A study by a team at MIT has concluded that roughly 90% of the personal vehicles on the road in the US could be replaced by an electric vehicle available on the market today, even if the cars can only charge overnight. Reed Faculty Initiatives Fund, and the MIT Energy Initiative. The study, he says, is both “interesting and useful.”.

The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced. The novel pathway will use hydrogen gas to convert carbon dioxide into C-2 and C-4 compounds that will serve as precursors to biofuels, such as butanol. Harvard, Univ. of Delaware).

On the other hand, drivers of other vehicles waste considerable time making special trips to refuel their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at the liquid fuel station or their battery electric vehicle (BEV) at the rapid recharging station. Slow Level 1 charging [ 11 ] should be used to recharge PHEVLER batteries whenever possible.

Scaringe—a bespectacled mechanical engineer with a PhD from MIT—a billionaire by the age of 38. That cargo bed features a built-in air compressor to “air down” tires for off-road traction, then refill them without a portable compressor or a cautious trip to a gas station—a place the Rivian will only visit for coffee or bathroom stops.

The Karma, a luxury four-passenger sedan, can be recharged by plugging it in; it can then be driven on power from a battery alone for 50 miles. After that, an onboard gasoline generator kicks on to recharge the battery, extending the range by 250 miles between fill-ups. It takes the Volt about 9 seconds.)

For the standard version, Tesla plans to use a battery that can recharge at a typical 220V outlet in about four hours. Earlier this month, researchers from MIT said they had developed a process that within three years could lead to electric car batteries able to recharge in as little as five minutes.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles. Interesting in any case.
