Electrify America unveils its first application of megawatt-level energy storage

Green Car Congress

The megawatt-level energy storage system combined with a solar canopy goes a step further than Electrify America’s existing BESS in managing energy costs and reducing stress on the grid by acting as a buffer to supplement power to charging stations when local utilities limit the amount of power a station can draw from the grid.

Electrify America has opened more than 500 EV charging stations to public; more than 2,200 ultra-fast chargers

Green Car Congress

The chargers utilize the fastest technology available today—providing speeds of up to 150kW and 350kW—to help reduce the amount of time spent charging. The company completed its first cross-country routes earlier this year, spanning 11 states and more than 2,700 miles to take drivers from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.

Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

They found that with high rates of electrification (40% of miles traveled) the petroleum-reduction benchmark could be satisfied, even with high travel demand growth. The researchers also considered intermediate (20% electric-powered miles) electrification—halfway between the high and low. Still, it is technically achievable.
