I drove a 2018 Chevy Bolt Premier outfitted with a little over $2,000 worth
of extra options

https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/5b801fb08ea82fa1278b5028-960-720.jpg
The version I drove cost $43,905. The base price for the Bolt's standard

Unlike GM's first fully electric vehicle, the EV-1, the Bolt has an exterior
resembling that of a gas-powered car

https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/5b801fff8905f282258b511a-960-720.jpg
I had driven the Bolt for a few hours on an autocross track in June, but
this was my first time driving the Bolt — or any EV — for an extended period
in real-world conditions

The Bolt doesn't have blazing speed, but it has more than enough for highway
driving

Electric motors are much quieter than gas-powered engines — a characteristic
that made a small but noticeable difference

from a simple layout and bright colors

felt and looked a little cheap, even though my Bolt had leather on some
parts of the seats and steering wheel

Once I finally found a station, operated by ChargePoint, the charging
process was relatively simple.

But while initiating a charge is simple, charging an electric vehicle takes
far longer than filling it with gas does

https://i0.wp.com/roboticsandautomationnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/UPS-Thor-vehicle.jpg
]

UPS is collaborating with Thor Trucks, Inc. to develop and test a
fully-electric class 6 delivery truck in Los Angeles, Calif. The truck is
expected to be ready for deployment later this year.

UPS continues to work with a range of companies to test and deploy promising
alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles.

The Thor electric delivery truck will have a driving range of approximately
100 miles powered by a Thor-designed and built battery that will be
lightweight, durable and allow long-range driving distances.

For six months, UPS will test the medium-duty electric delivery truck as
part of its fleet. Testing will include off-road evaluation to address
durability, battery capacity, technical integration, engineering and any
items found during on-road testing.

Depending on the success of the deployment, UPS may make additional
purchases of the electric vehicle. The company works with a wide array of
manufacturers including ARRIVAL, Daimler, Tesla, Thor, Workhorse and others.

Using its “Rolling Laboratory” approach, UPS deploys about 9,300
low-emission vehicles to determine which technology works best in each route
configuration.

2018-09-06 Thread Bill Dube via EV

Indoor sky diving facilities use more than a mega-watt.
Shopping centers use far more than this. Half a megawatt is commonplace, 
believe it or not.


They are considering fast chargers this size in New Zealand, but cars 
have to be set up to use this much charger. There are several car 
manufacturers and charger manufacturers considering 10 minute 350 to 400 
kw charging.


Most folks don't really _need_ 400 kw charging, but most folks don't 
need private jets either. They sell quite a few private jets.

Really?  I'm far from an expert on electric utility issues, but 400kW is
about the total peak capacity of 4 recently built bloated McMansions

houses in those neighborhoods, but maybe I'm missing something.   And of
course those houses aren't all running at peak load all the time,

Like a lot of the "new technology" posts, a bunch of PR mumbo-jumbo.

Each charger would require its own electrical substation.

Efficiencies are already near theoretical limits.

Notice the time frame is in the vapor-ware realm.

And just what is a solid state transformer?

GM's New Charging Technology to Allow for 180 Miles of Range in 10 Minutes

Electric cars have one large disadvantage when placed side-by-side with
their traditional gas-powered rivals: the time it takes to refuel. General
Motors has begun a new partnership with Delta Americas to develop a new
technology which will charge its upcoming fleet of electric cars in record
time.

General Motors said it is readying a fleet of 20 electric cars that will be
capable of utilizing the newly developed chargers, enabling its vehicles to
rapidly recharge their batteries and provide up to 180 miles of range in
just 10 minutes. Its partner in the deal, Delta Americas, expects to have
the final prototype of its Extreme Fast Charger (XFC) ready by 2020, and GM
expects to have its fleet of vehicles ready only three years later, by 2023.

The new XFCs are set to outpace both Tesla's Superchargers, which can
provide current-generation cars with up to 120-kilowatts of power, as well
as Porsche's new 350-kW chargers, by providing an unheard of 400 kW of
electricity to the vehicles. The new technology, developed with partner
Delta Americas and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, is able to
provide a staggering 96.5 percent grid-to-vehicle efficiency, a three
percent increase than current technology, partly thanks to the use of
solid-state transformers.

“We’re thrilled to lead such an important project and have a stellar team of
researchers and partners in place that are more than ready to take on the
challenge of setting a new standard for EV fast charging,” said M.S. Huang,
president of Delta Americas'. “By utilizing solid-state transformer
technology, we have the opportunity to create unprecedented charging speed
and convenience that will ultimately help support the DOE’s strategic goal
of increasing EV adoption across the nation.”

