Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Prototype Installed on Solar Panel Tracking Arrays

EV-Charge America is displaying the Smartlet EV Charging Stations for use with 100% renewable energy applications powered by the sun. These installations will significantly reduce dependence on foreign oil and eliminate the generation of harmful green house gases. Huge solar tracking arrays like the one in this video in Las Vegas can provide sufficient power to charge hundreds of electric vehicles and still have large amounts of energy left over to sell back to the electric utility to reduce overall electricity costs and usage.

Bedini SSG charging HHO cell

using the flyback output power of the field collapse in the Bedini SG circuit to charge a water filled capacitor creating hydrogen and oxygen. similar to the Meyer fuel cell concept using low amp, high volt pulse charging, with any leakage current carried by ‘plasma’ (charged H and O ions) from the breakdown of dielectric water. Not using huge amp flow through highly conductive electrolyte / water mix as in conventional electrolysis. not many bubbles yet though… no measurements or comparisons of efficiency yet.. will put together a better water cell and power up the Bedini spikes first. next step (after the rebuild,energy boost and fine tuning) is to power the bedini from a small petrol powered generator and feed the HHO output into the air intake, to compare the engines fuel efficiency with and without the hydrogen boost / SG energy drain .

BYD F3DM high price reflects the hard charging electric vehicles predicament 1

As the related technology is not yet mature, and parts production for the time being can not form a scale, so the high price of electric vehicles. BYD F3DM version as much as 169,800 yuan low carbon price, has more than double the normal price of more than F3 cars.

    After several delays, finally listed BYD F3DM low-carbon version and for individual sale. BYD official explained that the reason for the delay was due to wait for the State’s policy on the introduction of new energy subsidies, and denied earlier media reports that BYD to give up mass-produced electric car talk.

    Delay new energy subsidies to the electric car market sales prospects increased uncertainty in the battery technology, social facilities, policies are not in place to support the case, the electric car is still a long road to popularity.

    An unnamed automotive analyst said in an interview, BYD F3DM for personal sales, to some extent reflects the development of electric cars, BYD’s determination, but the current environment, BYD This was more “play the concept of” main purpose is to rely on “image projects” to bring the traditional car sales.

    Target sales of 1,000 vehicles this year, only

    Two weeks ago, postponed several times in the time to market, after market sales for personal BYD F3DM low carbon version finally appeared.

    F3DM the use of electric and conventional dual-mode drive technology, energy, equipped with 1.0L engines, the official price of 169 800, will take to promote sales of certified sales of the model. Subject to capacity constraints and domestic BYD most other cities in the lack of charging stations and other facilities, F3DM currently only sold in Shenzhen, the future will be at the right time across the country.

    Recently, this reporter made a Shenzhen BYD brand dealership learned, F3DM low carbon version of the vehicle has to store and accept reservations, but so far only sold 12. 4S stores in Beijing BYD no F3DM like cars, when there is no clear timetable for the sale.

    BYD official declared, F3DM electric vehicles for personal sales are popular ice-breaking move, but analysts point out that subject to cost, the price of electric vehicles currently still unrealistically high, and the country not yet on the new energy subsidies introduced, F3DM sales outlook.

    BYD itself, even for low-carbon version F3DM sales model is not optimistic about this year, the company expects sales this year F3DM low-carbon version only 1000 or so.

    BYD Auto Sales Company vice president Wang Jianjun, acknowledges that this is the market capacity to set goals.

    He said that society is willing to pay people to buy environmentally friendly cars in the end how many still unknown, and new energy vehicles currently covered by individual subsidies only 5 cities, considering the subsidy in place of the time, the use of the environment and issues such as convenience, 1000 sales goal is rational.

    BYD is the concept of the play?

    ”Zaochu an electric car is not difficult, the difficulty is Zaochu low cost, security, environmental protection and into the bulk of the electric car, the relevant technical bottlenecks, high cost and mass production facilities are an obstacle to electric cars.” BYD insiders frankly, the domestic large-scale development of new energy vehicles time not to, but F3DM low-carbon version of the introduction of that BYD will never give up mass production of electric vehicles.

    This reporter learned that the German auto company Daimler Motor Company has signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop the Chinese market areas and sales of electric vehicles. In addition, the BYD Auto Company and Volkswagen AG of Germany signed the cooperation agreement for electric cars is also advancing. Under the agreement, the two companies will hybrid vehicles and lithium batteries in electric vehicle research and development to cooperate.
