Back home, we have a host of critics bemoaning EV subsidies while cruising down the National Highway System, which was built in the 1950s with 59 Billion Federal tax dollars. Adjusted for inflation that’s a half a $Trillion subsidy to the auto industry (using a curious defense angle). Further, Tesla dominance over every other electric car has created the false impression that the subsidies only benefit them. Ironically, the $10k the government gave me to buy a Volt represented nearly a third of the Chevy’s value, a huge motivator. With my Tesla, the subsidy came to about 10%, not such a significant influence.

In what has been touted as Australia’s largest rollout of stand-alone systems (SPS) to date, Western Power is all set to roll out 57 power systems, which combine solar and battery technology with a backup generator.

“The Town of Boxborough is supportive of solar energy system projects and the solar array at 1414 Massachusetts Ave. recently constructed by Green Street Power Partners. Their team is the latest example of how the Town is working with private entities to provide renewable energy options for its residents and businesses” said Adam L. Duchesneau, town planner for Boxborough. “Since there are limited solar energy system opportunities on municipal land, we hope this project encourages other land owners to explore ways in which they can make their properties more sustainable or even provide direct energy benefits to others within the community.”

The Dakar rally, which is currently underway in Peru, 6th to 17th January 2019, is known and respected as one of the most challenging and toughest events in motorsport. Often the routes take in mountainous and rocky terrains combined with extreme heat and dry conditions in very remote locations. As such, all the crews require access to remote power, which has traditionally been supplied by diesel generator sets.

Use flashlights, headlamps, battery-operated lanterns or glow sticks rather than candles or other flammable lighting sources.

Other utilities incorporate demand charges when customers consume energy above a certain number of kilowatts.

"MXenes are the key to helping silicon reach its potential in batteries," Gogotsi said. "Because MXenes are two-dimensional materials, there is more room for the ions in the anode and they can move more quickly into it — thus improving both capacity and conductivity of the electrode. They also have excellent mechanical strength, so silicon-MXene anodes are also quite durable up to 450 microns thickness."

When an elderly couple was found brutally murdered in their bed – stabbed 128 times — police faced the coldest killer they’d ever encountered … and he was just 15

So, yes, DC transformerless is a streamlined, future-proof architecture, but you will be making a compromise in efficiency somewhere. Well, except with the Sol-Ark inverter.

Campers Scotland has developed its intriguing 191-in (485-cm) Eco Explorer hybrid mini-campervan by mining the Japanese used market for what it describes as mint-condition Toyota Alphard Hybrid vans. It uses the same strategy for its Mitsubishi D:5 Terrain camper van and describes itself as one of the largest UK importers of these types of affordable, high-quality used Japanese base vans.
