Groupe Renault creating first European factory dedicated to the circular economy of mobility in Flins

Green Car Congress

The circular economy model implemented in Flins will be based on a set of complementary and convergent loops, aimed at encouraging the use of a vehicle instead of its ownership; extending its life through maintenance; and reusing it or reusing its components for other uses, when other solutions are no longer possible.

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

By the 1950s, the grid was moving electricity across time zones and national borders, tying in diverse sources of supply and demand. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. In such an emergency, a bidirectional EV with charge to spare could come to the rescue.

Profile: Li-ion Provider Compact Power, Inc. Focusing on the Automotive and Vehicle Markets

Green Car Congress

In Li-ion batteries, Li ions (Li + ) leave the cathode during charging and move through the electrolyte and separator to intercalate into the anode. As the technology gets fixed, the anode is more of an issue related to fast charge. Generic Li-ion cell and various component technologies. The reverse happens on discharge.

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

Green Car Congress

Appendix C: Intricacies of the Grid—transfer of power vs. energy. Appendix E: PHEV and the Electrical Grid—fast charge v. slow charge. Human culture, with its voracious desire for heat and energy—combined with a population expanding exponentially—poses a catastrophe without historical parallel.

WattEV aims to operate 12,000 electric trucks-as-a-service and a charging network to support them by 2030

Charged EVs

Now that phase is over, and companies are starting to place substantial orders, but they’re running into another hurdle—charging infrastructure needs to be built out, and managing it is a complex affair. These megawatt charging sites will be open to all fleet operators. These megawatt charging sites will be open to all fleet operators.
