Stuff We Use: Bluetooth Speakers

The Truth About Cars

Not cheap but it is fully weatherproof with illuminated displays and multiple inputs in addition to Bluetooth. It says the rechargeable battery lasts for about 12 hours but Ive never really gotten more than eight or nine. This one costs $895 but the required Multi-Flex tailgate pushes the total to $1,340.

PNNL team develops electrolyte for high-voltage sodium-ion battery with extended longevity

Green Car Congress

Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. Over time, the electrochemical reactions that keep the energy flowing get sluggish, and the battery can no longer recharge. However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application.

IEA World Energy Outlook view on the transport sector to 2035; passenger car fleet doubling to almost 1.7B units, driving oil demand up to 99 mb/d; reconfirming the end of cheap oil

Green Car Congress

Oil and the Transport Sector: Reconfirming the End of Cheap Oil. Passenger light-duty vehicles (PLDVs) remain the single largest component of transport oil consumption, although shrinking from about 45% share today to 39% by 2035. Providing the recharging infrastructure will require roughly an additional $50 billion.

IDTechEx: market value of on-road fuel-cell vehicles to grow to $160B in 2042; 23.9% CAGR over 20 years

Green Car Congress

In such applications, a huge 500+ kWh battery will be required to reliably deliver 350+ km of range on a single charge, and full recharging, even with 350kW ultra-fast chargers, will take hours. This becomes an even greater challenge in a depot situation, where megawatts of power are required. Source: IDTechEx.

OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

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 state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy.
