Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.

Never Recharge Your Consumer Electronics Again?

Cars That Think

One company that’s hoping to reduce our battery anxiety is Exeger , which wants to enable self-charging devices that convert ambient light into energy on the go. And if we could reduce or eliminate that problem, how would that actually influence the development of mobile and wearable tech beyond just not having to recharge as often?

DoD issues solicitation for range extender for future tactical electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

However, vehicles with only a single all-electric, battery-driven powertrain create range and recharging obstacles because of the inability to package the required amount of energy storage on board an existing tactical vehicle. Future fleets of tactical vehicles may largely incorporate battery electric drivetrains.

When (and How) Should You Use a DC EV Charger?

EV Connect

DC is the type stored in batteries. In North America, you’ll be able to fast-charge with a CCS plug, which now allows you to connect to Tesla Superchargers even if you’re not driving a Tesla. For example, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) cannot connect to DC stations. Not every vehicle is compatible with DC fast charging.

Renault Energy’s Sport F1 hybrid Power Unit; competing with intelligent energy management, not just power

Green Car Congress

This year, the power unit is divided into six separate elements: Engine (ICE); Motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K); Motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H); Energy store (ES); Turbocharger (TC); and Control electronics (CE). The MGU-K is connected to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine. The combination of the 1.6-liter
