Instead, his collection of electric vehicles (EVs) has included a converted Yamaha motorcycle, a converted 1971 AMC Hornet, and several electric scooters. Fifty years ago, there were no EVs available commercially. David O’Neill on his ‘Silent Knight Electric Motrocycle,’ a converted Yamaha Big Bear.

The brake energy recovery system converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into stored energy by compressing nitrogen gas in a storage device called an accumulator. As many municipalities and fleet operators look to convert to CNG, the RunWise system is attractive to those who are under pressure to meet reduced emissions mandates.

He has been loyal to this brand since 2014, when it became the first commercial EV introduced on the Virgin Islands by Nissan Saint Thomas USVI , also known as Drive Electric VI. I was at a trade fair and I saw this little neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV). The dealership formed just so they could bring in the LEAF,” White explained.

Converting a gas appliance to a heat pump, for example, would draw 4 to 6 kW, while an L2 charger for EVs would be 12 to 14 kW. For instance, Marshall stated, it is not unusual for a 37.5 kilovolt-ampere transformer to support 15 households, as the distribution system was originally designed for each household to draw 2 kilowatts of power.
