Electric Cars are being overtaken by new electric vehicles, which achieve c3x greater decarbonisation per unit of battery material. This metric matters if one believes that battery materials are a…
…in their stator windings by traction inverters. For more details and underlying theory, please see our overview of magnets. What magnets are used in electric vehicles? 80-90% of electric vehicles…
Electric vehicles are a world-changing technology, 2-6x more efficient than ICEs, but how quickly will they ramp up to re-shape global oil demand? This 14-page note presents our electric vehicle…
It is widely believed that electric vehicles will destroy fossil fuel demand. We find EVs will increase fossil fuel demand by 0.7Mboed from 2020-35. EVs only start lowering net fossil…
This data-file models the energy economics and costs of constructing new electric rail lines, to displace automobile traffic and accelerate the energy transition. $199.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Under our base…
This data-file models the possible battery sizes in a fully electric semi-truck. Lithium ion batteries up to 15 tons are considered, which could deliver 2,500 miles of range, comparable to…
Electric arc furnaces generate enormous amounts of heat as very high voltages cause the electric decomposition of air into plasma. This heat can be used to melt down and recycle…
This 14-page note explains the crucial power-electronics in an electric vehicle fast-charging station, running at 150-350kW, to charge up an entire EV in 10-30 minutes. Most important are power-MOSFETs, comprising…
…US electric utilities include rising capex, especially for renewables, the phase out of coal, building out electric vehicle infrastructure and a target of reaching net zero by 2050 or before….
This data-file compares diesel trains, electric trains and hydrogen trains, according to their energy consumption, carbon emissions and fuel costs. The data are presented apples-to-apples, per passenger mile, based on…
