1. Electric Car Charging at Home You can charge your electric car at home, too. It is similar to charging an electronic device, like your laptop or mobile phone. Prefer overnight charging to keep your vehicle ready! Home charging stations charge your vehicle with 3.6 kW or 7 kW, giving ...
The increase of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, and their adverse effects on the environment, have prompted the search for alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. One of the solutions gaining ground is the electrification of various hum
In the last ten years, numerous attempts have been made to enhance the conversion and consumption of energy to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in the area of electrifying transportation and producing electric energy. Therefore, the generation of electricity in the future will see an increasing...
This makes it easier to put anywhere a traditional bike would go (like bike racks and car carriers) or to carry into your home for charging. This does mean you can’t get away with removing the battery to charge it inside and leaving the bike outside. If a non-removable battery...
Cheap conversion: the secrets of keeping it under $1000 The ForkenSwift's claim to fame is that it was done on a shoestring budget: it was on the road on October 11, 2007, legally registered and insured as an electric vehicle, for a net cost of $672 including the car. ...

Nevertheless, the state of technology development, deployment and availability has shifted since the time of the first UK target back in 2008. The cost of wind and solar has dropped significantly, offshore wind is now a viable proposition, many electric car models are available and while not in...
We calculated the local carbon emission factor for electricity based on the regional energy mix, i.e. the carbon dioxide emissions generated per 1 kW·h of electricity output from the grid in each region. In this paper, we refer to the BEV energy conversion method and the reference value of...
