To support its coming all-Tesla fleet, South Pasadena will install nine police-dedicated "Level II" electric vehicle chargers and one "Level III" electric vehicle charger. South Pasadena is only 3.42 sq. miles. They will install 9 L2 chargers and 1 L3 charger, in addition to 34 chargers around the city. The transition to electric vehicles will save $312,000 over their 10 year life, primarily due to the lower fuel and maintenance costs.

At an Earth Day ceremony Thursday, GoDurham will debut its two new environmentally friendly 100% electric buses, which the agency was able to buy thanks to a federal grant and matching funds provided by Durham taxpayers. The event will begin at 10 a.m. at the GoDurham facility at 1905 Fay St. in Durham and will include remarks from

This technology has just proved its value in a crisis, and the more capacity we add, the more it will save us from high bills and blackouts. California just stared down its most extreme September heat event in history and survived better than expected — thanks in part to a new system of huge, grid-connected batteries.

Electrified fleet services provider InCharge Energy has launched a new portfolio of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) bidirectional chargers that can not only optimize fleet operations but also help bolster the available energy to local grids.

Annual data and statistics for U.S. energy production and consumption.

A detailed index ranking the EV readiness of the US using government and weather data to score each state using a number of factors.

In its Annual Energy Outlook 2021 (AEO2021), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that the share of renewables in the U.S. electricity generation mix will increase from 21% in 2020 to 42% in 2050. Wind and solar generation are responsible for most of that growth. The renewable share is projected to increase as nuclear and coal-fired generation decrease and the natural gas-fired generation share remains relatively constant. By 2030, renewables will collectively surpass natural gas to be the predominant source of generation in the United States. Solar electric generation (which includes photovoltaic (PV) and thermal technologies and both small-scale and utility-scale installations) will surpass wind energy by 2040 as the largest source of renewable generation in the United States.

Short term energy production and consumption statistics, including breakdown by generation source, price, CO2 emissions.

BloombergNEF Analyst Jenny Chase says the world installed 268 GW of new solar capacity in 2022, with annual installations expected to hit 315 GW in 2023. In a recent interview with <b>pv magazine</b>, Chase pointed to a large backlog of delivered PV modules in Europe that still have yet to be installed.

Many electric vehicle chargers across the U.S. do not work properly, creating a significant challenge for the Biden administration's agenda and a shift away from gasoline-powered cars.

Objective data on charging temperatures and tolerances.

Batteries operate over a wide temperature range, but this does not give permission to also charge them at these conditions. The charging process is more delicate than discharging and special care must be taken. Extreme cold and high heat reduce charge acceptance and the battery should be brought to a moderate temperature before charging.

Tesla has released a rare update on the battery degradation in its electric cars. The automaker claims its batteries only lose about 12% of capacity after 200,000 miles.

Kia is sending its used batteries to be reused in energy storage systems.

The economic potential for battery reuse, or second-life, could help to further decrease the upfront costs of EV batteries and increase the value of a used EV. Given the growing market for EVs, second-life batteries could also represent a market of low-cost storage for utilities and electricity consumers. But in order to enable widespread reuse of EV batteries, policy will play an important role in reducing barriers and ensuring responsible, equitable, and sustainable practices.

In Nevada and other US states, entrepreneurs are anticipating the coming boom in retired lithium-ion batteries from electric cars and hoping to create a market for recycled minerals. Thirty miles east of Reno, Nevada, past dusty hills patched with muted blue sage and the occasional injury-lawyer billboard, a large concrete structure rises prominently in the desert landscape. When fully constructed, it will be a pilot for a business that entrepreneurs envision as a major facet of America’s future green economy: lithium-ion battery recycling.

Details on California EPA's recycling legislation

Sandy visits the teams at RecycLiCo Battery Materials and Kemetco Research for an in-depth discussion on battery recycling and a tour of a facility that's making this dream a reality.

How are Lithium Batteries Recycled? Today we find out. Whether its Electric Car batteries, cell phone batteries, or tool batteries the process is all the same.

Lets get those old electronics and batteries turned into NEW technology!

Facts and myths about electric vehicles.

On its face, the viral image seems ridiculous: A van tows a generator that is being used to charge an electric vehicle.
