Next 10 report finds California must increase GHG reductions to 4.9%/year through 2030 to meet target

Green Car Congress

This year’s Index finds that 2018 greenhouse gas emissions—the latest year for which data are available—rose overall for the first time since 2012, driven in part by increases in the power and commercial sectors. Despite the economic impacts induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, total clean tech investment through mid-August 2020 ($2.8

DOE to award $30M for research to secure domestic supply chain of critical elements and minerals

Green Car Congress

Roughly 35 elements serve as key components to several clean-energy and high-tech applications: magnets in wind turbines, batteries in electric and conventional vehicles, phosphors in energy-efficient lighting and displays, and catalysts for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. —Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm.

How to improve EV traction motor efficiency

Charged EVs

For example, torque is proportional to magnetic flux intensity, which itself is proportional to the product of current and the number of turns in each armature winding, so doubling the number of turns cuts the required current to produce the same torque in half. Resistive losses aren’t just a problem at high torque (i.e.
