EAA National Board nominations from across North America

Electric Auto Association

I have talked about the total cost of ownership for EVs compared with both hybrid and traditional ICE vehicles. I set up the partnership between ChargePoint and Solar Smart Living and helped many commercial and residential customers make the transition to electric charging. What type of leadership makes you thrive?

EPFL team develops low-cost water splitting cell with solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 12.3%

Green Car Congress

A team led by Dr. Michael Grätzel at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland has developed a highly efficient and low-cost water-splitting cell combining an advanced perovskite tandem solar cell and a bi-functional Earth-abundant catalyst. Jingshan Luo, post-doctoral researcher, explains how. Credit: EPFL.

NREL, Swiss scientists create silicon-based multijunction solar cells that reach nearly 36% efficiency

Green Car Congress

But as manufacturing ramps up and the efficiencies of these types of cells climbs to 35%, the researchers predict the cost per watt could fall to 66 cents for a GaInP-based cell and to 85 cents for the GaAs-based cell. The cost of a solar module in the United States accounts for 20% to 40% of the price of a photovoltaic system.

ABB charges into the future with Formula E

Charged EVs

Well, this is happening in the commercial space with trucks and buses. Now, the general consensus seems to be that having the [AC-to-DC] conversion happen off-board lightens the bus, and makes room for a bigger battery. “As you progress, the batteries get smaller, because you can charge it faster,” said O’Shea.
