Symbio targets European taxi market with fuel cell range extender in Nissan e-NV200; 500 km range

Green Car Congress

The customized e-NV200 offers taxi drivers a similar total cost of ownership to a hybrid taxi, but with the range of an internal combustion engine. It can be recharged from a low-cost power supply, and refueled with hydrogen in three minutes (3.8 —Fabio Ferrari, CEO of Symbio. kg hydrogen at 700 bar).

Review paper: Graphene and related materials (GRMs) may play major role in energy applications

Green Car Congress

The ability to produce these GRMs, and control their properties, might enable a range of device characteristics, with optimized energy/power densities, lifetime, safety, and potentially reducing cost while minimizing environmental impact. Ferrari, Rodney S. —Bonaccorso et al. 1246501.

Researchers Develop More Efficient Thermocells for Low-Grade Waste Heat Recovery

Green Car Congress

However, the researchers note, despite much progress over the past decades, current thermoelectric energy conversion technology is not very cost-effective and is constrained by physical and material limitations, while Stirling engine technology is disadvantaged by high initial cost and problems with long-term reliability.

Why the Next Microgrids Will Be Well Connected

Cars That Think

Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (including three of us—Ferrari, Ollis, and Starke) are investigating distributed controllers that will allow microgrids to form a larger network that will increase their resiliency and facilitate the integration of more renewable energy. To that end, engineers at the U.S.

Auto Racing Test Drives Its Own EV Future

Cars That Think

But commercial interests or hucksterism aside, few would argue that the technology itself isn’t making impressive strides. Still, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on race engineering and R&D alone. For each race minute, we will get 1 kilowatt-hour back from each axle.”

Proposed Changes to the Federal EV Tax Credit Passed by the House of Representatives

EV Adoption

It remains to be seen how significant of an impact this change will have, but it should clearly increase sales of lower-cost EVs among households or modest income. The current tax credit has no cap on the price of an EV meaning electric cars costing well over $100,000 are eligible for the same credit as one costing $40,000.
