RMIT researchers demonstrate working rechargeable proton battery

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have demonstrated for the first time a working rechargeable “proton battery”. The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development, to store more energy than currently-available lithium ion batteries. Earlier post.)

Honda opens Smart Home US in California; produces more energy than it consumes; direct DC-DC EV charging

Green Car Congress

The home is also three times more water-efficient than a typical US home. A 10 kWh battery energy storage system in the garage, using the same lithium-ion cells that are used in the Honda Fit EV, allows stored solar energy to be used at night, when household demand typically peaks and electric vehicles are usually charged.

ARPA-E awarding $36M to 22 projects in RANGE program for transformative EV storage

Green Car Congress

ARPA-E’s RANGE program seeks to improve EV driving range and reduce vehicle costs by re-envisioning the total EV battery system, rather than working to increase the energy density of individual battery cells. EnZinc’s porous, sponge-like zinc component prevents battery failure and enables high-power charge and discharge. Description.

Mumbai - Kalaburagi - Mumbai : 1200 km trip in the MG ZS EV

Plug In India

Since my car was new and I had no practical data on how much my car could go on a single charge, I looked at some YouTube videos and assumed that the minimum range I could expect would be around 300kms at full charge. The orange ones are fast chargers (chargers charging 25kW and above). It was joy to see the car getting charged!
