ABB wins 1st commercial order for 600 kW 15-second flash charging technology; electric buses in Geneva

Green Car Congress

Although the high-power (600kW, 20s) charging of the high-power density batteries on the bus could result in load peaks affecting the local grid, the flash charger station flattens out the demand by charging batteries located on the wayside over a period of a few minutes while drawing a lower current from the grid.

E-Motor Enables Chain-Free Bike-by-Wire

Cars That Think

Bike by wire physically de-links two kinetic systems: the turning pedals and the powering wheel on a bike. They are instead linked by a controller, an electronic brain, which directs power to either battery or hub motor. Each hub can each generate 113 newton-meters of torque on the axle, powering it ahead. Simplicity.

2020 EV Charging Infrastructure Best-in-Test: Rating the DC fast charging user experience

Charged EVs

If EVs are to replace fossil-fuel vehicles, they need to be able to make long highway trips, which means that DC fast charging needs to be reliable, convenient, affordable and ubiquitous. Is the available charging power suitable for the location? Is charging power and other information provided before, during and after charging?

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

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. This is not something you would do at home. There are multiple vehicles out there.
