Plug-in hybrid cars use a lithium-ion battery, similar to, but smaller than, those used in fully electric cars. What is the range in a fully electric mode of a plug-in hybrid car? Depending on the model, a Volvo plug-in hybrid car can manage most of your daily driving in a fully...
From 17,000 electric cars on roads worldwide in 2010 to 7.2 million in 2019, there's been a 42,000% increase in electric vehicles Newer direct-current, fast-charging technology allows for recharging 60 to 80-miles worth of driving in under 20 minutesInitiatives include state and federal tax...
With emission standards tightening around the world and the popularity of electric cars rising, the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles (e.g.,dieseltrucks) appears to be a natural progression. For electric truck (ET) charging, a return-to-base strategy with chargers located where trucks begin...
A machine-learning (ML)-based charge management system considers conventional charging, rapid charging, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies while guiding electric cars (EVs) to charging stations. This operation reduces the expenses associated with charging, high voltages, load fluctuation, and ...
