Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. Charged : Do different companies handle different steps of the process that converts spent battery packs to minerals?

As two rough comparisons, Toyota’s production Mirai fuel-cell sedan, with a 114 kW fuel cell stack and a 113 kW traction motor, has an NEDC fuel consumption—calculated from the JC08 homologated value—of 0.76 When the car is braked it stores the recovered energy. 3-way power DC/DC converter.

As a comparison, 314 Exajoules is more than three times the annual energy supply in the United States in 2005, which is also a similar level of supply on the Continent of Europe according to various government and independent sources. Bioenergy technologies can generate electricity, heat and fuels from a range of feedstocks.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

94% less stored carbon at risk. 100% reduction in solid waste. The study provides an in-depth comparison of the cradle-to-gate impacts of producing metals from land ores and polymetallic nodules, both sources of the nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese required to build one billion EV batteries. 94% less land use.

Densities for steel springs and Li-ion batteries provide a comparison. Carol Livermore, associate professor of mechanical engineering and her team used an ordered grouping of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as a spring to store elastic energy for later use—much as a steel spring stores energy in a mechanical watch.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences. Conclusions.

Until then, we also recommend you look at the FAQ at the Climate Progress Blog and the FAQ by Hybrids-Plus , an after-market converter of hybrid cars, for answers to many questions! Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The method that should seem most natural is charging at home.
