RWTH Aachen team finds DMM promising sustainable fuel

Green Car Congress

In an open-access paper in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science , the team reports its findings on the analysis of five DMM reaction pathways in terms of exergy efficiency, production cost, and climate impact. With considerable catalyst improvements, a maximum exergy efficiency of 92% and minimum production cost of 2.0$

How the EV Charging Industry Is Emerging and Evolving

EV Connect

Deloitte forecasts that by 2022, the costs of ownership for EVs will be comparable to their combustion-engine counterparts. Last year saw the first full conversion of a gas station into an electric charging station in the U.S. This likely means continued growth of the fully electric market — and its charging network along with it.
