Cleantech Blog: USPS may buy 20,000 Hybrid and Electric Vehicles - 0 views

  • Most of the 220,000 U.S. Postal Service vehicles only travel 20 to 25 miles per day making them a good match with the range of an electric vehicle. Hundreds of stops make hybrids and electrics ideal for capturing braking energy and regenerating the batteries.

  • The ultracapacitor-equipped Toyota Supra HV-R coupe became the first hybrid to win the 24-hour endurance car race held at Japan’s Tokachi International Speedway. The hybrid Supra finished 616 laps of the 5.1-kilometer (roughly three-mile) course—19 more laps than the second-place, non-hybrid, Nissan Fairlady Z.

  • Scientists at the University of Michigan, using a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), are exploring plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) that not only use grid electricity to meet their power needs, but return it to the grid, earning money for the owner.

Hybrid Gets 150 Miles Per Gallon Using Ultracapacitors : MetaEfficient - 0 views

  • It’s a prototype hybrid car that gets 150MPG, and goes 40 miles on electricity alone, drawing its power from a combination of lithium-ion batteries and ultracapacitors. The ultracapacitors provide a burst of energy to the engine, when needed. They are then recharged by the lithium-ion batteries. This avoids the problem of emptying the batteries too fast, which can cause them to heat up, and possibly catch on fire.

The Oil Drum: Europe | Can hybrids make a difference in the near future? - 0 views

  • The future may be bright for hybrids, but it would have to be a very distant future, judging by the evolution of the car to date, and by the deeply ingrained tendencies of British drivers.

Clean Break :: Preparing for a car-2-grid world - 0 views

  • Okay, maybe the idea of having plug-in hybrids and electric cars that interact with the grid is far off in the future. But we all have to admit that it's an attractive future. It means as the grid gets cleaner, so do vehicle emissions. It means millions of cars collectively act as a huge battery storage system, drawing power when it's cheap and selling it back to the grid at a premium.

  • Toyota is testing a Plug-in HV. According to Autoblog Green1, the second step in development “is a car with an electric-only range of 30-60 KM (60 KM = 37 Miles),” Presumably, this would be with advanced lithium batteries. Meanwhile, initial tests are with the addition of another NiMH battery pack and a plug-in hybrid vehicle capable of just 8 all-electric miles.

Toyota: Electric cars 'too expensive' for mainstream | Green Tech - CNET News - 0 views

  •  
    Toyota, the leader in hybrid cars, thinks that the high cost of the lithium ion batteries will keep electric cars from penetrating the mass market for another decade. Over the past three years, Toyota secretly tested lithium ion batteries as a potential replacement for the nickel metal hydride batteries now used in the Prius, according to a Bloomberg report In its tests, Toyota concluded that lithium-ion batteries were safe and reliable, but the higher cost doesn't justify a complete shift over for Toyota's hybrids, executives said. As a result, the company will remain with nickel-based batteries for most of its hybrid cars, according to the report.

Plug-In Hybrids: Fueling the Future - 0 views

  • Plug-in cars, some that rely solely on electricity and some that marry an electric motor with a gasoline motor for better mileage and fewer emissions, are slowly making their way into the mainstream. And it's not just because they replace most or all of the gasoline used to fuel the typical car with cleaner, cheaper, domestic electricity.
