Daimler forms electrified coach project ELCH

Green Car Congress

Requirements for long-range transport, flexibility in use, battery charging on the go, high payloads and the space required for passengers and luggage are indispensable and in part contradictory. This will be recorded systematically for the first time in the project and serve as a reference dimension for the design of the drivetrains.

4 Ways to Keep Your Battery Lasting Longer

Electra Vehicles

With the rise in production of lithium-ion batteries, , projected to soar over the next decade from about 700 GWh in 2022 to around 4.7 TWh by 2030, batteries are poised to play an even larger part of our lives. But what will happen when these batteries reach the end of their usable life?

A novel method for energy efficient warmup of lithium-ion batteries from sub-zero temperatures using predictive control

Green Car Congress

The same requirement holds true for battery-powered devices or vehicles. The Lithium-ion battery has emerged as the current “battery of choice” for automotive hybrid and electric vehicle applications. However, low battery charging currents are needed to avoid lithium plating at low temperatures.

OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

A team at the Ohio State University has developed a membrane that regulates bi-directional ion transport across it as a function of its redox state and that could be used as a programmable smart membrane separator in future supercapacitors and redox flow batteries. plugin EVs to Tesla’s 85 kWh battery pack).

Why L. Ron Hubbard Patented His E-Meter

Cars That Think

His first story, “ The Dangerous Dimension ,” was a light-hearted tale about a professor who could teleport anywhere in the universe simply by thinking “Equation C.” Touretzky , a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, maintains an extensive website critiquing the E-meter. In his patents (see, for example, U.S.

All reference car configurations except the diesel use gasoline engines, because the. and cheaper engines and battery packs. They used Li-ion batteries with a cost of €960/kWh in 2010, and assumed this reduces to €800 /kWh around 2015, and to €400/kWh in the more distant future. Abatement cost using battery powered cars are.

UCR team’s new evolutionary-algorithm-based EMS for PHEVs can deliver >30% fuel savings than conventional controls

Green Car Congress

Engineers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a new online energy management system (EMS) based on an evolutionary algorithm for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that they say can improve PHEV fuel efficiency by more than 30%. Broadly, existing EMS for PHEVs are either rule-based or optimization-based.