The numbers quoted by GM and Delta Americas are theoretical, of course, and
are contingent on what is considered to be "tomorrow’s long-range EVs," or
vehicles that will provide up to 360 miles of range per charge. As batteries
possess a higher charge, they become increasingly difficult to recharge,
meaning that it takes less time to charge a battery from zero-to-50 percent
than from 50-to-100 percent. Delta Americas believes that its current
technology will recharge a next-generation 360-mile range battery to 50
percent in the rated 10 minutes, though they do not specify battery
capacity.

I really don't care what they believe.  Knowledge makes for much better 
decisions.  So let's see how plausible this "belief" really is.

Efficient small car (well done light conversion)

250Wh/mi * 360mi = 90kWh available battery capacity
* 50% = 45kWh
45kWh in 10 minutes => 270W.  
Seems legit.


Typical compact EV (Nissan Leaf) 

340Wh/mi (EPA rating 2012 Leaf) * 360mi = 122.4kWh available batt capacity
* 50% = 61.2kWh
61.2kWh in 10 minutes => 367.2kW.  
Just makes it.


Bloatmobile EV (Tesla Model X) 420Wh/mi

(see https://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-x/2016/long-term-road-test/2016-
tesla-model-x-monthly-update-for-january-2017.html)

420Wh/mi * 360mi = 151.2kWh available battery capacity
* 50% = 75.6kWh
75.6kWh in 10 minutes => 453.6kW.  
Nope.

This is exciting. I think this will push the EV sales point past the 
early adopters part of the bell curve. For people who only own one car, 
can't charge at home, and drive long distances often enough not to want 
to rent, this will make a big difference - if GM really follows through. 
I think that's a large number of people.


It also will eliminate one of the main detractors from hydrogen power.

Electric cars have one large disadvantage when placed side-by-side with
their traditional gas-powered rivals: the time it takes to refuel. 
General

Motors has begun a new partnership with Delta Americas to develop a new
technology which will charge its upcoming fleet of electric cars in 
record

time.

General Motors said it is readying a fleet of 20 electric cars that 
will be
capable of utilizing the newly developed chargers, enabling its 
vehicles to
rapidly recharge their batteries and provide up to 180 miles of range 
in
just 10 minutes. Its partner in the deal, Delta Americas, expects to 
have
the final prototype of its Extreme Fast Charger (XFC) ready by 2020, 
and GM
expects to have its fleet of vehicles ready only three years later, by 
2023.


The new XFCs are set to outpace both Tesla's Superchargers, which can
provide current-generation cars with up to 120-kilowatts of power, as 
well

as Porsche's new 350-kW chargers, by providing an unheard of 400 kW of
electricity to the vehicles. The new technology, developed with partner
Delta Americas and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, is able 
to

provide a staggering 96.5 percent grid-to-vehicle efficiency, a three
percent increase than current technology, partly thanks to the use of
solid-state transformers.

“We’re thrilled to lead such an important project and have a stellar 
team of
researchers and partners in place that are more than ready to take on 
the
challenge of setting a new standard for EV fast charging,” said M.S. 
Huang,

president of Delta Americas'. “By utilizing solid-state transformer
technology, we have the opportunity to create unprecedented charging 
speed
and convenience that will ultimately help support the DOE’s strategic 
goal

of increasing EV adoption across the nation.”

The numbers quoted by GM and Delta Americas are theoretical, of course, 
and
are contingent on what is considered to be "tomorrow’s long-range EVs," 
or
vehicles that will provide up to 360 miles of range per charge. As 
batteries
possess a higher charge, they become increasingly difficult to 
recharge,
meaning that it takes less time to charge a battery from zero-to-50 
percent

than from 50-to-100 percent. Delta Americas believes that its current
technology will recharge a next-generation 360-mile range battery to 50
percent in the rated 10 minutes, though they do not specify battery
capacity.

The Malaysian automaker, Proton Holding has signed an agreement with
Pakistan’s Al-haj Automotive Private Limited, to produce and assemble its
electric and eco-friendly cars in Pakistan
]

According to local media reports, the deal is expected to bring in an
investment of $200-300 million in the country. The deal would make Al Haj
the exclusive distributor of Proton automobiles in the country.

As per the agreement, Al-Haj would bring modern and high-tech automobiles in
different categories i.e. entry and mid-level sedans, crossovers/sports
utility vehicles, multi-purpose vehicle and hatchbacks.

Last year, Al-Haj Faw Motors (Private) Limited, a collaboration between Faw
China and Al-Haj Motors, started assembling Faw V2, a 1,300cc [ice]
hatchback, at its assembly plant in Karachi, becoming the forst Chinese car
to be assemble in the country currently dominated by three Japanese
carmakers.

Just months back, Al Haj FAW motors increased the price of its vehicles in
Pakistan for the fourth time this year, amid devaluation of Pakistani rupee
against dollar.
