PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ 15 ] Electric power grids are designed with capacity to serve the highest power peaks demanded (e.g. Using these times for car battery charging, a typical household electrical infrastructure could support 3 or more PHEVLERs.

Coulomb Racks Up Series of Charging Infrastructure Wins

Green Car Congress

The City of Amsterdam plans to deploy 200 charging stations before 2012, and expects the charging stations to fuel 10,000 electric cars in 2015. KHLim also has its own energy grid to which the ChargePoint charging stations are connected. KHLim’s CO 2 neutral area produces its own green energy through wind, heat and solar.

What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology and How Does It Work?

EV Connect

Transitioning our transportation infrastructure to a fully electric model is an urgent task. Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Just to drive 100 miles, the average electric vehicle (EV) uses the same amount of electricity that it takes to power a typical U.S. home for a day.

SAE International publishes new J2954 wireless charging standard

Green Car Congress

SAE kicked off its pioneering pre-competitive research at a time when few contemporary electric cars existed and wireless power transfer (WPT) systems for EVs were an unproven concept. The technology is a safe and efficient method for transferring power from the AC grid supply to the electric vehicle. SAE J2954).

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

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 In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

The EV Transition Explained: Converting Gasoline Superusers

Cars That Think

Getting Wyomingites into EVs, considering there were only 456 electric cars and light trucks registered statewide as of March 2022, with 95 being non-Tesla vehicles, will be tricky. Wyoming gasoline superusers and others in states like Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota are likely to have additional concerns about buying EVs.
