Garbage truck (electric)

A common example of the battery electric trucks is the Garbage Truck. Since it makes many stops in carrying garbage it is more practical to use an electric vehicle than a combustion truck, which would be idling much of the time; it also reduces noise in residential areas.
Garbage trucks are excellent candidates for electric drive. Most of their time is spent stopping, starting or idling. These activities are where internal combustion engines are their least efficient. In preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games, 3,000 of the internal combustion engine garbage trucks in Beijing were replaced with lithium ion polymer battery pack electric drive trucks. The batteries were procured for about $3,300 each. In France, some all-electric garbage trucks produced by Power Vehicle Innovation have been operating since 2011 in the city of Courbevoie, the first local authorities in France to acquired them.

In 2014, North America became home to its own electric garbage truck. Called the ERV (electric refuse vehicle) it hit the road in Chicago in September of 2014. It was the first of an up to $13.4 million purchase order for up to 20 trucks. The PO was won in a competitive bid by Motiv Power Systems in 2012. The majority of the money used to purchase the first truck came from a DoE grant secured by then-Senator Barack Obama. The City of Chicago runs the Motiv ERV on different residential refuse and recycling routes of up to 60 miles, saving 2,688 gallons a year.Chicago specified that this ERV must meet the demanding requirements placed on all of its garbage trucks. This included 60 mile range, a payload capacity of nine tons and 1000 pounds per cubic yard of compaction. These specifications make the ERV capable of use anywhere in Chicago. To supply enough electricity to move the truck and power the hydraulics all day, the ERV is equipped with 200 kilowatt-hours of energy, in ten battery packs. Full charge time is 8 hours using the Motiv Universal Fast Charger

Electric Truck : Newton

Before going the Newton first let me tell you about Electric Trucks.
An electric truck is a truck powered by electricity , yeah that's all .Its working is somewhat similar to electric cars . There are many types of Electic Trucks means the types depends upon its application like
General Trucks
Pickup trucks
Semi-trailer and tractor trucks
Milk float
Garbage truck
Off-Road & Mining truck
I will provide you information about these some other day,.............So lets start with NEWTON

NEWTON:

Launched in 2006, the Newton electric truck is an all electric commercial vehicle from Smith Electric Vehicles. The Newton comes in three GVW configurations: 7,500 pounds (3,400 kg), 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) and 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg). Each is available in short, medium or long wheelbase.

The truck was launched with a 120 kilowatt electric induction motor from Enova Systems, driven by Lithium-Ion Iron Phosphate batteries supplied by Valence Technology. In 2012 Smith re-released the Newton with new driveline and battery systems that were developed inhouse. Smith offers the battery pack in either 80kWh or 120kWh configurations

Newton was named Green Commercial of the Year in the electric vehicle section of Fleet Transport magazine’s Irish Truck of the Year Awards 2010, sponsored by Castrol.
As of October 2012, the Newton is sold worldwide and available with three different payload capacities from 6,100 to 16,200 lb (2,800 to 7,300 kg). The lithium-ion battery pack is available in varying sizes that deliver a range from 55 to 110 mi (89 to 177 km) and a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).

Mahindra GenZe

Mahindra GenZe, the American electric two wheeler making subsidiary of the Indian conglomerate, has announced that it will be participating in the Consumer Electronics Show 2015 (CES) which is set to open its doors to the media on January 5 in Las Vegas.The GenZe has two electric two wheelers in its current lineup – the GenZe 2.0 scooter and the E-Bike – both of which are targeted at urban dwelling youngsters. The company’s two wheelers value excellent practicality and functionality over form. There could be a new product or technology showcase at the CES 2015.

The GenZe 2.0 is a minimalistic zero emission two wheeler which employs an exposed lightweight aluminium exoskeleton single-piece chassis which constitutes most of the bodywork. The Back Bay carrying bin sits in place of a pillion seat and is voluminous enough to accommodate backpacks, groceries, etc.

The scooter is motivated by a hub-mounted brush-less permanent magnet motor which generates a healthy torque of 130 Nm, strong enough to carry 125 kg of weight (rider and payload). Power to the motor comes from a 1.6 kWh Li-Ion battery pack which can be removed from the vehicle easily if the owner wishes to charge it indoors.

A full charge can be achieved in 3.5 hours through a 110 V 5 amps socket and a maximum range is claimed to be 30 miles (48.3 km). The scooter can reach speeds of up to 30 miles (48.3 kph) and it can hit the limit in under 8 seconds. Of course, the runabout benefits from regenerative braking and front disc brake.

The salient feature is the 7-inch Cruise-Connect touchscreen display which provides speed, range, battery status and charge state, energy consumption, and Co2 reduction. It also has a copy of owners manual and can be secured with a password. The scooter also comes with wireless charging facility for laptops, mobile phones and tablets.

Electric Aircrafts

First let me tell you What is Electric Aircraft ?
An aircraft that runs on electric motor rather than IC engine (internal combustion ) . The power source (elecrticity) comes from fuel cells, solar cells, ulrtacapacitors, power beaming or batteries. Battery is a common word, but i think only few people knows about other power sources. I will explain them some other day.Lets get back on our topic,
Currently flying aircrafts are mostly eperimental demonstrators, including manned and unmanned aerial vehicle. Electrically powered model aircraft have been flown since the 1970s, with one report in 1957. The first man carrying electrically powered flights were made in1973. In 2015,a manned solar powered plane Solar Impulse begin a planned 5-month circumnavigation of the Earth.

