Few automakers are as on-point with their design game at the moment as Genesis, and the automaker’s first electric car is no exception. In an era of garish design and massive grilles, Genesis has figured out how to stand out from the crowd with the 2024 GV60 with delightful details and reasonable efficiency.

Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. These results demonstrate the possibility of improved all-solid-state batteries via metallurgical design of negative electrodes while simplifying manufacturing processes.

We’ve used this speaker and it is decently robust with good sound, clearly designed to weather a few knocks and scrapes in typical Jeep environments whilst also able to provide a bit of juice to devices via its USB port. It says the rechargeable battery lasts for about 12 hours but I’ve never really gotten more than eight or nine.

These properties render quinone-based redox couples very attractive for high-efficiency metal-free rechargeable batteries, they found. The batteries last for about 5,000 recharge cycles, giving them an estimated 15-year lifespan. Such a system would create a minimal impact on the environment, and would likely be cheap, they figured.

Or you can store grid energy in the batteries when it is cheap and use it to meet peak needs. With Vehicle to Grid (V2G) , vehicles’ batteries provide power to the grid during times of peak demand, and the vehicles’ batteries are recharged during times of lower demand. Bidirectional charging for V2G or V2B.

We will get to how it all works in a moment, but the short version is that, while you still get a petrol engine with your electric motors, the former is only used to recharge the battery or deliver power to the motors — it never actually drives the wheels — giving you what Nissan calls an “EV-like” drive experience, and improved fuel efficiency.

In a typical non-aqueous rechargeable Li–O 2 battery, lithium peroxide (Li 2 O 2 ) is the discharging product formed on the oxygen electrode surface and is oxidized back to O 2 and Li + in a following charging process. The design takes some cues from a battery previously developed by Wu and doctoral student Xiaodi Ren.

And oil only seems cheap. But it will take decades to shift most freight from trucks to trains, design walkable communities, shorten our commutes, and build better mass transit and high-speed rail networks. We won’t need new power plants, since we have enough off-peak electricity to recharge as many retrofits as we can build.

He called his new configuration the "plug-in hybrid" because it allowed homeowners to recharge the car's batteries by plugging into an electrical outlet.

No new electric vehicle sold in Australia is cheap, but the BYD Atto 3 is definitely among the most affordable. BYD Atto 3 has an original interior design theme. In fact, it’s an enormous car company with huge engineering and design resources. But, obviously, the Atto 3 is powered only by electricity. It’s a decent result.

Recharging a battery can take 5-8 hours, but costs only a few cents a day. If more road space were given over to them, and roads were designed with two-wheeled transport in mind, that might change. Safe places to park and recharge are also needed. The reason is that western governments are not much interested bicycles.

It isn’t cheap, though – check the Toyota website to see the costs for your own circumstances. Recharging is 11kW for AC charging, and up to 150kW for DC charging, with the bZ4X running a 400-volt architecture. But it’s cheap for the first five years, at $180 per visit.

The Atto 3 is charmingly if idiosyncratically styled, has a decent equipment list, a range between recharges as much as 400km in the real world, acceptable performance from its 150kW e-motor and a comfy if not especially dynamic ride/handling balance. It’s the first ‘affordable’ EV that’s not felt heavily compromised or compromising.
