How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. mph” in the United States. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact. Why does this matter?

New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

The high-resolution E3SM earth system model simulates the strongest storms with surface winds exceeding 150 mph—hurricanes that leave cold wakes that are 2 to 4 degrees Celsius cooler than their surroundings. The E3SM release will include model code and documentation, as well as output from an initial set of benchmark simulations.

Three Battery-Electric Opel Merivas to Participate in MeRegioMobil Research Project; Vehicle-to-Grid Integration

Green Car Congress

The research project has the goal of integrating electrical vehicles as mobile energy storage units in the future intelligent power grid (smart grid). The demonstration will also explore the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability of the car via the bi-directional charging system when the car is not in use and the driver permits it.
