(Wanna sound smart at Christmas family gatherings? 🤓 Skip to the conclusion of this post) When it comes to energy efficiency, the difference between internal combustion engine (#ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (#EVs) is striking. This infographic included in the Platform recent recommendation paper highlights how energy from the original fuel source is used (or wasted) by both gasoline-powered and electric cars: Gasoline-powered vehicles lose approximately 75-84% of their original energy due to engine inefficiencies, drivetrain losses, and parasitic energy use. In the end, only 16-25% of the energy makes it to the wheels. Electric vehicles, by contrast, lose only 11-13% of their original energy. The majority (87-91%) is efficiently converted to motion, with losses stemming primarily from charging, drivetrain, and auxiliary electricity uses. This comparison underscores why EVs are not just an environmentally friendly choice but also a dramatically more energy-efficient one. As we push toward decarbonizing transport, efficiency must remain at the heart of the discussion. Wanna sound smart? 🤓 In a nutshell, the internal combustion engine produces #heat first, and #kinetic energy - which allows forward movement - is only a byproduct of this heat production. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, convert electricity directly into motion, avoiding the significant energy loss tied to heat. See full recommendation paper here: https://lnkd.in/e9GYZBj8

❄️ Sino Energy Winter Electric Vehicle Charging Guide! 🚗❄️ 🔋💡 Here are some tips to help you charge your EV efficiently during the cold season. ⚡️ 1. 🏠 Choose a suitable charging environment: 🔋❄️:Choose a warmer environment such as a carport or underground parking lot, which will help improve the activity of the battery and improve the efficiency of charging.🛡️❌ 2. ⏰ Plan Your Charging Sessions: 🔋🌞 Prioritize charging during daytime or milder temperatures. This approach can enhance battery efficiency and mitigate the effect of harsh cold weather. 🕒💖 3⚡️Avoid over-discharging the battery: 🔋❌Charge the battery when there is 30% of power left to protect the battery and extend its service life. The battery's storage capacity will decrease by 20%-30% in winter, so don't wait until the battery is completely exhausted before charging.🕒💖 4. 🚘Appropriately increase the charging time: 🔋💪Because low temperatures may reduce the performance of the battery, resulting in the battery not being fully charged. It may take longer to charge an electric vehicle in winter.🔋💪 ❄️By following these tips, you'll optimize your electric vehicle's range and enjoy worry-free winter travel! ➡️🚀 For more details on charging stations, visit our official website: 📞 Tel/WhatsApp: 👉: +13554922072 📩 Business Cooperation🚀: info@sinoevsetech.com #evchargingstation #evcharging #evcharger #ev #electricvehicle #SinoEnergy #Greatsnow

After finding out the cool tool set up by Cerius-Radius to assess the loading of low voltage feeders here in Denmark, I was left wondering when would my local transformer might face issue with the growing number of EVs. https://lnkd.in/dA4p3JVF Currently, the peak is still on Christmas eve (at 35%), but over the last few days, there have been recurring values at 34% around 1 AM and 2 AM, clearly induced by EV charging. You might say: “Well, chill, there is still time… but how much?” So, I took the chance of the usual weekend walk around the neighborhood with the kids to play a bit of Sherlock Holmes: count how many EVs, or rather, how many electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) – the so-called chargers – I could spot on the premises. I disregarded PHEV since the few I spotted were all connected with the so-called grandma cable (normally 8 A, 1 phase). Since open garages are very common here, it was a rather straightforward exercise to spot the usual suspects (KEBA and Zaptec mostly). I might have missed one or two (mine for instance is not easy to spot), but out of 198 households, I counted 32. This is a 16% penetration rate. Considering that in Denmark, we currently have 350k EV out of 2.8 million cars (12%), this is above the average. This aligns well with the fact that everyone here has their own parking space (facilitating EV adoption). Long-story short: so far, we are cool, but with the continuing trend, we will start facing challenges in approx 3-4 years from now! Unless we deploy smart(er) charging that goes beyond mere economic optimization: let’s call it smart charging 2.0. Interested in how I got the number? read the boring explanation in the comment ;) DTU Wind and Energy Systems

You speak of home charging EV's as costless. You would have to buy a home solar system, or buy a generator, the gas kind. It isn't just the inconvenience of charging one, or how often they need charged, people find the maintenance costs significantly more expensive than for a gas car. And the EV is 2X the cost of a gas car. You are glossing over significant costs for most households. BTW, 46% of EV owners want to go back to gas. https://lnkd.in/gq5Yi35q
We are often told by the media that EVs are too expensive. I understand everyone isn't up on the latest facts but if you are going to cover a fast moving energy transition, that is really part of the job requirement. This new analysis shows that if you charge your car at home it is cheaper than ICE vehicles in all 50 states. And if you have rooftop solar you really win big on the economics of driving an EV. So, it's cheaper to drive EVs now. EVs that cost much less than the average new car will soon be available in the US. New battery technology will eliminate range and recharge time concerns in the next couple of years. Time to build out that charging infrastructure ASAP. Also, EVs are faster for those of you who enjoy driving. https://lnkd.in/eYJntq8A

https://lnkd.in/eTx4Eqha We need electric cars. And ideally, we’d charge them using renewable energy. But wind turbines don't always spin and solar panels don't work when it's cloudy or dark. So how are we going to charge the millions of power-hungry EVs that are hitting our streets every year? Well, it turns out that – rather than being part of the problem – electric cars and a technology called vehicle to grid could actually be part of the solution. For V2G development and deployment there are challenges and opportunities. Battery life of cars is one of the concerns. Not all BEVs or switches at home have bidirectional electricity flow design. Need a smart grid that communicates with electricity users and car batteries at home. Costs and payback are also high currently. If a good percentage of BEVs are able to provide V2G facility, the gas fired peak power plant will not need to operate. V2G is doable and will happen over the next 10 to 15 years. What do you think? #V2G #energystorage #BEVs #smartgrid
