Canada-based Rapid Electric Vehicles (REV) has begun production of four converted electric bi-directional charging Ancillary Power Vehicles (APVs) ( earlier post ) as part of the US Army Tank Automotive Research Development Engineering Center (TARDEC) Micro-Grid project at Wheeler Air Base, Hawaii.

In one-directional charging, alternating current (AC) electricity is converted to direct current (DC) energy that’s stored in an EV battery to power the car. This conversion can happen within the charger or in the vehicle, depending on which device is equipped with a converter. This can further reduce your utility costs.

You can quickly convert watts (W) to kilowatts (kW) by diving your wattage by 1,000: 1,000W 1,000 = 1 kW. The total output energy produced by a solar system, as well as the amount stored in solar batteries is measured this way. And kWh refers to how much energy a vehicle can store. The Kilowatt. The Kilowatt-Hour.

The all-wheel steering and Crab Walk could come in handy when trying to slip into a tight parking spot at the store, so don’t shy away from using it. When driving, charging is accomplished through regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy into electric energy when applying the brakes or coasting and stores it in the battery.

And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies. But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS.

All electric motors used by Audi are liquid-cooled, so as to maintain their reliable operating temperature of at most 180 °C (356 °F). A pulse-controlled inverter transforms the DC to AC voltage as required by the electric motor. The interior of the power electronics attains temperatures considerably higher than 100°C (212 °F).
