Sandia, national lab partners studying vulnerabilities of electric vehicle charging infrastructure

Green Car Congress

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure has several vulnerabilities ranging from skimming credit card information—just like at conventional gas pumps or ATMs—to using cloud servers to hijack an entire electric vehicle charger network. We have been studying potential impacts to the power grid.

trafficThis scenario is highly desirable to automotive manufacturers, who harbor great concerns about battery warranty if vehicle-to-grid discharging is allowed. V2GFull varies not only the charging of the vehicle battery, but also can vary the discharging of the battery back into the power grid. Click to enlarge.

DOE issues $6M request for proposals for H2@Scale projects

Green Car Congress

The maximum individual total project cost is $1,000,000 per project; however, the target range for total project cost is expected to be from $50,000 to $300,000 per project. In 2016, DOE national laboratories identified the potential of hydrogen to decarbonize deeply a multitude of sectors in a proposal termed “H2@Scale”.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle with Long Electric Range (PHEVLER - pronounced “fevler”) is a new category emerging in the electric vehicle marketplace. 1 ] The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 miles (48 km), so PHEVLERs are vehicles with at least 60 miles (97 km) of electric range. and UC-Davis Emeritus and Bruce R.

The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. The transmission line will sidestep the growing difficulties of connecting renewable-energy sources to the power grid.
