Bombardier selects Maxwell Technologies ultracapacitors for EnerGstor rail transit braking energy recuperation system

Green Car Congress

Reduce the number of traction power substations: For fleet expansion on existing transit systems, EnerGstor technology can reinforce the critical supply areas without requiring installation of new traction power substations. This heat warms tunnels and stations and must be managed through ventilation.

A question about bidirectional charging was also asked. Elon Musk noted that bidirectional charging is not that useful since Powerwall is better. The service’s rollout in Texas will include $30 charging at night for customers who sign up for Tesla Electric. He estimates 10 models or so should be enough.

Sakor: Hybrid and EV powertrain testing is key to reaping efficiency benefits

Green Car Congress

In addition, these vehicles often have several module control units (MCUs), essentially small onboard computers, which control the functions of such major subsystems as the engine, transmission, and charging system, among others. Many current designs operate at 800 volts or more, making the vehicles even more efficient.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Appendix E: PHEV and the Electrical Grid—fast charge v. slow charge. The potential is enormous because the current grid has sufficient energy capacity to supply every vehicle in the United States if every one of them was a PHEV. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Appendix F: Biofuel Issues.

Driven: Abarth 500e EV

EV Central

And while mainstream European brands like Renault and VW are planning performance versions of their coming small EVs, they’re years away from production. The liquid-cooled 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack is the same 42kWh (gross) capacity in the Fiat, but is upgraded to supply the higher current required by the more powerful motor.
