Next 10-UC Berkeley study suggests additional tax revenue or income-based rate structure to make electricity more affordable for Californians

Green Car Congress

These high prices result from uncommonly large fixed costs that are bundled into kilowatt-hour prices and passed on to customers. What Californians pay is much higher than the true marginal cost of using electricity. This puts an unnecessary cost burden on low- and middle-income households as we transition to using clean electricity.

NIST Technology Program Announces Up To $71M in Funding for 20 Research Projects; New Silicon Nanowire Electrode Project and A123Systems Project on Second-Generation Electrodes and Manufacturing

Green Car Congress

The goals for advancing new nanomaterials were detailed in a white paper, “ Accelerating the Incorporation of Materials Advances into Manufacturing Processes ”. Since capital equipment and facilities are primary factors in the cost of electrode materials, increasing throughput offers the best leverage for cost reduction.

Amazon Vies for Nuclear-Powered Data Center

Cars That Think

Data center operators are also exploring energy options from solar and wind , but these energy sources would have a difficult time matching the constancy of nuclear, even with grid storage to help even out their supply. This results in a “zero-emissions shell game,” Clark wrote in a white paper on the subject.

WattEV aims to operate 12,000 electric trucks-as-a-service and a charging network to support them by 2030

Charged EVs

California-based WattEV is building a network of charging hubs designed for electric trucks, incorporating solar generation, battery storage and active energy management. On the solar field, we were originally looking at single-axis tracking, but as we dug into it, we saw that it becomes very costly. Salim: Yeah. Salim: Absolutely.

Demand Charges: The Secret Cost to EV Charging

EV Connect

I don’t think any of us — except, perhaps, those lucky enough to have solar panels — enjoy getting our electric bill. In fact, the Great Plains Institute white paper cited above concluded that, for property owners that suffer demand charges, it can be extremely difficult to turn a profit on EV chargers if you have level 3 chargers.
