The Electric Circuit is very pleased to announce that two 400-V fast-charge stations are now available to electric vehicle owners in Québec thanks to the support of Nissan Canada and under partnership agreements with AddÉnergie and CAA-Québec. One such station is located at the headquarters of AddÉnergie, at 2327, boulevard du Versant-Nord, at the intersection of AutoRoutes 440 and 740. The other fast-charge station is located outside of the offices of CAA-Québec, at 444, rue Bouvier, near autoroutes 40 and 973.
Industrial and commercial electric vehicles will be a similar market to cars but innovating faster and frequently more profitable for all in the value chain. The most important sector is buses, the subject of this report, where innovation often comes before cars because they are less price sensitive.
Electric buses are an eco-friendly alternative to diesel. With several project partners, Fraunhofer researchers have developed a concept to swiftly recharge buses while they operate routes. System testing in Dresden has been underway since November last year.
Named EVA, the electric taxi is built by TUM CREATE, a collaboration between Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) and one of Europe’s top universities, Germany’s Technische Universität München (TUM). The project is supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore.
Vehicle cost, current battery technology, and inadequate consumer knowledge are some of the barriers preventing widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council. Developing less expensive, better performing batteries is essential to reducing overall vehicle cost, and a market strategy is needed to create awareness and overcome customer uncertainty. The report recommends a range of incentives that the federal government can offer to address these and other barriers.
How can a pleasant vehicle climate be achieved efficiently? Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) pursued this question in the context of the research project Visio.M funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of 7.1 million euro.
Electrical energy storage, rather than fuel combustion, has become a key component in transit fleets that are switching to more efficient hybrid and electric vehicles.
Toshiba Corporation today announced that Kawasaki Tsurumi Rinko Bus Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Rinko Bus”) will start operating Toshiba’s first commercial electric bus on its Kawasaki Municipal Hospital route.
In the first study of its kind, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) quantitatively show that electric vehicles (EVs) will meet the daily travel needs of drivers longer than commonly assumed.
So secretive were efforts to create the first self-sustained nuclear reaction in 1942 that physicist Enrico Fermi and his Manhattan Project team quietly toiled beneath the stands of Stagg Field and communicated with each other in code.
