Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

However, much like a phone battery degrades after multiple recharge cycles, lithium-ion batteries degrade quickly when charging and discharging at this high rate. This makes the grid see a consistent load, but it also wastes energy doing unnecessary work.

Hyundai Inster priced: It’s the cheapest non-Chinese EV you can buy in Australia today, but still $10K more than a BYD Dolphin

EV Central

The optimistically named Inster Extended Range upgrades to an 84.5kW/147Nm e-motor, a 49kWh battery pack and a 360km claimed range between recharges. Hyundai says the Inster can recharge from 10-80 per cent in 30 minutes. Exterior paint is recycled from waste tyres. All claims are to the WLTP standard.

Kirklees Council Begins Operation of All-Electric Waste Van Recharged with Waste-Generated Electricity

Green Car Congress

Kirklees Council (UK) has begun operating an all-electric waste collection van which is recharged with electricity generated partly with the waste it collects. Waste collected from the bins will be taken to the Energy from Waste (EfW) plant at Emerald Street, Huddersfield. The Edison. Click to enlarge.

Goodyear ReCharge regenerating-tire concept aims to cut waste

Green Car Reports

The Goodyear ReCharge tire concept features a tread that can be replenished using fluid-filled capsules. Goodyear has developed a "self-generating" designed to extend the life of tires, as well as make them more adaptable to different conditions. So instead of replacing the whole tire, only the tread is replaced.

Penn State researchers develop thermally regenerative ammonia battery (TRAB) for efficient waste heat recovery

Green Car Congress

To “recharge”, the TRAB uses low-grade waste heat from an outside source. The researchers distill ammonia from the effluent left in the battery anolyte and then recharge it into the original cathode chamber of the battery. Batteries Waste Heat Recovery' Then the reaction stops. Power was restored to 126 ± 5 W m ?2

MIT/Stanford team refines TREC battery for harvesting low-grade waste heat

Green Car Congress

In May, researchers at MIT and Stanford University reported the development of new battery technology for the conversion of low-temperature waste heat into electricity in cases where temperature differences are less than 100 ?Celsius. Batteries Waste Heat Recovery' A vast amount of low-grade heat ( —Yang et al.
