CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

To compensate for the increased amounts of these inherently–variable sources of electricity, the power grid requires additional flexibility to manage fluctuations in generation. But allowing grid operators to control electric vehicle charging speed could reduce these costs further.

Why are some EV chargers more expensive than others?

Green Charging

We do not want to waste money on cheap, low-quality commodities. These chargers only require a single-phase connection. However if the property is fitted with a 3-phase connection type, then chargers up to 22kW become available. A charger of this kind communicates with an EV through a data connection.

Discover Le Havre, Where Impressionism Was Born

Baua Electric

A master of precast concrete, he used the cheap, plentiful material to build 150 residential blocks with identical modular frames, a rectangular grid system of streets, and wide sidewalks and boulevards. But a three-mile pedestrian and biking trail along the waterfront connects the town and the center of Le Havre.

Charged EVs

If you don’t build something like that, people can’t refer to it. This project is currently at the stage of conducting grid readiness assessments.] When your home was built or when the business next to you was built, they went to the utility and said, “I need a hookup to the grid.” So WattEV is going to offer truck-as-a-service.

How a Parachute Accident Helped Jump-start Augmented Reality

Cars That Think

In front of me, I see a large wooden board, painted black and punctuated by a grid of metal holes. Adjusted for inflation, they cost about US $8,000 and weren’t even a thousandth as fast as a cheap gaming computer today. The board is real. So is the peg in my hand that I’m trying to move from one hole to another, as fast as I can.
