How Efficient Is Your EV? It’s Complicated

Cars That Think

But the efficiency equation is more complicated than that because, unlike petrol pumps, recharging stations do not transfer energy perfectly. The car will then know how much electricity was consumed, along with how much of that its batteries managed to store. For them, recharge efficiency might be just as important as MPGe rating.

Berkeley Lab researchers use ion bombardment to create ultrahigh energy density capacitor

Green Car Congress

Capacitors that rapidly store and release electric energy are key components in modern electronics and power systems. However, the most commonly used ones have low energy densities compared to other storage systems such as batteries or fuel cells, which in turn cannot discharge and recharge rapidly without sustaining damage.

Sandia Labs and HHC partner to design metal hydride hydrogen storage system for forklifts

Green Car Congress

Plus, they no longer have to purchase battery rechargers or dedicate space for recharging. Instead, companies can simply purchase and store hydrogen tanks as needed. If we can provide a storage system that meets the target refueling time at, say, 500 psi, companies can get a break in the up-front costs.
