DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. The turbine will be designed for power delivery to remote and local grids.

Factor in V2G Revenue When Planning Fleet Electrification

Driivz

EVs of all classes offer fleet owners significant advantages over internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. They are quieter, cleaner, have better acceleration, and cost less to keep running because electricity is cheaper than diesel and EVs require less maintenance than their ICE counterparts. How much revenue?

kWh Billing and New EV Charging Tax Policies: What You Need to Know

Blink Charging

As both EV adoption increases and internal combustion engine vehicles have become more fuel efficient, states are seeking to offset lost revenue from the gas tax. Just as conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars measure fuel by the gallon, EV owners measure their energy consumption in kWh.

US DOE Awards $37 Million for Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Development

Green Car Congress

This is a unique approach that seeks to replace lower efficiency, high maintenance, long-stroke linear generator systems. Eliminating these subsystems reduces both capital and operations and maintenance costs and improves turbine reliability. The project will assess the cost of manufacturing these systems at various scales.
