Myers’s NmG—or no more gas—is a three-wheel, one-seat vehicle that can travel up to 75 mph and as far as 50 miles in its lithium-battery model. Bright Automotive.
“The slimming of the battery essentially comes because of a focus on weight, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, new construction materials and other design factors, he said in an interview. How can you quickly improve the performance of the battery in an electric car? By Michael Kanellos, for Greentech Media. by: Michael Kanellos.
And at the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric, utility executives are preparing “heat maps” of neighborhoods that they fear may overload the power grid in their exuberance for electric cars.&#. If you just allow willy-nilly random charging, are we going to have neighborhood blackouts?” asked Mr. Tang, the utility executive.
Priority given to recently closed facilities or facilities in danger of closing SEC 133 Inclusion of Electric Drive in Energy Policy Act of 1992 Adds PHEVs, hybrids, and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles to list of those vehicles receiving credit under Epact fleet requirements.
With the continuing improvement in battery technology, we can expect that distance to increase over time. MYTH 3: As more people buy EVs, utilities won’t be able to supply enough power to buildings or neighborhoods and homes for EV charging. MYTH 2: EV drivers suffer from range anxiety.
Publicity magnet Tesla said it delivered its first battery-electric Semi tractor on December 1. It had a 264 kWh battery pack powering the tractor’s twin motors with more than 4,000 lb-ft of torque and a range estimated at up to 150 miles.

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. AFP/Getty Images.
The facility is nice, but it means nothing without a fleet of battery-electric trucks plugging-in on a daily basis. Initially Daimler Truck North America’s Freightliner eCascadia and Volvo Trucks North America’s VNR Electric trucks will make-up a fleet of 50 battery-electric Class 8 trucks in the JETSI project.
If someone only spends $100 with me yearly to charge their vehicle at one of my high-speed chargers, I’m still probably going to see in the neighborhood of an additional $400 or $500 in home charging. And in fact, we’ve had good conversations with bp pulse and with Shell Recharge in our service territory. Factor at a rate of 0.33
The Niro isn’t plugged in to recharge the battery but does have a very efficient regenerative charging system that converts kinetic energy into electric energy, when applying the brakes or coasting, and stores it in the battery. Where the Niro comes up a bit short is on the highway where road imperfections can be felt.
We’ve also got two Black Friday EV sales, with the first coming from Vvolt , which is offering up to $1,099 in savings on e-bikes and accessories – including free extra battery promos with an e-bike purchase starting from $1,799. This is a solid 40% markdown that slashes $180 off the price tag and drops it to the lowest price we have tracked.

What makes school bus fumes especially dangerous is that they often end up making their way into the vehicle cabins , schoolyards and playgrounds, and residential neighborhoods. NIEHS goes on to say that air pollution is also linked to cancers, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other disorders.
neighborhoods and business districts. Battery technology will catch up and improve what utilities and drivers can do with V2G, but utilities shouldn’t wait to start building these programs. And, in an EV-heavy future, they’ve also plugged in their car for a recharge. They can apply the same logic and systems to EV charging, too.
The chromoly steel frame houses a 630Wh battery that juices the Shimano STEPS EP-8 motor to reach up to 20 MPH with its pedal assistance support (but there are no throttles here).

But those suckers start at $15k, and the price jumps to $25k when you add doors and a lithium-ion battery upgrade. Err, actually, I probably shouldn’t call them “cars”. Sure, I love me a nice GEM.
While I was aware of this trend — I see it loud and clear in my own neighborhood — I hadn’t realized how wide-spread this trend actually was in the US. In cold temperatures EV batteries take longer to charge and are less efficient, and will see reduced range as drivers turn up their heaters and seat warmers. Volker, Calvin G.
EV charging software manages much more than just topping up the battery in an electric vehicle. More advanced, smart charging stations accommodate the characteristics of different vehicle batteries, enable charging sessions and communicate with back-end/infrastructure software hosted in the cloud for more advanced capabilities.
