Types of Electric Vehicles

Image
There are three main types of electric vehicles (EVs), classed by the degree that electricity is used as their energy source. BEVs, or battery electric vehicles,  PHEVs of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and  HEVs, or hybrid electric vehicles.  Only BEVs are capable of charging on a level 3, DC fast charge.

Installing a Level 2 EV Charging system

Image
POSTED BY: http://aevt.org/ & http://aevt.in/ A level 2 EV charger uses 240 volts of electricity. This has the benefit of offering faster charging time, but it requires a special installation procedure as a standard.  Considering the technical nature and risk of a Level 2 EV charger installation, it is always smart to hire a professional installer to install your charging station. Technically, a home charging station (also known as "electric vehicle supply equipment" or EVSE) does not charge your car. Before you begin Here is the information you'll need to make your decision. How fast of a charger do you need? Circuit size Should you oversize your charging station? Features Brands

POSTED BY:   http://aevt.org/  &  http://aevt.in/ Electric vehicle charging stations in India will have to follow a common standard approved by the Government, which has accepted a panel’s suggestion to have a uniform infrastructure across the country. The standardisation of charging infrastructure will enable electric vehicles of all models by different manufacturers to be charged at any station. The Committee, which had sought comments from various stakeholders, had received comments that open protocol be allowed with private partnership/investments.  It, however, said that open protocol is not desirable as standardisation is necessary. "ABB is helping India to achieve its ambitious goals of moving towards a stronger, smarter and greener grid,"the company said in a statement. Tata Power plans to device a mix of fast and regular chargers at these charging stations that will facilitate to charge vehicles from both private and public sphere. ...

POSTED BY:   http://aevt.org/  &  http://aevt.in/ Govt to allow individuals to set up electric vehicle charging stations without licence Setting up public charging stations shall be de-licensed and any individual is free [to set them up], provided the stations meet the standards of the power ministry.  "The person should apply for connectivity and the distribution company is bound to provide connectivity. Obtaining electricity from open access is also permissible,"   government official told.    A fast-charging station requires an investment of about Rs 25 lakh but a slow charging outlet would cost about Rs 1 lakh.  "When EV sales pick up in about five years, an area of 3 km could require about 300 charging stations with about 4-5 charging slots,"     Praveer Sinha, chairman and managing director of Tata Power  told.  The government will also offer incentives, while also providing land from municipal ...

Electric vehicle battery from present state to future

Image
POSTED BY:   http://aevt.org/  &  http://aevt.in/ Electric and hybrid vehicles are associated with green technologies and a reduction in greenhouse emissions due to their low emissions of greenhouse gases and fuel-economic benefits over gasoline and diesel vehicles. Recent analyses show nevertheless that electric vehicles contribute to the increase in greenhouse emissions through their excessive need for power sources, particularly in countries with limited availability of renewable energy sources, and result in a net contribution and increase in greenhouse emissions across the European continent. The chemical and electronic components of car batteries and their waste management require also a major investment and development of recycling technologies, to limit the dispersion of electric waste materials in the environment. With an increase in fabrication and consumption of battery technologies and multiplied production of electric vehicles worldwide in recent yea...

Tesla Semi takes off with its first load

Image
POSTED BY:   http://aevt.org/  &  http://aevt.in/ Tesla made quite a statement when it finally unveiled its all-electric long hauler last year, listing some truly impressive numbers in terms of range and acceleration. The might of the Tesla Semi's is now being put to the test, with a production model rolling out of the Gigafactory with a load onboard for the very first time. When announcing the Tesla Semi back in November, Elon Musk claimed the truck would be able to accelerate to 97 km/h (60 mph) in five seconds flat when empty, putting it in the realm of some sports cars. When fully loaded to its capacity of 80,000 lb (36,288 kg), it would still only take 20 seconds. Range, meanwhile, is listed at an astonishing 500 mi (805 km) on a single charge, while fully loaded and traveling 65 mph (104 km/h). Musk said that this range should cover the majority of round trips, noting that 80 percent of long-haul routes are less than 250 mi (400 km). But not the trip...

Electric Vehicles drive new business models in India

About Electric Vehicle

Image
There are many reasons for you to choose an electric vehicle (EV) over a vehicle powered by petrol or diesel. An electric car is much cheaper to run (equivalent to paying 30 cents a litre for petrol), more efficient, doesn't pollute the air with exhaust emissions and delivers an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions. There are two basic types of EVs: all-electric vehicles (AEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). AEVs include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). In addition to charging from the electrical grid, both types are charged in part by regenerative braking, which generates electricity from some of the energy normally lost when braking. Which type of vehicle will fit your lifestyle depends on your needs and driving habits. Find out which BEVs and PHEVs are available to suit your needs. All-electric vehicles (AEVs) run only on electricity. Most have all-electric ranges of 80 to 100 miles, while a few luxury models have ranges ...
