ICCT: incremental technology can cut vehicle CO2 by half and increase fuel economy >60% through 2030 with ~5% increase in price

Green Car Congress

The ICCT also made several changes in nonbattery pack assumptions, such as the cost of charging equipment. In its analysis, the ICCT used 100-, 125- and 200-mile BEV electric ranges rather than the 75-, 100- and 200-mile ranges used by EPA.

MIT researchers devise simple catalytic system for fixation and conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

The new reaction, described in an open access paper in the RSC journal Chemical Science , transforms carbon dioxide into a negatively charged carbonate ion, which can then react with a silicon compound to produce formate, a common starting material for manufacturing useful organic compounds. doi: 10.1039/C4SC00132J.

What is the difference between BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs?

Drive Electric

The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. When the battery depletes, it is recharged using grid electricity from a wall socket or a dedicated charging station. . BEVs are low-maintenance vehicles.
