This can provide power equivalent to that used at peak day-time periods by a 20-person office space (250m 2 ) over four hours. Recharging can be carried out at night during periods of lower power demand and then used at peak times during the day, thus alleviating pressure on the power grid at peak consumption times.

If equipment costs were lower, they say, they would install more recharging stations. It could be a virtuous circle: The recharge businesses would do better, EV owners would benefit, and more people would consider buying an EV. The function of the port is to convert AC power from the grid into DC, which is then applied to the battery.

The EV industry is focusing on the personal car market, trying to make the range as large as possible. We found plenty of times during the day when a portion of taxis could slip off to recharge, even if just for a few minutes. The standard now is 200 miles. We suspected you wouldn’t need as much for taxis.

But the cars and SUVs used in these situations drive more miles each year than a typical personal vehicle, contributing a higher proportion of greenhouse gases to the environment. The analysis indicated that electrified fleets had 40-45% lower greenhouse gas costs per trip compared to the gasoline-powered version.

The simplest recharging option is to plug the charging cable supplied with the car into a conventional 230-volt socket. The battery is then charged from the grid at a power level of 2.3 A completely depleted battery is recharged in this way within nine hours. The battery is then 80% recharged after just 30 minutes.
