The smart technology determines which vehicle needs the most charge and meters out the power. The $31-million project is funded in large part through federalgrants. The US Department of Energy provided $5 million through a grant with the Western Washington Clean Cities Coalition. An additional $3.5
Our flexible production lines are geared-up to build multi new generation Li-ion technologies to address energy storage markets but also a much broader range of applications including broadband backup power, transportation and defense. —Dan Miller, Jacksonville operations manager.
To encourage consumer purchases of electric vehicles, federalgrants and other funds have been awarded to install more than 15,000 home charge stations. For the first 40 miles, Volt is powered by pure electricity, without using gasoline or producing tailpipe emissions.
The Sunverge SIS will provide improvements in power quality and economy while the system will benefit from peak load reduction, demand response participation and a decline in greenhouse gas emissions. —Sunverge Energy President Ken Munson.
million in federalgrant funding under the stimulus package. Ener1 says the plan will significantly reduce its debt and provide up to $81 million to recapitalize itself to support its long-term business objectives and strategic plan. In 2009, Ener1 subsidiary EnerDel received $118.5
On select delivery and service routes, studies show that customers of the electric vans will save up to $15,000 per vehicle annually compared with traditionally powered walk-in vans. FCCC initiated our all-electric project well before stimulus money and federalgrants were available for alternative-power transportation projects.
billion in federalgrant monies awarded to accelerate the manufacturing and deployment of hybrid electric vehicles and new-generation batteries for a project to develop, validate, and deploy 220 advanced plug-in hybrid electric pickups and minivans. Power management will be one of the key challenges in this development?
Powered by Tesla Motors’ lithium-ion batteries, the chassis is 100% electric, including the HVAC system. The all-electric chassis also was initiated before stimulus money and federalgrants were available for alternative-fuel transportation projects.
Metro will test the performance and efficiency of the new technology for up to a year on local streets and roads to determine whether battery-electric buses can be a future replacement option for its remaining diesel-powered coaches. million federalgrant. The three battery buses were paid for in part with a $4.7
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) also has signed an LOI to provide USPS integration tools. Each has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Chrysler to equip post offices in strategically selected regions of the United States with a charging infrastructure for the envisioned program.
The Program provides federalgrants to units of local government, Indian tribes, states, and territories to reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and for improvements in energy efficiency. billion) will be distributed through formula grants. Most of the EECBG funding (nearly $2.7
However, affordable access to clean transportation can face additional challenges for underserved tribal communities, including power availability, investment potential, and community buy-in. Cost-sharing among the project partners supports the remaining costs not covered by the federalgrant.
The four companies receiving the tax credits and announcing plant plans are Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Power Solutions LLC; KD Advanced Battery Group LLC; A123Systems Inc.; and LG Chem-Compact Power Inc. Project details include: Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Power Solutions LLC ( JCS ). - LG Chem- Compact Power.
Yet, the basic question for Federalgrant administrators, in our opinion, was whether grant funding should have continued or suspended once it became clear that: (i) all the promised production lines could not be completed within budget; and, (ii) LG Chem Michigan would continue to fill US demand with battery cells made in South Korea.
Mike Easley said Tuesday that, depending on the support from federalgrants, the state may give $5 million to start and $1 million annually to operate the Advanced Transportation Energy Center there. may also join the program as researchers seek to develop lighter and safer vehicles that the batteries can power.
Photo: Electrify America Virginia is handing out $11.295 million in federalgrants to install 18 NEVI-compliant EV chargers – here’s where they’re going. This week, the Virginia Department of Transportation (DOT) announced the first round of National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) federalgrant winners.
We’re also working to make sure that we can start turning things like plants and woodchips into heat, power, and biofuels, and that will create new economic opportunities for rural communities. In addition, technical assistance to accessing federalgrants and loan programs should be readily and easily available. President Obama.
What I mean by that is there seems to be an insatiable appetite to spend as much money as possible on the most powerful EV chargers with little consideration for charging use cases and dwell time, utilization, customer experience, uptime, accountability, and perhaps most importantly — return on taxpayer dollars.
Part of a pilot program between Honda, Alabama Power , and Virginia Transportation Corp., the new electric semi truck will help stakeholders gather data about the practicality and performance of the battery-powered Pete and use it to generate case studies for broader electrification initiatives.
