The 80-20 Rule

Plug In Partners

O ften when I talk about Plug-Ins , I say that PHEV's are a perfect embodiment of the 80-20 rule. But in the case of the PHEV , the logic goes something like this: Roughly 80% of our daily trips are under 35 miles. Here's a piece of it: Why do PHEVs reduce greenhouse pollution ? And the remaining 20% are longer trips.

Penn State team devises solution for fast charging of Li-ion batteries at cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

Now, a team from Penn State has devised an approach that enables 15-min fast charging of Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at ?50 50 °C) while still preserving remarkable cycle life (4,500 cycles, equivalent to >12 y and >280,000 miles of EV lifetime), thus making EVs truly weather-independent. C charge at 10 °C and C/1.5
