Carbon emissions from generating electricity for electric vehicles vary greatly across the individual US states

Green Car Congress

by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research The overall advantage of battery electric over gasoline vehicles, in terms of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases, has been well documented. However, the emissions of electric vehicles depend greatly on the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them.

Updated US Hydrogen Strategy Is Better, But Still Mostly Good For The Fossil Fuel Industry

CleanTechnica EVs

As a living document, the strategy is still deeply flawed, but less flawed than the first one. If the DOE updates it every six months, and there's as much movement each time, then by 2025 or 2026 it could be a good strategy.

Argonne updates GREET and AFLEET tools for transportation technologies analysis

Green Car Congress

The most recent GREET versions are the GREET1 2017 version for fuel-cycle analysis and GREET2 2017 version for vehicle-cycle analysis. Implemented new pathways for fuel cell electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles powered by gaseous hydrogen. Updated the fuel economy and vehicle weights of light duty vehicles.

Developing standards for EV charging reliability

Charged EVs

This tragedy involves a cast of many players—automakers, charger manufacturers, network operators, electric utilities, and often a lot more—and all need to start reading from the same script if there’s to be any hope of a happy ending. We said, “Where does charging fail 80% of the time? Let’s figure those out. Let’s categorize them.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Jesse Jenkins and his collaborators used the REPEAT energy model to project the greenhouse-gas reductions resulting from recent U.S. and “Is your electricity bill reasonably affordable?” In other states, utilities submit a document where 90 percent of it is redacted. candidate, built the GenX electricity-system planning model.
