Solving the energy trilemma
The Overlooked EV Opportunity The typical private Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) driven 10,000 miles per year consumes 3,400 kWh or 31% of the average annual residential household electric use. That same BEV releases 40% - 70% less CO2 to the atmo ...
As many utilities approach or have achieved their long-term goals in the energy efficiency sphere, they face a future of declining electricity sales and projections of constrained load growth. This issue has been identified by several studies and ind ...
As we find ourselves at the beginning of 2019, we'd like to take a moment to look back at our most popular blog posts from the past year, which included hot topics around electric vehicles, offshore wind, storage, PV structures and energy efficie ...
We've talked a lot about falling energy storage costs, and you've heard me say cost reductions of 8-15% per year have been the historical norm, at least for the last decade. But you might have been wondering, like me, how long this can last? Afte ...
Utilities are facing the confluence of three residential trends over which they have little or no control, but are tasked with meeting its consequences. The effects of all three of these trends coincide at about the same time of day, potentially wre ...
In 2013, I published a blog about electric vehicles from the motorhead perspective. Four years later, nearly every supercar brand uses a hybrid or full-electric as its halo car, electric cars have broken 0-60 marks that were never dreamed of by p ...
As we find ourselves at the beginning of 2018, we'd like to take a moment to look back at our most popular blog posts from the past year, which included hot topics around energy storage, wind, energy efficiency, cybersecurity and electric vehicle ...
By Bent-Erik Bakken, Onur ?zg?n, Anne Louise Koefoed and Mark Irvine After more than a century of fine-tuning, the internal combustion engine (ICE) is an engineering wonder. Yet, suddenly, its future doesn't look so turbo-charged. &nbs ...
Inductive charging is one of the latest developments to spark global interest in the world of electric mobility. The concept sounds as simple as it is attractive - simply drive your vehicle over a charging plate, and it starts charging itself. Th ...
The world population is expected to grow to nine billion by 2050, and up to eleven billion by 2100. Meanwhile, energy consumption is expected to continue growing at the rate of 0.7% per capita per annum. However, we continue to live on a finite plane ...
