Owners and would-be owners of electric cars are lobbying for a public
network of chargers for their vehicles.
Dozens of people have turned out to the launch of Tasmania's Electric
Vehicle Association in Hobart.
Spokesman Clive Attwater estimated the cost of the entire network would be
less than one petrol station.
We're looking at about 40 or 50 charge stations and that would be enough to
cover the entire state, he said.
There are about 120 registered electric cars in Tasmania.
Charging times and charging outlets vary with the model of car.
One owner said he could travel a distance of 115 kilometres before needing
to recharge.
Owner Garry Broadhurst said a network of public chargers would give
enthusiasts the confidence to go further afield.
You could set off up the highway and know you're going to get to
Launceston, he said.
If there was one at Campbell Town you could almost do it but there's
nothing like that yet in Tasmania.
Tasmania is the last state to establish an electric vehicle association.
Setting up a host of mobile charging units for electric cars has been
estimated to cost less than a petrol station.

[EVDL] EVLN: Redonkulousness of Miles of Range In A Standard EV

Millions of Miles of Range In A Standard Nissan LEAF

What if you could drive from Maine to Florida and not even need to stop for
a charge while driving your Nissan Leaf. Forget about all the EVSE (Electric
Vehicle Supply Equipment) that has been installed by Tesla for their Model S
Electric Car. Technology is scheduled to be tested in England that will
enable just that. Long Distance travel with no stops for charging.
According to an article posted via Sky News, states the English Government
has made the commitment to test inductive charge technology and that they
want to be on the front line of this evolving technology.
As someone that has actually looked into this, my fear isn’t if this would
work but the actual costs of installing it. There is a company in Idaho
called Solar Roadways that would actually build roads out of solar panels so
I know this will work but testing is for its economical impact is key. Solar
Roadways are still in research and development and raising additional funds
via Indiegogo. We should start to see more news from this company in the
future as well.
The concept being tested in England is the idea of running electrical cables
under the road which the car would then pick up the current while traveling
over it to continuously via Induction. There are inherent electrical losses
with inductive charging but the technology has proven it can be done. The
original charging equipment that came with the GM EV1 was an Inductive
Paddle Charger made by GM which is obsolete now. It was known as the J1773
charging protocol. The national standard for charging EVs at Level II (220v
-240v) in use today is J1772.
I’m extremely interested in the results of this testing and can see some
positive implications from it.
While jumping onto a local highway and getting a charge while traveling at
higher speeds is really a dream at the moment. Driving 30 miles of your
commute and charging while at the peak consumption level of your journey
would also cut down on the need for charging at the other end of your trip.
Even if the Electric car could just be propelled via induction during the
highway portion of the journey would save a lot of charging time an increase
range significantly.

Maddie Stone 8/15/15
One of the biggest concerns with electric vehicles is whether they’ll be
able to hold enough juice to get you from A to B. But what if we didn’t have
to worry, because we could charge our cars on the highway? England will soon
be pilot-testing tech that could lead to EV charging lanes ...

Electric Vehicle Taxis: New York’s Answer to the Uber Problem?

In what turned out to be a bruising battle for New York Mayor Bill de
Blasio, Uber won the right to continue growing unfettered in America’s
largest city without a thought to auto emissions or the impact on local
traffic. As a result, the de Blasio administration faces its own ambitious
goals in emissions reductions with an expanding taxi and car service fleet
running on gasoline. New York could solve its Uber problem — and the
mounting issues with urban mobility — by embracing the technology and
cleaner operation of electric vehicles as taxis.
In case you missed the ugly public spat between the mayor and Uber, the feud
began in July over the city’s proposal to cap the for-hire car company’s
growth in hopes of controlling gridlock on New York streets. Uber flexed its
financial muscle and quickly won a victory over de Blasio and a City Council
that was open to capping Uber’s expansion.
This win for Uber represents a loss for an administration that has vowed to
cut greenhouse gas emissions in the city by 80% in the coming decades.
According to the New York Times, the growth of car services like Uber and
Lyft has hit a frenzied pace. Since 2011, for-hire cars have increased over
60% to 63,000 vehicles in New York, with 20,000 of them driving under Uber’s
banner.
You don’t need a calculator to see how this rate of growth for
gasoline-powered cars would make de Blasio’s emissions and mobility goals
impossible to reach. In fact, until the city commits to making at least part
of the taxi fleet electric vehicles, New York will be at the mercy of
companies like Uber, which would make traffic impossible to navigate in the
coming years.
While adding 63,000 vehicles to a city already known for traffic problems
sounds like a bad idea, take into consideration the increase in auto
emissions. A recent study on urban mobility and auto emissions revealed
enormous potential for electric taxis running autonomously. By changing the
single-person model of urban taxi fleets, the study showed how a city like
New York could reduce emissions by 94% within 15 years.
Instead, the continued expansion of Uber in New York guarantees more gas
vehicles will be on city streets every month moving forward with
single-person rides dominating the industry. Even with Uber’s car pooling
feature coming into service, the cab system in New York is likely to remain
dominated by solitary rides. The only difference is hiring a car with an app
provides a level of convenience and comfort you cannot find with the city’s
yellow cab fleet.
Electric vehicles’ superior connectivity could change the impression
passengers have of the outdated New York City fleet. In fact, a cab company
operating in Montreal plans to add 2,000 EVs to its fleet in the coming
years as a way of competing with companies such as Lyft and Uber, according
to Green Car Reports. The company hopes to leverage its green impact on
riders in a progressive city.
By offering superior technology for riders hoping to hail via app — not to
mention help in the fight to reduce emissions — electric vehicles provide
cities like New York with a solution to the problems for-hire vehicles
create. De Blasio and the City Council have a long way to go if they hope to
provide a sustainable transportation model for New York’s future.
