Cars That Think

OCTOBER 26, 2021

And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. Like a lot of people, I've been thinking about trading in my car. And yet, what about recharging?

Alternatively, may we suggest the sound of the neighborhood ice cream truck? This is especially important for electric and hybrid vehicles which can be difficult to hear at lower speeds due to their drive mechanism. Basically, the external ESS is a system that produces artificial vehicle noise.

Mack’s first foray into electrification was in the 2000s, when it built a couple of diesel hybrid garbage trucks. Again, it really depends, but in the neighborhood of between 70 and 100 miles. Route length really depends, but in the neighborhood of between 70 and 100 miles. In New York City, it really hasn’t been their routes.

Aiming to boost confidence in battery-powered cars by ensuring drivers can always find somewhere to plug in, grants included in the infrastructure law will help states build a charging network designed to reach highways in almost every corner of the country. The problems of charging electric vehicles today.

High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. However, the high power requirements of these vehicles mean that vehicle designers face unique technical challenges, especially when it comes to circuit protection. I’m pretty convinced that’s a 2035 problem.

EV Adoption

JUNE 12, 2022

While I was aware of this trend — I see it loud and clear in my own neighborhood — I hadn’t realized how wide-spread this trend actually was in the US. I’ve long talked about how one of the major hurdles to EV adoption in the US is that roughly 40 percent of US households don’t have convenient access to EV charging overnight where they live.

The battery is charged through a plug-in port offering three basic charging speeds. 120V (typical household plug, Level 1) Adds two-to-three miles of range per hour 240V (Level 2) As little as 7.5 hours to full charge from fully depleted 480V DC Fast Charging To 80 percent charge in 38 minutes or less (from five percent).
