And yet more air conditioning exacerbates the very problem—climate change—that is driving the need for more air conditioning. EnerVenue If you don’t discharge and then recharge them all the way, lithium-ion batteries can last for thousands of charge-discharge cycles. What to do? Two words: heat pumps.

Electric Car Charging. One of the biggest shifts from driving a gas car to an electric car is how the vehicle is refueled through electric car charging. Think about charging an electric car as similar to charging your smartphone, which like an electric car, is powered by lithium ion batteries.

Say Hello to Guest Blogger Alexis Ringwald - with this first dispatch from the Climate Change Caravan in India. The Climate Caravan includes ten friends and a solar music band, along with three solar plug-in electric Reva cars. The Revas are traveling 200km per charge on Lithium-Ion batteries (the solar adds 8km extra).

Emission reductions produced by the project are verified by an approved third party and registered with the Climate Action Reserve (Project ID CAR102 ). Our partnership with 3Degrees basically enables us to have a carbon-neutral car [the e-Golf] through manufacturing, distribution and the first three years of driving and charging.

In such an emergency, a bidirectional EV with charge to spare could come to the rescue. The system converted AC grid power to DC power to charge the battery and could also convert DC power from the battery to AC power that could feed both external stand-alone loads and the grid.

Yet, reliance on oil is the greatest immediate threat to US economic and national security, and also contributes to the long-term threat of climate change. Near-term improvements will likely be the result of improved lithium-ion batteries. Vehicle efficiency has the greatest short- to mid-term impact on oil consumption.
