Smith said its decision to locate a facility in Chicago was influenced by the Mayor’s innovative voucher system created to accelerate the conversion from diesel to zero-emission, all-electric commercial vehicles, the large number of fleets interested in vehicle electrification, and the development incentives made available to Smith.

While compressed natural gas (CNG) will play a role, particularly for high-mileage fleets, the report suggests that the chemical conversion of gas into some form of liquid fuel may be the best pathway to significant market penetration. MIT: leaning toward conversion for light-duty vehicles. Tcf/year, equivalent to 1.3

There is a concerted effort to make transportation more environmentally friendly, including using more environmentally sustainable fuel in commercial airliners. For locations as complex as airports, where multiple types of chargers will likely be needed, a battery energy storage (BES) system may also be beneficial for cost cutting.

Conversely, the Toyota BZ4x, which had claimed second place in March (with 1,016 units), seems to be suffering from international logistics irregularities (à la Tesla-of-old), and was back down to 225 units (and 12th spot) in April. Yet this is unlikely to put a noticeable dent in Norway’s EV transition in the medium to long term.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In It is much more than that.

The REEACH program objective is to develop a disruptive system to convert the chemical energy contained in energy-dense carbon neutral liquid fuels (CNLFs) into electric power for aircraft propulsion via electric powertrains and other key systems. (Successful projects may proceed to Phase II subject to budgetary restrictions.).

Let’s consider a simple example, say an EV conversion that has a 120V pack and a range of around 30 miles. The cost of putting these on major freeways would be very high but the technology already exists. I have never been a big fan of battery swapping. This would give the EV almost unlimited range over any freeway system so equipped.

By contrast, the last time BYD executives traveled to the Detroit auto show they rented a suburban house to save the cost of hotel rooms. This attention to costs is one reason that BYD has made money consistently even as it has expanded into new businesses. Near the end of our conversation, I ask Wang about the company name.
