IBM and EKZ partner to make plug-in charging more convenient with new smartphone application

Green Car Congress

The device, roughly the size of a phonebook, was installed in several electric vehicles, including a Renault Twingo to collect information on the vehicle’s battery charge level, location and the power source. With this project we can show how electric vehicles can create a balance between supply and demand for smarter energy grids.

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Some types of lithium mining require a lot of water and energy and have led to local pollution, such as in South America’s alpine lakes. The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

However, research conducted by the European Energy Agency states that “even when we account for the source of electricity generation, electric cars emit approximately 17-30% less carbon than gasoline or diesel cars.” Additionally, switching to cleaner energy sources further reduces the environmental impact of generating electricity.

Greenlings: Benefits of charging stations vs. battery swaps vs. home charging

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Giving drivers the convenience of charging their vehicles when they are away from home, charge stations have already been with us for some time and are now being installed in at a quickening pace. Beware of businessmen trying to make a fortune with the wish to shift to cleaner propulsion! Finally, there are charging stations.
