Feature: How Expensive Is EV Maintenance?

Clean Fleet Report

All vehicles require some form of maintenance. That said, drivers will typically spend less on long-term maintenance than they would for an internal combustion engine (ICE) car over time. A bonus: Electric vehicles are much better for the environment. So, just how expensive is EV maintenance overall? Pay Less With EVs.

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

Green Car Congress

Projects are encouraged to apply concurrent (as opposed to sequential) design methodologies: control co-design, co-design, and designing for operation and maintenance. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. Tidal Power Tug - $4,500,000. Aquantis, Inc.

ARPA-E to award $27M for advanced nuclear reactor systems operational technology: GEMINA

Green Car Congress

GEMINA’s goal is to reduce fixed operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from ~13 $/MWh in the current fleet to ~2 $/MWh in the advanced fleet. These projects will work to develop digital twin technology to reduce O&M costs in the next generation of nuclear power plants. —ARPA-E Director Lane Genatowski.

How to solve the heat dissipation problem of high-power EV chargers?

Setec Powerr

Faster charging relies on a higher power, and current Extreme Fast Chargers (XFCs) can exceed 350kW or more. Such power generates a lot of heat, so how do we deal with this heat? Low cost, easy installation, high post maintenance cost. Higher installation cost, low failure rate, low post-maintenance cost.