Let get back back in the past .........................hmmm...in 1883, Gaston Tissandier was he first to use electric motor in the airship propulsion. The following year Charles Renard and Arthur Krebs flew La france with more powerful motor.
In 1964, William C Brown demonstrates on CBS News with Walter Cronkite a model helocopter that receives all the power needed for flight from a microwave beam.
Its a very long topic to discuss, So today i will give info. about few Electric Aircrafts:

Electric BL1E Electra:

  

The French BL1E Electra was the first registered electric aircraft in the world . It took its first flight in 23 Dec 2007. It was flew by Elecravia team with the APAME Association . It is a open-cockpit airplane.

The aircraft was flew foe 48 min. covering 50 km. 

Specificaton:

The BL1E "Electra" is powered by an 18-kW(24 hp) disk-brushed electric engine driven  by a 47 kg (104 lb) KOKAM Lithium-Polymer battery power pack. It was first electric realization of the french company ELectravia.

Hugues Duval MC15E Cri-Cri:

On September 5 2010, pilot Hugues Duval sets a world record for electric aircraft with his twin engine MC15E CriCri. The aircraft has been equiped with Electravia engines, controllers,batteries and propellers.

Durin the Pontoise Air show, a top speed of 262km/hr was recorded by aero club de France organisers

  

Hollywood Stars that turn green (part I)

Many of the Hollywood stars are currently driving Electric cars which includes Leonardo,Justin Bieber, Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, Brad Pitt,Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer Aniston,Jessica Alba,Miley Cyrus,Rachel Bilson,Drew Barrymore, Demi Moore
Today i will reveal a list of electric cars owened by Justin Bieber .

Justin Bieber:

Justin Drew Bieber ( born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. Bieber released his debut EP, My World, in late 2009. It was certified platinum in the U.S. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Electric cars drive by Bieber:

Fisker Karma:

Justin's Fisker is fully chrome-plated which gives it a swaggy look.The Fisker Karma is a range-extended electric vehicle luxury sports sedan that was produced by Fisker Automotive between 2011 and 2012. The cars were manufactured at Valmet Automotive in Finland.The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rated the Karma's combined city/highway fuel economy at 52 mpg_-US (4.5 L/100 km; 62 mpg_-) equivalent (MPG-e) in all-electric mode, and at 20 mpg_-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg_-imp) in gasoline-only mode. EPA's official all-electric range is 32 mi (51 km). Due to the very small cabin interior volume, the EPA rated the Fisker Karma as a subcompact.

Performance:

The Karma's two 201 brake horsepower (204 PS) motors produce 1,300 newton metres (960 lbf·ft) of torque.The Karma features a 125 mph (201 km/h) top speed and is capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in 6.3 seconds

Electric Cars 2016

Models currently available in some markets

Chevrolet Volt (second generation)

The second generation Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid debuted at the 2015 North American International Auto Show to replace the original Volt, on sale since 2010. Retail deliveries as a 2016 model year began in October 2015 in the U.S. and Canada. Availability in the American market is limited to California and the other 10 states that follow California’s zero emission vehicle regulations, and it is scheduled to go on sale as a 2017 model year in the rest of the U.S. by the second quarter of 2016

Featuring a restyled exterior and interior, the Volt's revised battery system and drivetrain allow, under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cycle, an all-electric range of 53 mi (85 km), up from the first generation's 38 mi (61 km). The EPA combined fuel economy in gasoline-only mode was rated at 42 mpg_-US (5.6 L/100 km; 50 mpg_-imp), up from 37 mpg_-US(6.4 L/100 km; 44 mpg_-imp) for the previous generation. The official rating for combined city/highway fuel economy in all-electric mode is 106 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent(MPG-e), up from 98 MPG-e for the 2015 first generation mode

Specifications

The Volt's revised batteries and Voltec powertrain feature a larger 1.5-liter range extenderengine tuned for regular gasoline instead of premium required by the first generation.^[2][6]

As the first Voltec iteration, the second generation battery pack uses battery cells by LG Chem, their new chemistry reportedly stores 20% more electrical energy. The second generation battery pack uses fewer cells (192 vs 288), weighs 29 lb (13 kg) less and features a capacity increased to 18.4 kWh. The battery pack is projected to use a power controller integral to the motor housing with electric motors weighing 100 lb (45 kg) less while using less rare earth metal.

Tesla Model E (2016)

As auto fans, we speculate about anything and it for this reason that each of us has been talking about the 2016 Tesla Model E despite that there are two years before its release. To date, only little information has been supplied about model E but based on speculations it is likely to be released soon after model X is released. This to say that the earliest we can expect it is 2017. Length-wise, Model E is expected to reduce by at least 20% when compared to model X. Its power is expected to come from a 48 kWh battery pack capable of powering it for not less than 180 miles.

2016 Tesla Model E Engine

We know less about the preferred engine for the aforementioned Model E. However, what we can’t deny is that it will be a great car with sufficient power supply. Basing argument on the kind of batteries featured in Model S, we expect Model E to feature a less powerful battery. This is expected to be a 48 kWh lithium battery which according to most sources will be able to drive the car for not less than 200 miles. Some rumors claim that this will not be the only battery hence there is likelihood that there will be a more powerful alternative battery.

2016 Tesla Model E Performance

Power efficient is one of the key areas where Tesla is expected to work on. Most people expect that its performance level will be better than it is with model S. For instance, on a single charge, you should expect the car to drive for at least 300 kilometres before you charge it again. This means that it will have one of the most powerful engines when compared to its competitors.

2016 Tesla Model E Release and Price

Based on some recent reports, 2016 Tesla Model E is likely to debut in one of the most known Auto Shows in 2015. That said the probability of the car be designed in 2016 and the sales starting in 2017 is very high. Official details for the price are not yet clarified but there is likelihood that it will go for 35,000 dollars
