DOE releases Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap; 44% reduction in manufactured cost for 300-mile EV pack by 2030

Green Car Congress

billion into energy storage research and development—$400 million per year, on average. While technology offices have established individual goals and targets, the Department has never had a comprehensive strategy to address energy storage. Over the last four fiscal years (FY17–20), DOE has invested more than $1.6

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [ 1 ] The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 miles (48 km), so PHEVLERs are vehicles with at least 60 miles (97 km) of electric range. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

in the past few years important factors have emerged that are re-accelerating the commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Southern California) with 100 stations would be enough to bring hydrogen costs to competitiveness with gasoline on a cost per-mile basis. —“The Hydrogen Transition”. Transition issues.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

Furthermore, the case for electric trucks and buses would seem to be an easy one to make. million miles. million miles, so the engineering that goes into making those vehicles be able to perform and last that long has to apply to the battery pack as well. Therefore, electrifying them is critical to reducing emissions.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Yet whenever we troublemakers raised this issue, we were told not to worry – it would resolve itself, they said, either because wind is usually blowing somewhere, or through the development of electricity storage in giant battery farms. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades.

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

Green Car Congress

A new new forum for the advocacy and development of liquid air as an alternative technology to harness waste and surplus energy within power and transport—the Liquid Air Energy Network (LAEN)—has formed in the UK. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.
