PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

The DC and fast charging infrastructures for BEVs are very expensive to construct [ 13 ] & operate, and are wasteful of electricity inversely to the square of charge time (meaning ½ the charge time 4 times the losses, and ⅓ the charge time 9 times the losses). PHEVLERs produce no tailpipe emissions in local driving.

The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 2

Driivz

When wind and sun are plentiful, excess clean energy can be stored in the batteries of EVs that are parked and connected to smart chargers. Stored energy is discharged from EV batteries at peak demand or when renewable energy availability is reduced. Vehicle and charger manufacturers need to provide hardware support for V2G.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

Q&A with electric truck expert Rustam Kocher Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles make up a small fraction of the vehicles on the road, but they generate a disproportionate amount of pollution. Therefore, electrifying them is critical to reducing emissions. However, the electric road ahead is not exactly clear. megawatt chargers?

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Air can be turned into a liquid by cooling it to around -196 °C using standard industrial equipment; 700 liters of ambient air becomes about 1 liter of liquid air, which can then be stored in an unpressurised insulated vessel. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.

The Essential Guide to EV Smart Charging and Smart Energy Management

Driivz

It optimizes energy consumption based on grid constraints, energy pricing, renewable energy availability, locally stored energy, preconfigured EV owner preferences, and driver needs. The energy from the EV batteries is available to the electric grid to serve peak needs, with the vehicles recharging during non-peak hours.
