The cycle-specific deviations of diesel vehicles are generally lower and show a different pattern. Source: ICCT.
One megawatt is pretty useful; it can power 500-1,000 homes or replace diesel generators for remote applications. We have never done that before; we’d always gone to the load banks. You can draw a pretty clear line from the work we’re doing at 10 kilowatts to about one megawatt. Our industry partners are targeting 1- to 5-megawatt systems.
As expected, the combination of fewer diesel registrations and more SUVs continued to have an impact on emissions. Despite an increase of EV models contributing positively to emission levels, the move away from diesel had a negative impact, one that the market could not offset. BEVs for every diesel car registered.
