“Energiewende” in a tank; Audi e-fuels targeting carbon-neutral driving with synthetic fuels from renewables, H2O and CO2; Swiss policy test case

Green Car Congress

Underneath the e-fuels banner, Audi also includes renewable electricity for recharging its e-tron vehicles (“e-power”) and, should the market so require it, “green” hydrogen (e-hydrogen, derived in the e-gas process). The Audi e-gas plant can convert 6MW of input power. The process to convert isobutene to isooctane is well-established.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

And yet, what about recharging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS. Importantly, Tesla is about to offer a converter that allows Teslas to use CCS charging sites. Right now, my Subaru Impreza, with its 14.5

In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. A completely depleted battery is recharged in this way within nine hours. e-instruments.
