New York City Plans to Install 40,000 EV Charging Stations by 2030

1 month ago, VinFast had a very spectacular launch in New York with the event of listing VFS on the US stock exchange. Along with the development of the green energy market in New York, VinFast will certainly have many opportunities here. Especially when New York City Plans to Install 40,000 EV Charging Stations by 2030 and create more advantages for the EV market to develop. New York State has pledged up to $250 million through 2025 to build EV charging stations throughout the state through its EVolve NY program. In fact, New York is second only to California in the scope of its financial commitment to EV charging station infrastructure. Financial incentives and grants are available for businesses who want to explore EV charging station installation in New York. There are three levels of EV charging stations: Level-one chargers are mainly for home use and can charge from a residential 120-volt outlet. Grants and incentives for New York businesses focus mainly on level-two and level-three EV chargers. Level-two chargers use 240 volts and can give an EV 30 to 50 miles of charge an hour. Level-three superchargers, or DC fast chargers, can fully charge a vehicle in less than…

The reason why VinES confidently competes with Chinese batteries

Although it is making the Korean and Japanese battery industries ‘smoke’, Chinese batteries do not worry VinES because according to Ms. Pham Thuy Linh – General Director of VinES, they still have certain competitive advantages. In the past 10 years, thanks to the support of the Government and the exploding green car trend in the country (the growth rate of electric cars in China in a decade has been faster than many decades of growth in the Japanese and European markets). Europe or North America) Chinese battery companies have grown strongly in both output and the speed of battery technology development. Even for car manufacturers such as Tesla, Volkswagen, Hyundai, BMW… equipping batteries from China on car models sold in this market also helps them have a certain competitive advantage. And CATL is the battery company that has this advantage and has grown rapidly, surpassing LG Chem, Panasonic, SK On, and Samsung SDI to lead the battery supply chain for 6 consecutive years. The explosion of the domestic electric vehicle market also caused another name, BYD, to rise to the 3rd position in global battery market share, even surpassing LG Chem, which ranked 2nd in the field of electric vehicle…

NASA technology helps fully charge electric vehicles in 5 minutes

Experimental technology NASA uses to cool equipment in space could cut electric vehicle (EV) charging times to less than five minutes. This news comes in the context that electric vehicle sales are on the rise and have reached their highest level ever. The experimental technology was initially developed by scientists to support “nuclear fission power systems for missions to the Moon, Mars, and other more distant planets.” Specifically, this technology provides fuel for “vapor compression heat pumps to operate. From there, EV engines help maintain habitats on the Moon and Mars, while controlling heat and supporting life inside spacecraft.” Thanks to the “subcooled flow boiling” technique, NASA technology can increase the current through improved heat transfer through the charging cable. This will significantly reduce the time needed to fully charge a vehicle. NASA explains that an electric current with a minimum strength of 1,400 amps can fully charge an electric car within 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the fastest chargers used in science and industry today only produce a maximum of 520 amps, and most chargers on the market only support less than 150 amps. A research team from Purdue University, led by mechanical engineering professor Issam Mudawar, said their experiment successfully…

Charging an electric car in the rain is not dangerous

“Can the car charge when it rains?” is a question that many people still ask about the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle segment. Companies say that charging when it rains is safe for people and vehicles, because electric vehicles and charging stations are thoroughly tested for safety under harsh conditions before they can be sold on the market. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination that can cause fatal accidents. Therefore, the vehicle’s battery and charging system are designed to be as watertight as possible, and integrate many additional technologies to protect against discharge, short circuit, etc. Each step of the charging process is carefully calculated to To protect the driver, electronic components must comply with strict rules set by safety organizations around the world, including the Ingress Protection (IP) standard, which indicates the level of dust/water resistance set. by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP standard represents the level of dust and water resistance of electronic components, and is widely used around the world. According to IEC 60529 standards, dust resistance is expressed through the first number, 1-6, water resistance is the next number from 1-8, the higher the number means the more resistant to dust/water factors. big. …

The US continues to expand car charging stations, a “golden” opportunity for VinFast

To realize the country’s plan to eliminate carbon emissions by 2050, the US Government has issued policies to develop electrified vehicles and expand the car charging station system in this country. This is a huge opportunity for VinFast electric cars in the US. New policies on expanding the car charging station system in the US Building a system of public electric charging stations will make owning an electric vehicle easier and more practical. In order to solve the problem of a limited number of charging stations and accelerate the process of making electric vehicles a popular vehicle, the US government has issued many new policies to expand the electric car charging station system nationwide. . Car charging stations in the US – a million-dollar industry According to the US Department of Energy, with 1.8 million electric cars on US roads, there are only about 100,000 charging sockets at about 41,000 public charging stations and fewer than 5,000 fast charging stations. This difference has caused many difficulties for consumers when considering traveling by electric vehicle. According to The Brattle Group (US economic and financial consulting organization), the number of electric vehicles in the US could increase to 35 million by 2030,…

How Much Does It Cost to Charge an EV?

As the world becomes more conscious of the impact of carbon emissions on the environment, Electric Vehicles (or EVs) have become increasingly popular. Public administrators and policymakers all over the world have formulated policies aimed at accelerating the transition from fossil-fuel-reliant vehicles to more eco-friendly electric vehicles. For most drivers, however, purchasing an EV is not just about the transition to cleaner energy but also about economics. It is more affordable to power an EV than an internal combustion engine (ICE). With the rising costs of fuel and the availability of government incentives, electric cars have become more economical and convenient than ever before. But what is the actual cost of charging an electric vehicle? Well, the answer isn’t as clear-cut as one would expect. What Determines the Cost of Charging an Electric Vehicle? There is no simple one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to how much charging an EV costs. A whole host of factors can affect the cost, like your vehicle’s model, type of charger, electricity rates in your state, energy provider, weather conditions and time of the day. Let’s take a brief look at each of these variables. Electricity Rates and Providers In the US, utilities tend to…
