DOE releases analysis of potential impacts of hyperloop technology on the grid

Green Car Congress

Because the system is powered by electricity, there is also potential for integrating a hyperloop system’s energy storage technologies with variable energy resources. DOE’s analysis assumed that a typical travel distance for a hyperloop system would lie within an “intercity” range, that is, between 100 to 1,000 miles.

Lucid Motors says Lucid Air to be the fastest charging EV yet; 900V+ architecture, up to 20 miles/minute charging

Green Car Congress

Lucid Motors announced the Lucid Air will be the fastest charging electric vehicle yet offered with the capability to charge at rates of up to 20 miles per minute. For owners charging their Lucid Air in real-world conditions on the road, that can translate into 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes of charging. On-the-road charging.

UC Irvine study concludes intelligent PEV charging can minimize scale of stationary energy storage needed to meet renewable targets

Green Car Congress

They found that for an 80% RPS in 2050, immediate charging of PEVs requires the installation of an aggregate energy storage system with a power capacity of 60% of the installed renewable capacity and an energy capacity of 2.3% With vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging, non-vehicle energy storage systems are no longer required.
