Anderman: Li-ion capacity far outstripping demand as automakers focus more on hybrids, less on full EVs

Green Car Congress

Anderman is founder and chairman of the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC); the 13 th annual conference is scheduled for February 2013 in Pasadena, California. Conversely, those of HEVs are in line with plans. OEMs will be paying between €180–200 per kWh for large-format battery cells until 2014/2015.

Roadmapping Your Airport EV Charging Installation

Blink Charging

Especially in the case of Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFCs), a large increase in energy consumption can lead to a new transformer. Thanks to your conversations with your electrician, your team will know ahead of time if your location requires upgrades and how much they will affect the overall cost of electrification.

Researchers show economic, environmental and grid-resilience benefits of converting diesel trains to battery-electric

Green Car Congress

At the recent 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the US joined a dozen other countries in signing onto new agreements to curtail shipping emissions, and zero-emissions solutions for freight rail transport will be part of that commitment. The social cost of carbon emissions starts at US$125?t t –1 by 2040. Popovich et al.

Adding Graphene to Metal Oxides Significantly Improves Li-ion Electrode Specific Capacity at High Charge/Discharge Rates

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have found that adding graphene—sheets made up of single carbon atoms—to titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) results in lithium-ion electrode materials that significantly outperform standard titanium dioxide materials.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. In essence, the PHEV can plug into the unused energy transfer potential of the grid.
