  • Electric Vehicle Pre-Infrastructure Planning a Discussion of Social, Economic, and Technological Readiness of Prince Edward Island
    University of Prince Edward Island Electric Vehicle Pre-Infrastructure Planning A Discussion of Social, Economic, and Technological Readiness of Prince Edward Island Georgina Vardy 10/22/2012 A localized study, focused on Prince Edward Island, Canada, compiled to assist with determining social, economic and technological readiness for electric vehicles and the related infrastructure. The study used both a Christensen based disruptive technology framework approach and traditional marketing techniques to determine social and economic readiness. Residents showed an interest and aptitude for the social changes required however the financial affordability of the electric vehicles for residents was limited without nationally available, but locally deficient, incentives. A technology scan determined that electric vehicle battery chemical content and design are determining factors in effectively satisfying social needs and acceptance. The next stage includes localized marketing development for this unique location, vehicles sales and infrastructure.

Electric vehicle rapid-charging (reaching above 80% state-of-charge in less than 15 minutes) has been demonstrated, but concerns have been raised about the high levels of electrical power required to recharge a high-capacity battery in a short period of time. This economic analysis is based on an existing project run by MIT's Electric Vehicle Team, of building a 200-mile range battery electric sedan capable of recharging in 10 minutes.

  • Transportation Milestones
    TRANSPORTATION MILESTONES The following is a list of transportation milestones that have occurred since the birth of our nation. Blue type indicates milestones for which a poster has been prepared in advance for your use. If time does not allow you to use all of the events listed, it is recommended the ones with an asterisk (*) be given highest priority— these are the ones provided on the sample timeline. Consider adding notable events that are of importance to your region— for example, Californians might want to include the Golden Gate Bridge while New Yorkers will probably add the Brooklyn Bridge. 1776 Propellor Submarine - Turtle (David Bushness, USA) 1779 Iron Bridge (Abraham Darby, England) 1781 Steam Engine Thomas Newcomen, England and James Watt, Scotland) 1781 Ornithopter (Karl Friedrich Meerwein, Germany) 1783 Hot Air Balloon (Joseph Michel and Jacques Étienne Montgolfier, France) 1787 Steamboat (John Fitch, USA— John Fitch is given credit for the first recorded steam-powered ship in the U.S. Connecticut and James The first successful trial of his boat was on the Delaware River in 1787. Delegates Rumsey, USA—West from the Constitutional Convention witnessed the event. The same year, James Virginia) Rumsey exhibited a steamboat on the Potomac River After a battle with Rumsey, Fitch was granted a U.S. patent for his steamboat in 1791—the men had similar designs. Fitch continued to build boats. While they were mechanically successful, Fitch failed to pay sufficient attention to construction and operating costs and was unable to justify the economic benefits of steam navigation. This was left to others.

  • Two Drive Modes for the Vehicle Rajat Ganechari, Prashant Bhandarkavthekar, Aditya Dudka, Ajay Rathod, Dr
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 1, January-2019 1 ISSN 2229-5518 Two drive modes for the vehicle Rajat Ganechari, Prashant Bhandarkavthekar, Aditya Dudka, Ajay Rathod, Dr. Shriniwas Metan, Vikram Birangane Abstract— Looking at the current fuel price hike, private transport is progressively getting to be unviable for the normal man. Fuel consumption of bikes increases when you are driving on a slope and in substantial rush hour traffic where you have to switch the gear over and over again, also driving the bike in the lower gear. In the event that you change over to battery mode in these street conditions, this issue can be survived. The driver will have the choice of utilizing either battery-run front wheel drive or engine run rear wheel drive. When running on a non-conventional fuel (electricity in this case) we benefit our environment through less pollution and zero noise. To achieve this, we used a trial and error method to make a bar link that would sustain the load of the hub motor mounted on the front wheel. To control the speed of the hub motor, we fit the controller just above the headlight assembly. We also provided a switch in the boot space to turn on the electric drive mode also mounted the batteries just below the footrest. To accelerate the vehicle we fitted the accelerator, which is connected to the controller, on the left side of the bar handle. We made some demo runs of the vehicle, calculated the data and proved that two drive modes for the vehicle are more efficient and environmentally friendly than a normal gasoline powered vehicle.

The electric motor gets energy from a controller, which regulates the amount of power³based on the driver·s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric car (also known as electric vehicle or EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle which combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle, or better performance. A variety of types of HEV exist, and the degree to which they function as EVs varies as well.

Previously, he worked for the New York State Power Authority and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, where he helped develop, market, and manage electric and hybrid vehicle programs serving New York State and the New York metropolitan area. Seth is the consulting editor for a series of upcoming titles called the “Green Guru Guides,” which focus on implementing environmentally friendly technologies and making them work for you. Bob Brant was the author of the first book, and some might say ahead of his time in his passion to convert to electric. The first edition of this book was published in 1993. While there have obviously been updates and technological advances since that time, many of the concepts in that first book are still in use today. Bob grew up in New York City, got a BSEE, and worked on NASA projects such as Apollo, Lunar Excursion Module, and the Earth Resources Technology Satellite. He then went on to get an MSEE and MBA, and worked for a company that worked on the Lunar Rover.

The battery component will play a key role in the adoption of these vehicles as it defines their cost, range and safety. Advances in lithium-ion battery technology are creating possibilities for electric vehicles to compete with their gasoline counterparts for the first time.

    Hybrid electric vehicle - Wikiwand 10/22/20, 1014 AM Hybrid electric vehicle A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain). The presence of the electric powertrain is The Toyota Prius is the world's best selling hybrid car, with cumulative global sales of intended to achieve either better fuel almost 4 million units up until January 2017. economy than a conventional vehicle or [1] better performance. There is a variety of HEV types and the degree to which each function as an electric vehicle (EV) also varies. The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist. Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative brakes which convert the vehicle's kinetic energy to electric energy, which is stored in a battery or supercapacitor. Some varieties of HEV use an internal combustion engine to turn an electrical generator, which either recharges the vehicle's batteries or directly powers its electric drive motors; this combination is known as a motor–generator. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the engine at idle and restarting it when needed; this is known as a start-stop system. A hybrid-electric produces fewer tailpipe emissions than a comparably sized gasoline car since the hybrid's gasoline engine is usually smaller than that of a gasoline- powered vehicle. If the engine is not used to drive the car directly, it can be geared to run at maximum efficiency, further improving fuel economy.
