Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more popular because they can be conveniently refueled with plug-in charging stations that recharge their batteries with electricity, especially when powered by solar power.

The solar energy canopy will produce up to 30,000 kilowatt hours per year, which is enough to charge six electric cars a day.

New charger ‘fills’ lithium ion batteries of electric vehicles Nissan LEAF in under 30 minute.

Pairing solar power panel charging stations with electric cars will be the wave of the future in automotive technology, according to Nick Hylla of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.

The pre-commercial trial is expected to start in early 2012 and will involve as many as 50 electric vehicles.

Buried in the high hopes for electric vehicles is the very real possibility that they can make money by powering and regulating the grid.

Here?s a breath of fresh air for the future of electric cars: Cities across the country have been given the green light to install more solar power charging stations to energize the demand for electric vehiccles.

Vehicle-to-grid technology allows networks of electric cars (EVs) to function like a giant battery with an intelligent software interface feeding power from electric car to grid or grid to car on an as-needed basis.

The take-off of RES is a key investment opportunity. But it also poses unique challenges: variable renewables will have a profound, transformative effect on the electricity system as a whole.

REV is a private company that has developed the AutoGrid Network, a cloud-based energy asset management system that synchronizes the stored energy of electric vehicles with the fluctuating needs of the electrical grid.

With more and more automakers developing electric vehicles, the need for a universal charging plug is on the rise.

People aren’t so gung-ho about smart meters and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), but they are about electric cars and lithium ion batteries.

The Renault Nissan Alliance, PSA Peugeot Citroën and Mitsubishi Motors have decided to develop the technical reference for compliance of public recharge equipments for electric cars with lithium ion batteries in Europe.

European Wind Energy Association said it fully supports the Commission?s plans to eliminate unnecessary delays in authorisation procedures for European power lines.

Bavaria Parkgaragen GmbH and E.ON AG have teamed up to open the first eight jointly operated charging points for electric vehicles in Munich.

The publication of two International EV charging Standards by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) lifts a major hurdle for the EV charging infrastructure, supporting the mass adoption of electric cars.

Danish wind turbines maker Vestas and a Chinese energy research institute have issued a joint research report on the integration of wind power with the existing electric power grid.

VKW will use Terra DC chargers to power fleet of 300 electric vehicles in prestigious VLOTTE project.

Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen agreed on a universal charging system for electric cars with lithium ion batteries.
