Powering Up Californians Act Is Signed Into Law

The Powering Up Californians Act, proposed by State Senator Josh Becker (D-13), has been approved by Governor Gavin Newsom and removes a significant obstacle to the state of California reaching its climate, air quality, and equity goals. California has to electrify automobiles and buildings in order to achieve these goals and to comply with state and federal legislation. To do this, the state must modernize its electric distribution system in some areas and shorten the time it takes to connect to the grid. The efforts to clean up the air are being undermined by delays in powering buildings and constructing EV charging stations. Affordable housing units in San Francisco are vacant, and because of energization delays, electric big rigs like those shown below that could be replacing harmful diesel pollutants are idle. What Does The Powering Up Californians Act Do? SB 410 (Senate Bill 410): Declares it to be the policy of the state that utilities must modernize the grid “in time to accomplish the state’s decarbonization goals and implement federal, state, regional, and local air quality and decarbonization standards, plans, and laws”; Mandates utilities to report on their compliance with those timelines, explain any noncompliances and how those will…

EVs Have More Room, Here’s Why

In comparison to larger gas-powered vehicles, electric vehicles may appear to be small toys from the outside. Don’t be fooled by someone’s size, even if they appear small on the exterior and fit better in smaller parking spaces: In reality, electric vehicles (EVs) cram a maximum amount of space into a minimal amount of space. Because EVs have fewer moving parts than their gas-powered equivalents, they have more room than their gas-powered competitors. Additionally, many vehicle components are now smaller as a result of design and technological advancements, giving EVs greater space for both passengers and freight. It’s not just the ICE engine itself is taking more space, but the whole Automotive Drivetrain No engine equals more room Engines, gas tanks, multi-speed gearboxes, exhaust systems, catalytic converters, and other substantial components have long been a feature of gas-powered vehicles. However, EVs just don’t require all those big parts. They don’t need a catalytic converter or an exhaust system because they don’t burn fuel. An EV does not require a grille because it does not have a radiator. Additionally, the motors in electric vehicles only have one speed, which negates the need for a transmission or gearbox. Smaller components including spark plugs,…

The Skateboard Effect’s Effect on EV Space: A Full-size Interior with a Mid-Size Body

EVs are roomier than gas cars for another reason, smart design. The skateboard system is a design used by VW, Ford, and other EV automakers. Due to where an EV’s wheels are mounted, this method gives EVs a space advantage. Imagine a gasoline vehicle as a set of skates, and an electric vehicle as a skateboard. The wheels in a pair of skates are positioned rather closely together beneath the skate body. Everything is jammed in between the front and rear wheels; there isn’t much space between them. Conversely, the wheels of a skateboard are spaced much farther apart under the skateboard platform. EVs still place everything between the wheels, just like a gas automobile, but because of the different wheel spacing design, there is a lot more interior space. Batteries, brakes, motors, and other essential components are dispersed along the’skateboard’ platform, usually inside the platform to leave a level basis for the EV’s outside framework and interior design. In addition to providing EVs with more internal room than gas vehicles, the skateboard design also lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, improving handling. You can quickly see how interior space expands when you consider that EVs require considerably…

The Value of Smart Electrification

A crucial step in the worldwide effort to fight climate change and cut greenhouse gas emissions is the switch to electric cars (EVs). The capacity of our power systems to handle the growing demand for electricity, particularly from renewable sources, is one of the issues presented by this transformation. We must embrace the idea of smart electrification if we are to address this issue and fully utilize EVs’ potential to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. Smart Electrification: A Must Implementing measures that improve the integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical grid while concurrently lowering peak demands and grid congestion is known as smart electrification. It includes a range of operational advantages, such as improved adaptability and capacity for energy storage. These advantages are essential for minimizing operational costs, limiting the curtailment of fluctuating renewable energy supply, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. What a Smart Charger Does Smart charging is a key element of smart electrification.

US Government Announces Plan to Replace Federal Vehicle Fleet with Electric Vehicles

The federal government is planning to spend $770 million on zero-emission vehicles and charging stations in fiscal 2023 as agencies begin ramping up to meet President Biden’s ambitious timeline to phase out gas-guzzling cars and trucks. Agencies plan to buy 9,500 ZEVs in fiscal 2023, according to a Government Accountability Office report, which federal fleet offices project will cost $470 million. That marks a $200 million increase over what it would cost agencies to buy the cheapest available vehicles. They will spend another $300 million on 8,500 charging stations, provided they have the funding to do so. In fiscal 2022, agencies fell short of their ZEV goals in part due to inadequate funding. Meeting targets is also contingent on the availability of mission-appropriate vehicles from manufacturers. The Transportation Department, for example, has run into issues with limited quantities of electric vehicles available. It had hoped to purchase 430 EVs in fiscal 2022, but only received 292 after manufacturers canceled some of the orders. The Energy Department estimated one-in-four EV orders by federal agencies in fiscal 2022 were canceled. Other agencies, such as Customs and Border Protection, said no current electric vehicle technology can support its needs in extreme environments at…
