MIT and IEA reports take different views of the future of natural gas in transportation

Green Car Congress

While compressed natural gas (CNG) will play a role, particularly for high-mileage fleets, the report suggests that the chemical conversion of gas into some form of liquid fuel may be the best pathway to significant market penetration. MIT: leaning toward conversion for light-duty vehicles. Natural gas to fuel conversion processes.

How ridesharing can help solve the challenge of urban EV ownership

Charged EVs

Revel aims to promote EV adoption in cities by solving two interrelated problems: The company’s rideshare fleet generates demand to justify the cost of installing DC fast chargers, and its charging Superhub ensures that the fleet stays charged, while also offering charging to the public. We’re building sites that have 10 to 25 plugs.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. And even greater ranges can be expected soon.

The Reality of Fast Charging for Electric Vehicles

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Let’s consider a simple example, say an EV conversion that has a 120V pack and a range of around 30 miles. An EV like this would need to store 6KWHrs of power in the batteries if we assume the system is 100% efficient. The cost of putting these on major freeways would be very high but the technology already exists.
