesla to raise prices on the Semi, its too cheap at this point.

BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

Steel production could be made with almost no carbon emissions through $278 billion of extra investment by 2050, according to a new report from research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF). Hydrogen and recycling are likely to play a central role in reducing emissions from steel production. BAU is business-as-usual.

CMU study finds controlled EV charging can reduce generation cost, but at greater health and environmental costs depending upon the generation mix

Green Car Congress

The question of electricity costs vs. health and environmental cost is important to ask everywhere, Michalek said. Reduction in annual generation cost and external emissions costs due to controlled charging compared to uncontrolled charging ($2010). Power generation also accounts for over 40% of GHG emissions.

Why 2023 will be another great year for electric vehicles

My Energi

Following rises in the cost of electricity, the business case for domestic solar has never been stronger in the post-subsidy era. Domestic solar makes EV adoption even more of a no-brainer, with the marginal cost of charging being as low as zero when the sun is shining.
