With the rise of the on-demand economy, there’s been a rapid increase in the use of petrol-powered mopeds for urban deliveries such as take-away meals, and this has contributed to air quality issues in our cities.
This technology allows electric vehicles to charge their batteries or be powered directly, while being driven, and would allow vehicles with demanding duty cycles to switch from petrol or diesel to being electric. Credit: Carlos Jones, ORNL/US Dept. of Energy.
Unlike petrol cars where filling up requires a trip to the petrol station, you can recharge at home or anywhere with access to electricity. Most major petrol companies have also installed EV chargers at many of their sites. EV charging vs. petrol costs. Short-range EV trips. Cost of EV maintenance.
For example, using SETEC POWER’s 180kW fast charger , EVs can be charged from 0-80% in just 10 minutes. Since 2020, over 5000 petrol stations have closed in the UK, signaling the onset of a paradigm shift. Charging hubs can be built on existing petrol stations premises like Shells or as standalone stations.
At this point, no one is wondering whether EVs are here to stay, but how soon will we get rid of petrol vehicles? In fact, before burning petrol, most vehicles ran on electric batteries. The first batteries could power vehicles to “neck-breaking” speeds of up to 14 mph. Electric cars are much older. Miles Ahead.
The company at its petrol pumps will not only cater to petrol and diesel but also methanol, ethanol, CNG, LNG, battery-swapping services and electric vehicle charging facilities. The battery made with aluminium will have the capability to run about 400 km. The IOC is also talking with OEMs regarding its battery plants.
Almost every intersection has one or two gas/petrol stations, so drivers generally make their choice on price – unless they have a strong relationship with a specific vendor due to their membership in the loyalty club/credit card holder. Unlike pricing per liter or gallon of gasoline/petrol, pricing for EV charging is more complex.
Let’s face it, the powergrid is always down in the murky setting of a post nuclear zombie movie or game. The petrol stations are all fire, blowing black smoke into the atmosphere and if the zombies don’t kill you first, the poisonous smog and air quality certainly will! Second Place – Rivian R1T Pickup.
The Evolution of EV Plug Types Travel around the world and you’ll soon realize that each continent (sometimes each country) seems to have its own plug to connect devices to the powergrid. If you want to use your devices abroad, you’ll typically need an adapter or even a transformer to draw power.
The utility.will get a Ford plug-in hybrid vehicle by the end of this year and as many as 20 by some time in 2009 to test their durability, range and impact on the powergrid, said Susan M. But Fukui said he saw no significant value in researching plug-in hybrid models, which can be recharged by connecting to a power plug.
With the introduction of the Clean Car Discount in 2022, the skyrocketing prices of petrol and diesel across the country and the increasing number of electric vehicles available in New Zealand, we are seeing more EVs on our roads than ever before. Petrol and diesel vehicles both use internal combustion engines (ICEs). THE BOTTOM LINE.

French construction company Bouygues Immobilier is working on an office in Meudon, western Paris, which uses 4,000 square metres of solar panels to meet not only its own energy needs but also to export surplus energy back to the powergrid. — AH2 14.
