IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations.

I run my electric tractor completely off-grid. Here’s my secret

Baua Electric

In what continues to feel like the ultimate tool hack, I’ve been running my electric tractor completely off-grid. With this setup, I’ve created an entirely off-grid system where my electric tractor is always powered by solar energy. For example, we just got an electric chainsaw and now I can run that off-grid as well.
