in connection with Hyliion’s recently announced business combination. The powertrain also produces electricity locally at roughly 30% less than the average grid cost, which yields a seven-year cost-of-ownership unmatched by any diesel, battery-electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel-cell (FCEV) Class 8 truck under development.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.

How EV Connect Can Help With EV Fleet Management

EV Connect

And it affects questions of maintenance — you no longer need to worry about oil changes and similar maintenance, but how are you maximizing battery life and efficiency? The upfront costs of electrifying a fleet can compound these questions and make the whole choice seem out of reach for many companies.

ARPA-E SHARKS: new program to develop hydrokinetic turbines for tidal and riverine currents

Green Car Congress

These energy-producing devices are also uniquely suited for micro-grid applications, supplying energy to remote communities and utility-scale applications. This program seeks to fund new holistic HKT designs to reduce significantly their levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

percent of connectors were not working correctly due to problems with network connectivity, broken plugs, unresponsive screens, and faulty payment systems. About 5 percent of the connectors had cables that were too short to connect to the EV’s charging port and, therefore, did not work. A total of 22.7
